Twisted Two-Face Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Looks like the Evil Pirate spent some time in Jotunheim. What a great boxset, i love that they still look like individual characters rather than a generic guy; that Good Pirate is going to be my main go-to instead of Calico (when he arrives) and the Naval Officer is incredible. The Skeleton sells the set though, he looks fantastic. Definitely picking up two or 3 of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 That skeleton is the bee's knees. AWESOME! Word. This is one nice looking set. I wonder if this British Officer will be different from the one that comes with the ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksun1520 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Damnit... now I have to spend more money! WTH :tongue: And I also have to say that the skeleton is aaaaaawesuuuuuum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Aaahhhh, so that's how Morg's hair works. I was wondering if it would be permanently attached to his head. Very nice looking set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Good eye there, Lobsterman. That's a pretty creative way to deal with that. Does anyone else think of Patrick Stewart's Gurney Halleck from Dune when they see that hair piece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Oh, that's nice. Love the skeleton. Actually, I love them all. Can anyone identify the chest straps on the British Officer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm 1:08 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Hopefully these get a 2-pack TRU release. I just want the skeleton and British Naval officer. And I like that the skeleton pirate can just be stripped into just a regular skeleton dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Impressed again with the pirate line A+ for this one (I hope one day they try an do a Jack Sparrow style pirate) The key piece for me is the skeletons hat. At last a piece that could be used with a little messing about as a hat for a Spirit of 76 custom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stack32 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Love the skeleton, also love that the swords look to be a little more realistic than the ones in the TRU wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashmaster12 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Oh, that's nice. Love the skeleton. Actually, I love them all. Can anyone identify the chest straps on the British Officer? Looks like Chloe Frazer from Uncharted's Shoulder Holster flipped backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Can anyone identify the chest straps on the British Officer? The 'chest' straps are generally known as cross belts & as far as I know were never worn by Royal Naval officers ,they were onlyworn by Royal Marine enlisted men -boringheadsmate If there is anybody here that isn't sold on these CJ'mates yet....... try'em because they're a lot of fun.

Turtle Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 The red uniform is another sign that this is a marine, right? Didn't the marines wear red and the navy blue? And I promise I won't make any jokes about your extensive knowledge of sea men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) There is a blog article posted about these, referring to them as the first ever "Navy Builder" boxset! :biggrin: Edited September 26, 2011 by youbastards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I'll be getting at least 5 of these. AWESOME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 On FB today it was revealed that McBeardy aka Beardy Mc is "The Navigator" and the McMapchest twins Tatty and Glowy are "The Cartographer." I love these pirates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 So I picked up the collector case with the glow-in-the-dark Mapchest / Cartographer pirate raider. Here's the rundown on him. Gone is the translucent green plastic from the prototype and replaced with the typical GITD plastic used with CFTBL , Slimer and Stay Puft. Also gone is the flared boot and replaced with another bare foot (looks better this way IMO). The face and chest tampos are still there and the map continues onto his back with a dotted line, a treasure chest, waves and a palm tree. That is all. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) A new Calico Jack Minimation is up, and it's cool. The only way it could be better is if it were Saturday morning, I were still in my pajamas, and I were seven again. Very fun.

Danny Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 That is superb. I like the fact that it's stop-motion. LEGO have been doing this kind of animation thing with their lines for years so it's nice to see DST try it with Calico Jack and the MAX lines.

karamazov80 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 That video is excellent. More clean and professional than I expected. Not that I think DST isn't capable of producing something like that, I'm just surprised they would devote the level of care and attention to it that they did.

Fujis Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I loved it! Very well done, hope they do more episodes. Too bad the actual ships aren't as big as they looked in the video! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
