About

Oh, the pirates! Don’t we just love them?    

Admit, you have, and we are sure many times, imagined yourself standing on the quarterdeck, squinting at the vastness of the blue ocean around you through the old, brass spyglass or steering the large wood-carved wheel to lead your ship out of the imminent danger or even imagined yourself shouting “BOARD!!!” and with a sword drawn rushed into a heat of fight.

Nothing can beat that feeling of freedom and danger taking over you, all simultaneously, as the hull cuts through the waves and the wind fills the tall sail. The smell of sea and anticipation of adventures raises up in your blood. 

Buccaneers, Privateers, Corsairs, Filibusters... whatever you call them – sea wolfs or sea dogs, marauders or raiders, as soon as you hear the word “Pirate” a clear image pops into our heads.

Now, close your eyes and imagine... A hat, a vest, a pistol or a two, a sword or a dagger, messy hair or no hair at all, stubbles or a beard, perhaps even a black one... weathered faces and clothes, wooden legs, monkeys or parrots, chests of treasures and rum!    

This collection is our TRIBUTE to all the pirate stories and books that we’ve read and movies and cartoons that we’ve watched and loved so much. 

The campaign includes sixteen 75mm resin figures (1/24 scale) and TWO SECRET 75mm figures. We also included six resin busts in 1/14 scale and many additional items to create a tavern diorama, including ONE SECRET SCENE into this campaign. We also sculpted and printed alternative versions of heads and arms for most of our pirates (excluding monster pirates and ladies), which means you can assemble a pirate during a daytime or nighttime in the tavern!  

P.S.  More alternative versions of the heads, arms and other items will be available for sale from our website after we finish our campaign at the Kickstarter. You will be also able to buy separate bodies of our pirates in the case if you want to create two or more different versions of our pirates.  

 Can you make the multiple pledges on Kickstarter? 

Some prospective backers have contacted us to let us know that they would want to make several pledges, for example – to pledge for one copy of the figure for themselves and one or more to give away as a gift for their friends. It is great news, since it will help the campaign to reach its goal faster, however, Kickstarter does not allow to one person to pledge more than once in the same campaign. There are two options to overcome it:

1. Accordingly to the KS rules, backers can only choose one reward tier per pledge. You can, however, change your pledge amount and reward selection for as long as a project is live. At the end of the campaign, you would just need to indicate which figures or scenes you would like to get. 

2. Create another account with the KS under a separate email. 

Please note that you will only pay for delivery once. We will combine all required items and figures as one single parcel.

Aren't these the creators with the pirates of the Caribbean bust project where people were questioning if they had the rights?

I was thinking the same thing.

Yep, same guys.  They took the worst-offending miniatures out, renamed a couple others, but there's still a Steven Tyler pirate; a Keith Richards Pirate; as well as Orlando Bloom's, Keira Knightly's, and Naomie Harris' characters.

 

So, buyer beware.  Disney has the time and money to mess with this project if they want.

Really gorgeous, I totally love these, but wont go in on the kickstarter as I smell IP problems.

They're also offering current British royalty as add-ons.   

Not certain if that's considered completely cricket.
