Guide to the Pirate Mini-Figures - The Complete Series

[Mister Phes]

Here is an article series @TalonCard and I worked on back in the late 2000's.

The design seems a bit dated now but the content is still entertaining enough.

Part I - Pirates

Part II - Soldiers

Part III - Imperial Guards

Part IV - Islanders

Part V - Imperial Armada (incomplete)

 

Now tell us what you think of it!

Good read, and nicely written and designed. Thanks for the effort. Now where can I get me one of them ladies!! Bricklink ahoy!

[BlueBard]

As wonderful as the rest of the guides! *y* I hope the Armada guide will come soon! *sweet*

[Bonaparte]

It's very well written, the layout and graphics are just amazing.

It is hard to believe this is fan created. Looks like professional work.

[Shoc]

Great!

Ah, it brings back old memories - my first Lego set that had minifigs was the one with Kahuka and the islander girl in their boat. ;-)

I wish I had more islander sets than just that one...

*skull*

[QuartermasterRobert]

On the subject of Kahuka (and son?)'s red lining, I am FAIRLY sure that it is a sort of sash-belt.

Very good read, Phes. Wouldn't have known about Kahuka Jr. otherwise.

[Mister Phes]

Actually Kahuka Junior was TalonCard's conception.

Even though I wrote most of the article he was the one who introduced the mini-figures. Which is why it would be very good if he came back and did the same for Part V X-D

[Sir Norman Ray]

I've loved this series throughout its span. Keep up the great work! :-D

[Mister Phes]

Unfortunately the response to Part IV hasn't been as good as the previous three, so we probably won't be seeing Part V in April. There are definitely plans for it, but as there doesn't seem to be a huge demand for Part IV then Part V might not appear till June.

Thank you for your kind words Lord Bonaparte, but the layout could use a lot of improvement and some of the images are grainy and downright horrible.

[-OSPREY-]

i think is is quite good, i expect a lot more of the armada next time!

[Admiral Blockbeard]

it be a great shame to hear we will be waiting so long for part V, i would say the 'lack of response' is due to the faction and not your excellent work. I have been a fan of the series since i first saw it!

i had my suspisions your were a perfectionist but this proves it. From what i saw of this edition, pride should be the only thing felt about it! no reservations, it must be said again! great job!

[Captain Zuloo]

Ha! Grea work. All the others are awsome too. I don't know about those black curves though. A bit sus but hey.

Good work.

Regards, Captain Zuloo :-D

Talon card did a good job introducing the minifigures. *y*

Everyone who contributed to this M-F guide did a great job. *sweet*

I'm looking forward to more of them.

Go islanders! ;-) :-D

Hmm, I was looking through the Pirate Index and thought these guides might be interesting reading. Unfortunately, it turns out all the links lead to a dead end! Any chance of restoring them (for the other parts as well)?

Yes, these articles are fantastic literature and very entertaining. I have restored the links for all articles. Enjoy!

[BrickPerfection]

Thanks a lot. Now I have to see if the presentation is as good as everybody said

EDIT: Hmm I get an incomplete presentation.. is that related to a newer Adobe Reader?

On my PC I get the complete version (9 pages). Try right click on the link and save the file to your PC. Next open it from your PC. Does that work for you?

We want V part! Imperial armada figures are so rare, that will be too shame to don't see the end of the great saga of Classic Pirates figures! I hope isn't too late...

It exists, but it is not finished...

[Captain Becker]

[lt.Gonville brickhead]

Loved it!!! The layout,graphics and overall presentation are great.

[nix7385]

Yes, and sense of humor also great, that make whole thing much more interesting for reading. Actually I'm surprised cos' didn't expect that is so much expectations for V part of Guide: there are many people also can't wait for it, especially because it has been a long time after last part. Please, complete it...
