Roebuck Posted August 30, 2018 Captain Redbeard got most votes in "What is your favourite minifigure?" over at Brickset https://brickset.com/article/38142/what-is-your-favourite-minifigure-results I still remember when the pirates set came out when I was a kid, completely different face, peg leg and a hook; "That's one small step for minifig, one giant leap for Lego!"

TeriXeri Posted September 10, 2018 I never got the Redbeard figure but I did get Captain Ironhook (Islanders theme), that's very similar aside from a more ragged red shirt torso. But Redbeard has been very memorable on the Catalogs of the 1989 and the 90s for me back then as a kid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Magma Posted September 11, 2018 That's no huge surprise to me! He's a very iconic LEGO character and still a very nice minifigure to this day. I also like seeing Johnny Thunder beat out Indy, sometimes licensed themes simply deserve a whooping... Nothing against them - quite the opposite - but original themes and characters should be at the top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laura Beinbrech Posted September 17, 2018 I could believe it! Captain Redbeard was one of the 4 or so minifigs I kept when I gave away most of my LEGO during my only real dark age during high school, and I still have that very minifig: As a matter of fact, he's the current President of the Federal Republic of America (the main good-aligned faction in my setting... It's a long story). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
