Cut-throat Posted July 9, 2005 Share 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 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Handed Jill Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Hmm... the only ones that come to mind are Odyssey Toys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cut-throat Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cut-throat Posted July 10, 2005 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cut-throat Posted July 10, 2005 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Midnight Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Aye, the figure of Blackbeard in the second link is awesome! Very realistic. "Now then, me bullies!

Mission Posted October 6, 2005 Share 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." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack2 Posted October 9, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
