Such is the way of things that I bought
these just after last year's ITLAPD, I can't remember what I shelled-out for
them, but they would have been going for a song, or I wouldn't have jumped at
them so soon after clearing the decks of the previous 12-month's stuff!
Although they look like the action figures,
they are roughly 54mm, and are a continuation of the earlier, more simple or
'bog-standard' based series we've looked at in ITLAPD's passim (2018 I think,
under Zizzle in the tag-list they
will be below this post if you jump the tag), but now with landscaped bases,
which actually limits their use in some imaginations!
Two of Davy Jones' crew; the man himself
and one of the seaweed men, this Davy is much of an improvement over the one in
the previous series, but if he didn't exist, there'd be nothing wrong with the
old one, if that makes sense! They both have seabed/coral pod-bases which can
pass for ground or beach.
Two of the Chinese vessels crew (third or
fourth movie?); The boss-man's base is also quite generic, it's the fat bloke's
which is so specific, but I remember looking at these in the shops at the time
they were released and thinking several of them had bases which limit their
scope, so it's pure chance three of mine are quite generic and match the others
better than this last chap; he also has a separate loop-over cross-belt.
The seller had sent the wrong captain, and
was quick to get the correct one in the next post with an apologetic eMail.
While I had them both in front of me I shot them together with a sizer (the
trusty berserker), before returning the 100mm action figure to the seller.
