mishafletcher:lordhellebore:thequadproject:Why he light skinned?That might be due to the fact that Martin Luther - who lived ~450 years before Martin Luther King Jr. - was ethnically German. We’re usually white.ok but this just raises so many questions for me. like.martin luther toy–ok, weird choices, but ok. becomes the fastest selling–weirder, ok, i wouldn’t’ve thought that reformation-era historical figurines would be in high demand, but ok, fine. PLAYMOBIL FIGURINE–wait what.but so i went and googled because this is who i am as a person, right, and this is a list of things that i now know, because if i have to know it, so does everyone else. there’s apparently a sizable community of playmobil figurine collectorsthese figurines are used for lots of things including miniature wargaming but also making stopmo films?? [x][x]including multiple playmobil figurine stopmo films about the reformation?? [x][x]some of which predate the release of the luther figurine??? [x]honestly y’all i had no idea that the reformation was such a hot topici didn’t even have to dig for these videos i literally just plugged it into youtubei didn’t even scratch the surface of what’s available bc i started to go down that path and the abyss kinda stared back at me like, hey, you sure that this is a good plan, misha? and you know what, the abyss was right. this is not a path i need to go down.a playmobil figurine is apparently called a klicky?the first playmobil figurines were basically the village people in that they had construction workers and ~indians~fear not you can still definitely buy some pretty questionable stuff, tho i guess at least now they call it native american? [x]like buddy i am whitey mcwhiterson over here, but i am PRETTY SURE that totem poles and tipis come from DIFFERENT PLACES and that you shouldn’t just–incoherent ranting redacted but seriously, what, why.there’s a playmobil executioner [x]ok i’m stopping, mostly because i’ve been staring into playmobil world for like an hour and it’s starting to freak me out, but like. damn. Do you wanna come over and play with my toys? -- source link
