Cut-throat Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 I was recently at a gaming shop an I happened upon some pirate action figures. I cannot remember the name o the company that made em'. They had Blackbeard an Anne Bonney (sold seperately). The sculpt was average for the both o them (nowhere near the expertise of say, McFarlaine Toys), an the accessories were interesting (multiple pistols, an an axe for Anne Bonney). I be wonderin if'n anyone else had seen these ? An if'n ye have, are there any other figures ?
Red-Handed Jill Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 Hmm... the only ones that come to mind are Odyssey Toys.
Cut-throat Posted July 9, 2005 Author Posted July 9, 2005 Those were hillarious lass ! I loved the pics, thank ye. But the figures I be inquirin about look far more realistic. They be made o hard plastic, not the bendable type. The Blackbeard an Anne Bonney I saw were fashioned after actual historical renditions of them.
John_Young Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 I seem to remember seeing some of the hard plastic figures at educational shops. They're not very good sculpts in my opinion. "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
Cut-throat Posted July 10, 2005 Author Posted July 10, 2005 They're not, really, but they be ten times better than most o the pirate figures I have seen that not be related to POTC.
Black Jack Morgan Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 I meeself have got the Pirates O' the Caribee figures, damn fine I swear. Da only other figures I be knowin' of is one called The Captain by Dusty Trail. Taint seen de ones you be talkin 'bout. "We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers....thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."
Cut-throat Posted July 10, 2005 Author Posted July 10, 2005 Here, this be the Blackbeard I be talkin about.... http://www.epartyunlimited.com/blackbeard-...ion-figure.html Just found another Blackbeard. This one is pretty damn cool. http://darkfigures.com/blpiacfiwite.html
Cut-throat Posted July 10, 2005 Author Posted July 10, 2005 Here be the link to the Anne Bonny figure...Guess the company's name be Accoutrements... http://www.ehobbies.com/au11333.html
Red-Handed Jill Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 Those were hillarious lass ! I loved the pics, thank ye. But the figures I be inquirin about look far more realistic. They be made o hard plastic, not the bendable type. The Blackbeard an Anne Bonney I saw were fashioned after actual historical renditions of them. Figured that, but these ones are so much fun. I particularly like the poses they put them in - Blackbeard with "happy feet."
Cut-throat Posted July 10, 2005 Author Posted July 10, 2005 Its funny, their Captain Kidd figure reminds me o the Captain Morgan from Captain Morgan's spiced rum. An yer right, the Blackbeard with "happy feet" an a big ol' grin on his face is classic.
Captain Midnight Posted September 23, 2005 Posted September 23, 2005 Aye, the figure of Blackbeard in the second link is awesome! Very realistic. "Now then, me bullies! Would you rather do the gallows dance, and hang in chains 'til the crows pluck your eyes from your rotten skulls? Or would you feel the roll of a stout ship beneath your feet again?" ---Captain William Kidd--- (1945)
tishsparrow Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 hmmm, these are good too. i'm on the lookout for realistic pirate figures for my little pub im making... need more girls though.
Mission Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 I remember seeing the first Blackbeard and Anne Bonney in shops outside of the San Francisco Maritime Park. I have to agree with John_Young; not too impressive IMO. That 12" Blackbeard AF looks pretty good. Awfully clean kit, though. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Jack2 Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 Just found another Blackbeard. This one is pretty damn cool.http://darkfigures.com/blpiacfiwite.html Darkfigures.com has some really great action figures. The Han Solo figure looks just like Harrison Ford. I am glad the toy companies did such a great job on the POTC figures. Jack II
