It well could be. For those that wonder what he's doing on a camel, he's pictured next to what looks like Dastan from PoP in another pic on fbtb, unless there's something with camels I missed in the movies.

Lego having PoC sets does seem to fit very neatly with Lego stopping the pirates line after just one year as they and Disney wouldn't want the two competing against each other. The Jack Sparrow fig looks very impressive.

I think everyone expected this to come. What I don't get to understand is what happened to the other figures. Just typing that made me anxious to see Davy Jones!

[CallMePie]

Not surprising.

Oh come on, you hardcore Pirate fans couldn't deny it. It fit in perfectly. It had to come at one time or another. I think we've come to both Prince of Persia and Pirate's replacement.

Nice-looking Jack.

I think the hair/hat will look amazing when it is finished product and the belt is printed so I would assume this is official.

I hope not... I really like the classic pirates stuff, especially the line from 88-97. If POTC is produced, I think that it could be the end of classic pirates. Plus, I feel like Lego has covered anything they can think of piratey, I almost feel like we would be paying premium dollar for some new figs and different colored pieces.

Also, that looks custom to me. The hair and hat don't look like plastic, but a mold instead but who knows. I guess we will find out! Either way it will all be very interesting and honestly I think it would sell very vey well.

The hat has the look of all the new molds before they're finalised, I remember the camels from the PoP line had this look when the first pics came out. For me this is stronger evidence that it's not a custom or fake.

It looks like the same plastic that the camel and ostrich looked like when Prince of Persia was first announced.

Yep, my thoughts exactly. Maybe they're made by a 3D printer? The torso and face, on the other hand, look printed.



I'll be surprised if they don't do PotC next year... They might continue Toy Story and Cars if they've been selling well, but Prince of Persia is done for sure. So next year's big movie license is bound to be PotC.

Interesting find !
Now what next eh ?
TRON ?
I guess we will have to wait and see eh ?
Keep on bricking !

That Jack minifig is sweet! Nicely printed torso and highly-detailed hair/hairpiece. From a general lego fan's standpoint, I hope they do release this new theme. And from the looks of the minifig, it does pretty much point in that direction.

Praise the lord! I love everything! ;D

Yup. I knew this was gonna happen as soon as they discontinued the Pirates line and rumors of a PotC theme started popping up. That Jack fig looks great. It really looks the part. His hat and hair seem to be one piece, so it's probably one of those painted, separately bagged Chinese parts. Can't wait to see other figs and of course the sets!

It does look like one piece, which I'm not really a fan of. I still prefer detachable hats and hairpieces. Sadly, that's the compromise of highly-detailed heads.

[Oky Wan Kenobi]

Yeah, unfortunately. But just like with Toy Story, I prefer it this way.

Do you think we'll get a new, smaller compass piece? Or will it just be a printed 1x1 tile? How about new, more accurate guns?
