R is for Reprobate Resin Robber Rascals

Now, I have to confess, I've lost track of some stuff this year, so while I'm sure on bulk of these being from Peter Evans, I'm not so sure on the last pair, they may have been a charity-shop or (from the photograph-dates) a Sandown Park thing, but many thanks to Peter for the bulk of them, if not the lot!

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!
