Black Hearted Pearl Posted March 20, 2004 Posted March 20, 2004 There's a six page comic strip of "The Pirates of the Caribbean" featureing Captain Jack Sparrow and Will Turner. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
Iron Bess Posted March 20, 2004 Posted March 20, 2004 Simply put... ANYTHING to make a dime. They know now they blew it, having nothing for the kids to buy so this is a way for them to get back a little of what they missed. They won't make the same mistake again, trust me. Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Captain Tito Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 Very true. When POTC2 comes out ye know they'll have more stuff. Actually, aside ffrom things like the comic, they could still put out some good stuff from the 1st one. Some of the cursed medallions replicas in their Disney stores, and all that would probably still sell <span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'>Have Parrot Bay, will travel. WILL SHARE TOO!!!</span>
Capt Grey Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 When I visited Iron Bess at the studio, one of the prop guys said they sold all the POTC props to another company. They don't have anything to make replicas. Stupid. And actually, the comic is in all the Disney Adventure magazines. We just got the newest one and there is another story in there with Commadore Norrington. Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.

imadrunkenpirate Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 aye... how stupid. o well... -sigh- It'll be the rope's end for that one, me bucko.
Katarina Leigh Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 aye, I have to sadly agree. "Dum Spiro Spero"- "While I breathe, I hope"
Isabella Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 I saw that not long before the movie was released on DVD they sold a lot of orginal costumes, and props on Ebay. If you go to Disneys auctions they might still have listings.
Lady Elaina Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 You would think that they would had made a movie tie in book with lots of pics... Master and Commander had that.

Captian Wolfy Wench Posted March 28, 2004 Posted March 28, 2004 I agree that Disney lost out on a grea' oppertunity to make TONS of money with good PotC merchandise, but the comics don't bother me. I rather like them. Bu' I just love seeing how people draw the characters, since I do so much of tha' meself. Captain Wolfy Wench
LadyBarbossa Posted March 28, 2004 Posted March 28, 2004 Aye... insane to be exact. Now.. the issue is would they learn from the mistake as George Washington did? He was most likely not apt to make the same mistake again after learning from the first. Still.. there is a market... a great one .. for PotC Merchandise... if some were released today.. I guarantee, it would still sell! I'm not kidding. I know a few friends of my nephew would love to have some stuff.. be it action figures.. or the cursed coin.. maybe swords or pistols... costumes... people still begging for a novelization - other than the junior version - of the movie. More shirts.... replicas of the coins... props... Even I was drooling over the Barbossa ring that was sold in the fall... was rather bummed.. still am... rather expensive piece, considering it started off in the auction at $800 & ended in the auction at over $3,000! Ouch! Not even Tavington's uniform cost that much! & I know someone who bought the Tavington uniform for around $700! Insane that a good majority of the stuff was scrapped. Silly gooses! PotC swag.. scattered all about like the cursed Aztec gold... in private hands. ::le sigh:: I admit.. I still wish I was able to get that ring. Would be awesome to be at the Rev War re-enactments with the Barbossa ring, the sword & pistol... & the great thing is.. I can get away with using them! ::dances around:: ::evil grinz:: One can only hope that things will improve. Again... still a market out there for PotC stuff... I even heard it on the radio the other morning when they mentioned celebrity Bdays... it was Keira Knightley's Bday... turning 19th, Happy Bday to the young lady! ... that the 2 radio personalities here in CR just LOVE the movie! It's one of their favs! So.. yeah.. there is still a market! Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
piratelassie Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Can't say I approve o' the drawing, tho' its better than I could do. A wee bit o' swag is cool (ie piano music fer the score, that sort o' thing) but it'll be a sad day if they take it as far o'erboard as they did with Harry Potter
John_Young Posted April 5, 2004 Posted April 5, 2004 I just bought the Disney Adventures mag this weekend. The Comic is a hoot, and they say in the back of the issue that the next one (April 27th), they'll have another Jack comic. Booyah! "Yo Ho, all together hoist the colours high Heave Ho, theives and beggers Never shall we die..." "I don't care who ye say you are lad, if ye say 'savvy' one more time, I'll bury this cutlass in that thick skull of yers!" -Captain John Young - PILF
The WildHair'd Wench Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 Is it me or is his nose way to pointy - he looks more Bob Hope-ish. Tha Hairball

They won't make the same mistake again, trust me. I picked it up & read it. It was cute. But... kinda... cheesy. Many funny parts to it. Which saved it. But ... I am looking forward to the next one. Well.. I look forward to some PotC swag in the fall. Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
Dreamie D'Avanzo Posted April 18, 2004 Posted April 18, 2004 I've looked n' looked... but I can't seem to find a copy. hum. And yes.. that picture is quite....how you say, pointy? Maybe they're tryin' to make him less sexually attractive... I know I wouldn'a want to run me hands through that greezy mess. ***slathers eyeliner on 'im and runs away*** Yhar! ~Dreamie~ "Ah, the city.. with all it's people and their accumulated wealth, yes?" -Yoshimo www.Dreamie.org
