Would you buy minifigs of Davy Jones and his crew?

[Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn]

If someone made minifigures of Davy Jones and his crew, following the same torso/head priniple as the Chewbacca minifig, would you buy them?

[ghoulrealm]

I said yes, but before I read "someone" and in that case I would have to see it. If made by Lego I wouldn't hesitate. Otherwise I would try to make them myself, and I will do so, if I ever get back on track with my flying ducthman. I'll try some brickbuilt designs and minifig shuffling before I use clay molding though.

Clay iz vor de veak - Buy Greenstuff from Games Workshop ;)

Its a modeling putty usually used to remodel stuff on miniatures, but you can sculpt your own miniatures entirely from scratch with it. Its really great - view it here.

NO

POTC is terrible arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn]

Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl is AWESOME.

Pirates 2: Dead Mans Chest is somewhat less... Its like they were trying too hard to make it like the first, and completely overshot. Needless to say, the coolest thing about it IMHO is the way the Flying Dutchman and her crew LOOKS.

[Norrington]

NO

POTC is terrible arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

There is proof of Treason against PotC! Ready The gallows Lord Admiral Phes!

I saw a custom Davy Jones mini-figure on eBay the other day but as it didn't interest me I didn't watch the auction. That also means I voted "No" but I'm don't really understand what the "Not Really" vote means.

[Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn]

err, I misphrased that one. It meant "Probably not". Sorry!

[Mister Phes]

Would you like me to fix that?

[Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn]

Shore :)

[Mister Phes]

Ok, that has been amended but then I wonder what "Probably not" means. Does it mean most likely "No... But I'm not 100% certain of a no"?

[El Bucanero]

I rather build realistic pirate MOCs, instead of POTC MOCs, but if there were some very nice Davy Jones & crew minifigs, I might buy them...

[Mister Phes]

AAAAARGH!!! I cannot find that custom Davey Jones mini-figure I saw on eBay the other day. If only this thread were created a few days earlier I would have saved the image from the auction!

It wasn't this guy, was it?

[Norrington]

*starts humming daveys jones theme*

[Mister Phes]

Yes it was actually...

Someone should get the images from that auction into a Brickshelf Folder otherwise they'll disappear 90 days after the auction ends.

[El Bucanero]

What's the black thingy next to his mouth? I think it is supposed to be the blow thingy... But it looks like a cigaret...

[Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn]

Well, in all honesty, here be the reason why I made this here inquiring poll...

I am currently in the process of sculpting Davy Jones and most likely his crew. When I am finished I intend on molding them and putting them up for sale. Davy Jones will be in three peices - Head and beard, claw arm, claw leg. In this picture, I have yet to sculpt his hat, mutton chop tentacles, or back-of-neck octosack. I am debating making decals for his eyes or sculpting them. I think I may sculpt them.

[Norrington]

That is amazing Admiral. You should make molds once it's done, and sell it, tough instead of 3 peices, it ocul be one, pre-painted one... i know i'd buy...

Edit: I just read the est of your post about selling them. Silly me...

[Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn]

@Norrington: Hehe :P While the peices themselves would be pre-painted, I dont think I could supply the rest of the minifigure :/ Basically, im thinking just a straight black minifigure would probably do best. Also, you can see a little bit of other stuff i've painted to the left and right.

Looking at some more pictures of Jones, I think I will scrape what I have on the side of his face off and re-sculpt it so that it looks like actual cheekbones - Ill probably add a brow, too :)

Sadly, as you can see there, I really screwed up the mustache tentacles and the lower jaw. Furthermore, I think the tentacles might look better if they were thinner and spaced out further. So I may end up simply tearing all this off in the end anyway :P This is my second SERIOUS attempt at green stuff sculpting and one of my intentions in doing it is as practice for when I start working on my Golden Demon entries this year. (The Golden Demon is a very prestegious and premier miniatures painting competition)

[Norrington]

i said the wole head a peice, as in it's a mini fig head with the the hat and beard permanently attached

[ghoulrealm]

Wouldn't you like to be able to use the hat on another minifig?

[Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn]

Perhaps, but I dont think its practical.

[Col. Whipstick]

POTC 2 was horrid!!!

Yes Davy Jones and crew looked cool from some perspective but I don't think I'd buy the minifigs as I am still in mourning for how bad the film was in comparison to the first movie!

I waited months and months to watch that movie because I was too busy travelling and when I finally bought the DVD and watched it I really considered taking it back to the store to get my money back! >:-(

After seeing LA Ravensdorn custom Davy Jones, I'm sure I'l buy one!! :-P
