Great new Atlantis minifig Head!

[legolooney]

As i'm sure many of you are aware LEGO is releasing a new water based theme called Atlantis.

I was browsing Bricklink recently and came across a marvelous head.

Some of you may know of it but i thought i'd share anyway.

[Erdbeereis]

Yes, I'm looking forward to getting one of those.

It's interesting, because it has a very similar print to the governor from the Soldiers' Fort, just with an added eyepatch.

[Forresto]

It's a pretty awesome head! I just saw the $10 sethe's in at my local target so I might use it in a pirate MOC. The facial hair could also imply a british admiral or captain.

It's a really great head for a pirate indeed:

[Skull-Mark_Ladybug]

Isn't it double printed though? So you may be limited in his potential head wear, still a good head none the less.

[AND3RSEN]

Yes that is fantastic ...one could even use the governor turned pirate story to create a new pirate captain

[David Thomsen]

This head has already been mentioned several times in the Non-pirate pirate thread...

When I first saw it ages ago I thought it was almost certainly a sign that they intended to continue the pirates line... but then I found out it was double sided and it won't work with any of the pirate hats. It's a shame.

Still, if you're photographing an MOC from a particular angle you could make it work, or if you used PhotoShop to blank one side of the head.

[Captain Blackmoor]

I love that head, I need to get a few!

Great find!

But what is a pirate doing in the Atlantis Theme? Defending his shipwreck?

[Admiral Croissant]

Great head! I want one of those too! Hopefully the Atlantis theme has more interesting pirate stuff

This is promising...

[SlyOwl]

A lot of the other Atlantis figs seem to be good for pirate MOCing - dare I mention it, fantasy creatures!

Davy Jone's crew could get quite a bolstering with all the new molds.

[curtisrlee]

Oh yes, this one. But I never thought there bas a backside!

[Captain Blackmoor]

Are there also new weeds and underwater plants among the new molds?

A Davy Jones Crew is always useful to have.

Perhaps I should keep a better eye on the Atlantis theme then.

[Big Cam]

yes but how often to you take pictures from behind, or play from behind, if you're only playing you can surely ignore it.

This head is PERFECT for Solidus from MGS2:

And what be that mate?

[Captain Green Hair]

Oh great find, I must have 2 of those!

(I always get 2 of everything, for when 1 goes missing)

[UsernameMDM]

Yep, that is the minifig head for the Capt of The Sable Specter.

Glad u like it, they are going for about $5 on Bricklink <-- link

[Captain Blackmoor]

That is quite expensive for a head though. But I really want one or more of 'em.

Indeed, especially since the head comes in a $10 set.

Yeah now I'd better get 10 sets and sell 8 heads for 5$ on BL.

Wow, those Bricklink guys sure know how to make money... :pir-skull:

The price will be driven down when there are more than two for sale. These are just trying to catch people who need it NOW and don't understand the basic rules of commerce.

[Jack Bricker]

I love that head. It would go great with my collection. Just Kidding. That would make a great sea admiral head or an older relative to captain brickbeard.

[Capt. Brickbeard]

I like this head very much. Here is a picture from the complete figure:
