New sail from the Disney train: Also the new Lego BTS set will have the classic small palm leaves in lime green:

my post was moved here but makes no sense now, so I'm deleting it

Totally not interested in this kind of big figures, meh 👎

I clicked the wrong quote button, was meant to reply to this: :)

wow. do you have any photos of the original design?

Totally loving this, I've just voted for it too :)

Welcome, I love your MOCs, I’ve seen them all on Fb but tbh this forum is so much better to archive stuff like this, so I’m happy you joined us here :) What’s your fav set you created out of the ones you presented above?

I guess this could work as a epaulette-like piece that's dual molded with the mini-parrot attached to it. I doubt attaching the exisitng parrots would work when taking into the account the size of the head + hair/or hat piece.

Yes

A bit of a long read, but very informative: https://csphistorical.com/2015/07/07/a-sailors-possessions/ Came across this wholesome article when researching for this thread: What elements/accessories from the pirates lore you’d like to see in future CMF series?

Thank you so much! Can someone help me ID the two torsos from the photo below (the barman with brown vest and the green torso on the right)

Wow, I did NOT know that this set existed. Blacktron 2 Aerial Intruder (set 6981) was my childhood fav, looks like it was based or inspired by this one. Fantastic! As for me - my fav theme growing up was probably Space and Pirates. Also I really loved the Aquazone and Time Cruisers themes, but that was towards my early teenage years when Lego was not supposed to be "cool" for a growing up kid ;) Right now, I'm rooting the most for new Pirates sets, Pirates of Barracuda Bay set made me return to Lego at 35 and was the first set I bought with my own money after a two long decades.

Holy pirate monkey! Those colours are incredible, fantastic attention to detail. Congrats, amazing set!

That was the first one I followed when I got back into Lego :) thank you for the suggestions so far!

Please share you fav IG accounts that post Pirates stuff. Especially MOCs :)

How can I find this brown slope piece on bricklink:

Absolutely incredible, I would LOVE to be able to have this as a set and build it with instruction. Not that I ever will, but the design of this set looks fantastic and it would've been a fun experience to put this together. So so well done!

Great stuff, I do wish that Lego would create a new dual-molded piece for fez, without the brick on top and with a black tassel on side

ahhh, totally forgot about the brilliant Island Warrior CMF (the only minus for me with him is lack of back printing, really odd choice for Lego): technically I should also count it as a Pirate-adjacent minifig... Close, this one, with a touch of grey in his beard: I've been saying that for ages! That torso was my fav Lego torso for years when I was a kid, such a badass with the knife tucked in there. Definitely a re-do would be most welcome!

IMHO, nostalgia aside, Scallywag Pirate is the best Lego Pirate design of all time. Lego absolutely nailed it. The updated Redbeard from the PoBB is close second, but I just love the updated take on the classic Pirates. Not a single weak element in this minifig. It'd be awesome to get new recolours of those legs, and also more tattoo variants for arms and chest (a mermaid tattoo would be awesome!)

interesting, I'm not a PoC fan, so never really considered the voodoo aspect to the Pirates' adventure. That being said I love the headgear pieces from Jack Sparrow - and would love to see them re-done in more classic pirates fashion - so brighter colours and smaller in size - the ones in PoC sets are ridiculously oversized. Also a hair piece that is bald on top and has long hair on sides would be great sort of like this dude on the right (actually both looks great for pirate models): I guess my main issue with PoC minifigs is that they have quite washed, dark and realistic colours - I like the original Lego Pirates with their more vibrant vibe. On top of that I'd love to see more diverse torsos for your 'average' sea mates, i.e. a classic green version of this torso: and some new colour variants of the bandana piece (classic green and black would be awesome)

And I’m talking anything and everything. Alternative headgear, new weapons, new or recoloured clothing, unique sea-related accessories, colour pairings for clothing that weren’t used much, new face expressions, animals, etc. so far we've had 4 pirates in the series, but I feel like there's room for more.

I feel so overwhelmed whenever I browse this sub-forum, also it seems to me like it must be really time consuming, the whole story building. Still, I do admire everyone who participates here. Maybe one day :)
