I love how you have him displayed in that lighted case, ShadowGuardian.
Yeah, that was pretty steep. But it did make me think about the hobby. What I should buy and how to procceed. Years back I just wanted it all. As of recently I had trimmed it to a couple of "must-have" properties. Now I've gone back to the drawing board, so to speak. I crossed off characters from my wishlist, I've scrapped hypothetical displays, I started from the beginning. Sparrow has presence and I'm looking for the same thing in all the figures I'll be buying from now on. And I'll certainly be Pre-Ordering them all; I don't want to pay double prices again. But I'm over my completionist phase. For one, it's not financially viable or easy to juggle, space-wise. And also, it's a slippery slope. First it's "completing a set", then it's "childhood nostalgia", then "teen nostalgia", then "that looks cool" and so on and so forth. It's neverending. I used to be like that with smaller scales, and comics and books too, and I'm not going to make the same mistake again.Dang! That is expensive!
That sounds great! If we had a new Davy Jones, a Barbossa, a Namor, such characters, you could make a pretty great Water-Themed lineup. Edward Kenway would fit right in there too. I wish I could do that, but as of right now all of my figures are still in their boxes. No space. One day I hope to buy some of those glass cases and build a nice "mini-museum". But I have to make sure that only the worthy few make it in; I don't want to end up with a cluttered look. I am thinking of creating a "Doom Corner" though. We all have one favourite character, and I think it'd be fan. Figures of all scales, statues, whatever. It could be fun.Then again, he's such an amazing figure and there are so many different ways to display him! I've been slowly buying diorama pieces to add to my Detolf display. Picked up a wooden rum barrel, treasure chest, and a lantern so far.
Nice pose ShadowGuardian! I might actually try that one myself. Definitely going to reconsider his smerk head sculpt!
That's a great pose!
Thanks! I was inspired by an old NECA figure and thought it was a very Jack-esque pose.
Yeah I've been torn about the coat myself. I love it on him but I like a lot of poses without the coat and hat. I might have to play around with him some. Yeah the more I look at your poses with his smerk face, the more I want to try it myself.
Very awesome pics guys! Sad that this will probably be the last Jack Sparrow figure we get as I'm pretty sure no studio will approve any Depp merch anytime soon if ever again.
you know, as long as I've had this figure since it shipped from Sideshow, I just put him back in the full gear set up. I had him in the coat and serious face at the beginning right out of the box, then switched to no coat for years and just two weeks ago I went back to the full gear and have tried the smirking face for the first time ever.
I wonder what the chances are Hot Toys revisits Sparrow the way they are Batman right now.
Inclined to agree. But Beast Kingdom is releasing a new Sparrow figure soon, just wondered if the door might somehow still be open.I think it's next to zero, considering Disney doesn't want any more Johnny Depp merchandise produced. Maybe way down the line but not anytime soon.
