Your favourite character from the Pirate theme

[Dreamweb]

Currently Broadside is winning here and the Clipper is winning in the favourite non-pirate ship poll... It's worth celebrating.

I rooted for the soliders because they just looked cooler. I always thought lego could make the pirates look more cool than they did. Captain Redbeard seemed pretty ineffective as a fighter with his Peg Leg and all. A worthy commander, no doubt, but he couldn't have a swordfight against any 2 legged, 2 handed Imperial officer or even a lesser pirate with both arms.

But thats just me.

I voted for Broadside. Blockhouse was a wimp, as seen in the Canadian Catalog for 1993(the year the Imperial Trading Post come out I believe) (Blockhouse is hiding (or drinking...) in one of the storage rooms as Pirates storm up the ramp)

I remember a TV commercial of Lego Pirates in which Broadside ended up in shark's jaws, a fact I didn't like - hey, it suggested the kids that Pirates should win and the good guys should die!

Anyway, the commercial was great, I'd love to see it again (I had it recorded on a videocasette for some time), any ideas where I can see it? :)

Another soldier fan. As a kid I always loved the magazine pics (they were beautiful back then) but hated the pirates always winning...

God Bless,

It was hard for me to choose between Captain Roger/ Red Beard and Captain Ironhook, but I came up with Captain Ironhook for... well, his ironhook!

King Kahuka is my choice. He´s got the coolest hat, the fanciest weapon and the most dedicated soldiers.

[Island boy]

Just a quick reminder:

Governor Broadside

Admiral Woodhouse

Captain Roger / Red Beard

Captain Ironhook

King Kahuka

(all minifigs come from my collection except for Kahuka whom I don't own so I scanned his image from 1994 catalogue)

The base for your choice may be anything you want - which of them is the most good-looking, has the best ship, is in the best sets and so on.

King kauka is the best character there is

[Zorro]

Admiral Woodhouse, seconded by Governor Broadside, thirded by king Kahuka.

I like the torso/bicorne/plume combination of Woodhouse a lot, and since I am a fan of the Napoleonic-era, I must put the Blue- and Redcoat commanders on top.

just following my conscience here...

[Shoc]

I even made a smiley of him...

Yay! The Islanders are my favourites in the Pirate theme, and King Kahuka is just so stylish!

:skull:

[Lego12]

My favorite was Captain Roger/Red Beard! He was the best! I have his legs and face, but not his torso....

[samthelegoman1]

This is probably the only commercial that has the Imperials winning!

[Voodoo Hand]

i choose Captain Roger / Red Beard. Why? he is the only one wher eu can do more with then the rest!

I actually made a German freecorps out of them.

In the napoleonic age, that is, in let's say a month I will post the pics of my completed Napoleonic army, if I received all my Bricklink order by then, that is...

[Admiral BrickFin]

Voted for Broadside, for sentimental reasons. He came in my first set: CC, still have him (still in good condition!).

[Captain Roger]

i'd like to vote to Captain Brickbeard, but isn't in the list so i vote for Roger/redbeard

I like Broadside and woodhouse too, but i like pirates more to soldiers. I don't like Ironhook so much because is less powerful than Roger and isn't as neat. About Hakuka...i have never been a huge islander subtheme fan.

[Jack Bricker]

I have to say Captain Redbeard is my favorite. I have always loved his outfit.
