I need help!

[Saint553]

Hey folks-

Everyone's favorite Saint is here needing some help.

There is a Pirates of the Carribean figure out of Captain Jack Sparrow. It's an amazing figure, better than ones you can find at walmart, target, or TRU. So good that you can only find it at a Disney Store. It's got semi-ML articulation as it does have several ball joints. There's two versions, Cannibal Island Jack and regular Jack. I cannot find a regular Jack figure anywhere, online or at a Disney Store, for a decent price. So, can you guys help me out? If you find one, let me know. We'll work something out through trade or payment.

It looks like this:

Got your voicemail from earlier bro. Sorry, I was asleep up until 5pm so I wasn't awake to answer. As for Disney stores there was one at the mall closest to me (well, there's a mall in between me and that mall but it sucks) but it closed about 2-3 yrs ago. I think the nearest Disney store is the one at the Galleria which is in downtown Houston and a mall I never go to simply because its a fancy smancy type mall. I can call and ask if they have any though.

I can check my Disney Store.

So wait.....there are 3 different officially licensed action figure serieses based off of POTC?

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

I guess. There's the Disney ones, the NECA ones and whoever made the ones at WM and Targets so I guess that is three, unless the same company making the Disney line is making the mass marketed line at WMs and Targets.

 

[Saint553]

I don't know who is making the Disney line I'm looking for. I've seen most of them, they are really excellent looking figures. They'd probably fit in really well with most 6" collections. Toyfare lists the company as "Disney". The other two manufacturers are Zizzle and NECA. I don't know who's making this one. But it's awesome, whatever it is. Elizabeth Swann looks great, I almost bought her today.

 

[Saint553]

But please check your disney stores! I crave this figure!

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

I'll call the one in Houston and see what they have.

 

[Saint553]

It was weird. Worse than ML. My disney store had probably at least 100+ of these PotC figures. Tons of 'em, maybe 150. But not a single one of the regular Captain Jack.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

He's definitely in demand. I'm gonna get a NECA one personally, but thats because of my movie figs i have already. Most are either NECA or McFarlane or Mezco

 

[Saint553]

I have a movie one. But I get this great feeling that since Captain Jack is like the Wolverine of Pirates (for Disney), I'd throw him in with my Avengers.

I'd like to se the reaction to that statement by the hardcore Wolvie lovers.

I'm sure they'd disagree.
