I think we've seen a set of these, which
were a Charity shop purchase, years ago (2014) but here's another, sort of
channeling Fontanini with a bit of PotC thrown in for good measure . . .
and good sales! He's 60mm'ish.
Well . . . no fighting over the plunder
here, they all have a stash at their feet! I wonder if they are from a set of
'known characters', not because of the obvious 'Blackbeard' as there are two
here alone, but because the woman on the right seems to be based on a famous
painting or woodblock of a lady pirate?
There's a more 'chicky-babe' piratess on
the left, but as you can see some of them come with two base types, a sandy-beach
or a ship's deck-boards, although f you look at the middle chap (another
Blackbeard). you can see the pistols are cruder on the beach-version, so he's a
copy, or second of two?
How many there are in the whole set and
whether or not they all come in two versions is anyone's guess and do the three
treasure-chest ones have a deck-version? but it could mean as many as 16 in a
full set? 54mm (65 with base).
The two who may have come from somewhere
else, slightly more comical, but also more animated, they (like all the above)
are around the 70mm mark, and are also with the above, probably aimed at
seaside tourist, as keepsakes, although they'd look good in a sandcastle!
