So I excitedly scooped up three Pirate Girls yesterday at Walmart. (Even better, they rung up at $1.22 each, I don't know, maybe Corona Virus Discount or something) I was REAL excited to get the new Hat with hair attached to it so my pirate with Tri-Cornered hats looked less bald. Here it is:
It really is a great piece and I am happy to have it. As i tried it around on many of my Pirate Minifigs I found it was not exactly great in a few nitpicky ways.
1. It is primarily made as Woman hair so it sweeps back on the sides with no sideburns, or sideburn nubs, Rey from star Wars oddly had sideburn bumps. ManyPirate minis have sideburns or beard printed and there tends to be some gaps between Hair and printing. Obviously they can't make a piece today and have it match every Minifig Face ever made.
2. The hair color is light brown, not Blonde, It is the same color as Thor from Endgame. There are, as you can see from pics, Pirate who have the right brownish printed beards and stubble to match OK, but it turns out in my collection there are more Black eye brows, or black facial hair.
In my own head and not supported by History or anything is how i view my Lego Pirates. I see the tank top dudes and lesser, or poor pirates, The Captains always have real ornate outfits and there are some mid-level priates, I usually try to have tank top pirates in Bandanas and use the TriCorner hats for the more advanced Pirates. Within the Soldiers realms the tricorner hat was a rank above Private like all the shako hat Soldiers. As in the pic, this piece does look good on soldiers.
I can't wait to get my Pirates of Barracuda Bay and I get the Brown TriCorn with Blonde hair. It looks like same color hair but variety is always good.
Do you have this piece yet? Do you like it? Am I the crazy one?
