1/6 Hot Toys - POTC5 - Jack Sparrow Figure (Artisan Edition + Regular) Collectible Figure

[Godfather1408]

It only seems to be the artisan version which is down to the dye in the hair. Yes it's an issue hopefully they fix this by covering the heads.

The DX hats are going up in the aftermarket! DX06 hat is $119! Also I really hate the vest with printed buttons but seems like a ball ache to take off all the belts and swap it out!

I got my Artisan. Have DX06 full figure and DX15 head sculpts. Swapped all heads and wife still prefers DX06 lol. Mind the distorted images. Oh and the DX06 is small. Won’t stay on, DX15 as well. That’s why the new hat is huge. Sits better but it’s huge obviously. Others pop off almost immediately. You’d have to have something adhere to it.

Smiling faces…

Glad I missed out on spending money on an old hat then.

I asked Jaxon on fb if he can make a new hat for this.

 

[HyperDrive]

Yeah I got mine for $50. First couple days they were around $35.

If there’s a custom maker that can offer a really nice one, I’ll get that too.

The DX15 neutral face plate looks to be the best thanks to these pics @DarthAlias , maybe it’s because of the positioning of the eyes.

Thank you for the comparisons! To me the new smiling sculpt still looks like the best Jack likeness they've done, so I don't really care about the new serious sculpt.
Do you have any pictures of the DX06 hat on this figure? I have a feeling it will probably fit better in the sculpted version since that's just the DX15 hair piece being reused. I'm also waiting for @Gipetto0812 to get the figure so he can try out all the Jack hats on it, before I commit to hunting down a hat.

I didn’t take any pics as I didn’t want to press hard on the hat for fear of ruining the hair/bandana. It looks better indeed but it slides right off when you put it on. Too tight around the hair piece. I’m sure the sculpted will work better but then again the new hair piece is larger compared to DX06 hair piece.

Yes. Yes they will.




And each is destroyed in their own way.

Will has become a bum.

Elizabeth has remarried, and is happy with her new children.

They already did in DMTNT.

Jack's a bum who trades his magical compass for a bottle of rum, his best friend and crew hate him, he doesn't care about the Pearl when it seems like it's forever lost to the sea and that ship is supposed to be the thing he loves most in life. The best pirate the world has ever seen, who's supposed to come up with ingenious escape plans and always manages to trick his enemies, spends the entire movie being saved by supporting characters or being the butt of a joke. You even get an uncanny valley de-aged CGI Depp in a young Jack flashback like you do with Indy in DOD.

Will is cursed for some reason and it's implied the crew of the Dutchman don't allow him, the captain, to have his son come aboard. He is in possession of the most fearsome ship in the seas in never aids his son or former comrades when they're up against Salazar.

Elizabeth decided to ditch the Pirate Lord title and all her character development to start wearing corsets again, she doesn't even speak one word in the 1 minute she's on screen.

I think DMTNT is more enjoyable than the previous film but it is by far the one I dislike the most, because the script doesn't know what made the original Verbinski trilogy special and it doesn't understand any of the lore or characters, especially Jack.

Just spoke to a rep and they said they had received their initial batch and expect to receive and ship their entire batch by ‘Jan-March’. Lame.

I’ll go TBA next time.

TBA is great. Four days from Hong Kong to Germany. And absolutely top packaging. Sideshow is nothing compared to that.
