Official Hot Toys Pirates of the Caribbean Jack Sparrow DX06 Spec + Pics

[MaulFan]

That is a very nice rework to capture another side of Jack Sparrow...

began to resculpt the smirk face
its just not jack sparrow

almost spot on there. In fact I would agree that JS (or should I say depp) does have that extra cheek and he smiles just like that in most parts of the pirates movies.

...However I disagree with the notion that the original HT sculpt is not Jack. Yes, Depp's cheeks are quite prominent when he smiles, but the HT sculpt isn't smiling Jack, it's smirking Jack.

HT's is pretty subtle and much like this.

It's meant to be mostly serious with just a hint of a smile to capture that, I've won, type expression, kind of like in Curse when he spots Will up in the rafters of the blacksmith shop, just before Jack gets bounced up there too.

Your rework reminds me of this sort of expression, which would also be nice to have from HT at some point on a future Jack.

There are many faces to Sparrow, I'm not saying yours isn't him, just saying, I don't agree that the original sculpt isn't.

The real bandana looks great, I'd take the sculpted one off completely and just use real cloth, almost wish HT would have, it worked fine with the Rambo figures.

If you have the original figure completely as it came, original body and all, the DX head will look small on it, if you can get an HT slim body or the DX body, that'll help. Also, unless you get either of those bodies, you'll probably have to shave off some of the neck to put the DX head onto it, but the Slim TT necks are smaller and wouldn't need that and of course the DX body is good to go.

I was afraid that would be the case. Dang. I am really trying to limit the amount of money I spend on this project with other figures coming out. Is the head really that much smaller than the original Jack's head and will I have to shave off a lot from the original body's neck?

I don't know how much you'd have to shave off exactly, I just looked at the head with an HT neck real quick the other day seeinf if I could pop the spare face onto an HT neck and it looked liked it'd be a bit too thick.

As far as the head size, it's not like a really dramatic size difference from the old ones, but, I thought the head looked small on the old Jack all along, so to me, putting another head on that body that is smaller even by just a bit, will look even tinier on it.

Here's a few Jack pics I couldn't get uploaded last night.

Great pics. Still HT best head sculpt l think and the new 1989 Batman as well.

Maulfan, thanks for answering my questions. One last one. I am still trying to keep from having to spend anymore than I have to so I wonder if a slim body neck connector will fit on the original Jack body. I have the Iron Man Mark IV and I figure that if the neck connector that came with that figure fits on the original Jack body, then I could spare myself the trouble of buying a new body. Any idea if the neck connectors are interchangeable?

Yes, the Slim TT neck will fit on the old Jack body, just might see a slight gap between the neck and body but you can work the shirt collar to hide that.

That's great. If I can handle the head being a little too small, I may just go that route.

 

[MaulFan]

Good luck, having both of the older HT Jacks, I can definitely say, it is such an upgrade. As nice as some of the costume upgrades are, it's really the head that's leaps and bounds beyond the old figures.

Really liking all the pics with the jacket off. I had Jack displayed with it on for about month time. Time to change it up a bit. Still can't sheath the sword though. Loving the different looks you can get with this guy.

I'd like to see just one pic though in plain old daylight.

I have the same problem, by the time I get home, it's dark.

I do need to see that coat in daylight.

I took these a while back, maybe you never saw them, they're my only daylight shots so far.

@ Maul - Love yours and Rorys coat! I really Hope I can get the same results with mine when I do it.

Alter Ego shipped ours... should be coming early next week

Daylight's dark where you live. I've seen those, I've kept those for ref. Now I need more. I dare you -- dare you -- to take that bastard outside and shoot him 'round noon.

As much as it pained me to do so, I just canned my order for Jack with AE. Our wedding is later this year and with Classic Predator, 1/4 EB T-800 AND DX Indy all showing up within two months something had to give. Well.....then BanDai Japan came out with those cool Monsterarts figures.
