Saw these on JoeCustoms & with photos too

I`m hoping they will be available in the UK anytime now

Well I hope they will.

I`m pretty impressed with the figures & most certainly the likeness I`ve seen posted.

Any chance you can post photos of your`s?

I saw these at WM too! So I guess WM should be offering them also.

Checked one of my local Targets today - no sign of them yet.

Anyone with a picture link?

I'm curious as to the looks of these... PLus any useable bits and pieces.

Anyone know of an online source for these?

If you can be patient, I'm sure these will be everywhere. I get the feeling they are going to try to make up for dropping the merchanidising ball on the first one. I still can't beleive they did nothing when the first one came out. (oh, wait, McDonald's put banners up

)

Just found all of these guys at Target tonight. Pretty cool, but the articulation was somewhat limited. Not my thing though, so I left them for someone else.

Walmart has these now. I've seen them reported for as low as 4.48, but my Walmart had them $4.88. Much more resonable price for custom fodder, and I'm a big pirates fan, so this is great news (the price, not having to go to Walmart for something else

)

These are pretty neat figures I bought a few for my boys and thier playmobil pirate ships have not been the same since!

Articulation varies by figure. Most have jointed shoulders, elbows and hips. One of the Jacks (haven't checked the other) have jointed knees. My only complaint is the giant hands. Otherwise, really happy with them.

those are them? i thought those were the 7 inch figures. Wow...look great.

I just hope with them showing up this early, there's a second series coming out once the movie is released.

Too bad they can't offer a real life Kiera Knightly clone

That I'd buy:)

Great now I want a 1/18 black pearl. Or some other ship.

Found three of these figures yesterday (dont know why I purchased, but they're pretty interesting subjects) at a local WM, so let it be know they're available there as well.

as i recall from Figures.com coverage they are coming out with a variety of accessories and playsets for the 3 3/4 inch figures including a Black Pearl. It is way underscale of course but probably still 25 inches + in length..

Morian Miner · Post by **Morian Miner** » Tue May 09, 2006 7:58 am

I beleive the Pearl is 30 inches in length, but has a lot of "play" features, so it looks very toylike. But, like someone said, they look really good on Playmobil pirate ships

Theres also an island playset with some sort of building and waterwheel. I'll wait for that to go on clearance.

Quick aside on the playmobil pirate ships. Changing the sails and repainted the bright parts, you can have a fairly decent 1/18 pirate ship. Not exactly ships of the line, but remember most of the caribbean pirates operated with small sloops 35-65 feet in length.

I agree,

I recently bought the 2 large ships from the Megablocks line of lego-like
toys for my two little ones and I was blown away with how good they look. I just looked at a picture of the play ship coming for the Pirates figures and it is very toylike compared to the megablocks ships.

Post by **aferguson** » Tue May 09, 2006 9:15 am

I've seen the megabloks ships assembled at TRU, they are quite nice. I've toyed with the idea of getting one but felt they were just too small to hold 1/18 figures of any type. Surprisingly detailed and weathered, don't look like 'lego' type ships at all..

Morian Miner · Post by **Morian Miner** » Tue May 09, 2006 11:17 am

I've wanted to take a look at the Megablocks ships again, as I think they might be a good starting point for making Davy Jones ship. Plus, the wife has is into building the Lego kits, so maybe for mother's day

stv9000 · Post by **stv9000** » Tue May 09, 2006 7:34 pm

The Megablocks ships are great! I... I mean my kids have both the ships and the Islands. I did all the rigging on the ships. I have an extra Storm stalker that I have been doing some heavy modifying to.
