TomSkippy Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 So, I'm working on a pirate wall display for my building area. I have room for 56 pirate minifigures.

I don't really have many fleshys, if you would include them, make sure to comment! Also, let me know if I forgot any minifigs! Quote
Eggyslav Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 I feel like some of the CMF you listed aren't really Piratey, Like William Shakespeare, and Thespian. I'd also get rid of Mermaids and Ocean King. Also Revolutionary Soldier and Highway man seem too land-based, but generally they fit. Quote

Interesting, the thespian/Shakespeare fit pretty well next to the conquistador/Armada group. Honestly, the easiest choice might just be eliminating all the CMF figures except the scallywag pirate. That gets me right about where I need to be. Quote
Eggyslav Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) From CMF you should leave at least Scallywag Pirate, Pirate Captain, Island Warrior and the Swashbuckler, ev. Highwayman and Conquistador. Others can go. Edited February 6, 2019 by Eggyslav Quote
Tazakk Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Hey, if you dont mind me asking, is this the fig you're referring to as Don Diego? I haven't seen him listed under that name before anywhere and im curious to know where you got the name from! Edit: oh it looks like its from Soccer Mania!! Nevermind Edited February 13, 2019 by Tazakk Quote

Nevermind Funny thing, I didn’t really know where I got that from, but I was SURE that was his name: Don Diego de Lego. I found this: https://lego.fandom.com/wiki/The_Admiral Apparently there was a contest between Don Diego and Cannonball Córdoba, no winner announced. I think I read that magazine issue as a child and decided his name was Don Diego.

That’s a good list, and I like the CMF picks. Right now, I’m waiting on a couple of figures to arrive (Governor Broadside’s face and Governors Daughter), once they’re here I’ll line them up and see which don’t fit... some of the CMF may have a little more detail or different colors, maybe some from the first pirates (one of the 3 striped shirt pirates, bicorne bluecoat, or marines from CC might get cut) I think I’ve narrowed down to 62 figures, I’ll need to cut it to 56. Interesting note: Shakespeare, thespian, and conquistador go REALLY well with the Imperial Armada, I always wished that line was more fleshed out. Quote
