I managed to add to the Zizzle collection again this year, but I
have to admit I didn't try too hard or do too well, finding only two suitable
lots, letting the better one go and buying the other a few weeks later, a
couple of three months or so ago! Of the eight figures in the lot, four were
duplicates/damaged, but the other four were new for ITLAPD!
I then photographed them when they arrived
and a month or so later, having forgotten I'd photographed them, did so again!
Two more from 'last year's' Chinese crew,
another of Davy Jones's slimy pals and - at last - captain Jack Sparrow
himself. Now, here's the weird thing, I remember seeing all these in the shops
at the time and thinking I bet the 54mm
guys are loving these, but not buying them as I was still only a small
scale collector.
Now, of course, I don't know how many there
were! But I think it's about two or three sets of three or four figures per
movie, for the last two, with an unknown number of the simpler-based ones which
kicked-off the sample three or four years ago, from the first movie - and
harder to find.
So if I manage to get a few more additions
over the next year or two and only show them, we can look at them all together
in a future post?
The whole purchase lot before the rejects were hived-off,
Cap'n J is definitely between a rock and a hard place, running from the
frying-pan and heading for the fire or . . . between the devil-fish and a deep
blue grave!
Close ups of Mr Depp and the four rejects
having a scrap, just because they were there, and won't be! And because this
might have been a funnier post if things had been different, but it's just a
case of finding my feet again and getting it posted without my little editor on
the end of the bed.
