I got this one from Kandytoys, importers we've had here before now I think, the trick with these though is that the two crew come in pairs, fortunately the pairs are constant, but you need to make sure you know which - otherwise identical - set you're buying! Mine come with figures not a little reminiscent of the Disney movies' Davy Jones crew, with a wild-bearded lobster-claw and rather dim-witted looking chap standing doing not much! I'd already put the ship with the others in storage, so grabbed a couple of screen-shots yesterday (Thursday 16th) to A) give anyone who hasn't seen it in listings half-an-idea as to it's wherewithal, and B) show the other pair of figures, who are garbed to match the 'good-guys' from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise! Then I found a better shot of them on Amazon, but the paint (and sculpting) is so crappy on these two, it may be that some of these are copies of the others! China huh? No honor among thieves . . . or pirates!
Bought these Kandy Toys ones this week at the seaside - a variation / combination of figures that you have, seems rather random. https://poundstoreplasticwarriors.wordpress.com/2021/09/18/pirate-ship-play-set-ahoy/
ReplyDeleteWell . . . feebleBay's clearly following my feed as they sent me a 'final offer' yesterday, on "last one available" despite dozens of sellers offering shed-loads of them!!!! Mostly though you do seem to get one pair or the other (someone on the PW group had the other pair a while ago - I'll wait for them to come-in lose!), but that last pair in the post look to be knock-offs, so who knows the truth!

You do ahve a crossed-pair Mark! You swordsman is definitely a better sculpt/paint than that last one in the post, so someone is knocking them off?
