Remember Mimir? He’s the wise talking head who told you stories in 2018’s God of War. Well, he’s now been brought to life as a brilliant animatronic.
It’s the work of Bar-El Studio, who specialises in animatronics, special effects, prosthetics and model making. The studio spent the past several months piecing together the animatronic head and revealed the finished product on January 6, 2020.
Mimir is realised in full – well, his head – with glowing golden eyes, horns, beard, and he even moves his mouth as if talking to you.
It caught the attention of God of War developer Santa Monica Studio who shared the reveal video on Twitter, describing it as “one of the single greatest tribute creations for #GodofWar we’ve ever seen.”
