The Jack Sparrow DX 06 figure is virtually perfect, and the heavy panda make-up helped the Parallel Eyeball Rolling System (PERS) feature look pretty darned convincing. It is a feature that works to success on the figure.

You see Captain Jack has a tendency to like heavy kohl around his eyes; this of course works for him on many different levels as a character. Primarily it makes him look exotic and other from the rest of his scurvy crew of reprobates, but it also gives him a slightly fey edge and a very rock n roll air. These attributes translate across Jack s whole being, his sensibilities are narcissistic to say the least, and even though it is set during the golden age of Caribbean piracy (circa 1650 to 1680) it makes him just about the most perfect contemporary anti-hero for our troubled times.

The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) was an instant summer blockbuster. Its huge money making popularity lead to two rather messy, but overall entertaining, sequels that were shot back to back and released a year apart in 2006 and 2007 respectively. But when you have a cash cow this big, you just gotta go back and milk it some more. On Stranger Tides was released in 2011 and stood as Disney s third biggest earner The rumour mill was that Disney would lined up another two outings for the Captain planned.

Some previous portraits were the work of the ever-reliable Yulli Choi, but this time around we get one of Hot Toys other master sculptors Ko Jun throwing his leather tri-cornered hat into the ring, with not one but two unique facial expressions. But as the years roll by, not only do the creatives behind these releases get better and better at what they do, but the quality of manufacturing just keeps on making bigger and bolder leaps. So if you already have what you consider to be a great representation of Mr Sparrow on your shelf, is there really any need to own this one?

That first sculpt that Ko Jun worked on as a limited independent project has become a thing of 1/6th legend, changing hands for big sums of moolah. Ko Juns work on sculpted hair has always been super detailed, and here he gets a chance to really show off. There are numerous individually sculpted braids with various trinkets and beads woven into them, with the infamous reindeer shin bone now taking a more prominent position to the right of his sculpted bandana (no doubt to bring him more powerful juju). So yeah, the hair is exceptionally well done.

His second face is not so much a full smile, but more of a mischievous smirk. Both the portraits are however absolutely note perfect. Here however we get two that have set another impressive benchmark. Ko Jun s work on the skin texturing is sublime, as is the gentle detailing on the facial hair (and yes he has remembered the small burnt/scarred patch in the left hand side of the chin) and he has also tricked in the X shaped scar on the left cheek and the tiny scars in the left eyebrow.

Both heads have the PERS feature, and though firm both worked very well with gentle manipulation. To access the PERS the whole of the hair section lifts off (its held by a magnet). You can then swap over heads by popping the ball joint in or out of the neck post. It is pretty easy to swap over and no seams or division lines are visible at all.

I can t praise these two new sculpts up enough, just phenomenal work from master Ko Jun.

As you would expect all the extra hands are sculpted to the highest of standards, with all the fine detail on his jewellery, leather and other adornments represented to perfection. And of course, all importantly they can interact and hold his various accessories well.

There is also some superfine work carried out on the sculpting and tooling for the accessories. http://www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW_110411b.htm
