LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean Minifigures - Jack Sparrow


Captain Jack Sparrow will be appearing in all of the upcoming LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean sets due in May...and then some. We will refer to this version as 'Jack Sparrow', but he comes in several variants including 'Cannibal Jack' and 'Undead Jack'.

This regular version of Jack Sparrow is exclusive to the sets The Mill (4183), The Captain's Cabin (4191), and Aqua de Vida (4192). 'Cannibal Jack' can be found in set 4182, Cannibal Escape, while 'Undead Jack' can be found in set 4181, Isla de Meurta.

Parts and Accessories
Jack Sparrow is composed of four parts - hair piece, head, torso, and legs.

The hair piece is black and features print for a red bandanna and various trinkets in Jack's hair. This is a new part for the LEGO universe.

The heads are where many of the Captain Jack minifigures are differentiated. As with many of the licensed themes the head color is light flesh. It is also expect that the heads are dual-sided. The head for the figure is features a 'smirk' and is shown above.

The 'cannibal' head features Jack with tribal paint on his face. The expression shown here is panicked but I've seen another for this figure.

The 'undead' head has one side which is normal and the other which is all white to represent a skull.

The torso is some shade of blue and arms are white with light flesh hands. The print on the torso resembles Jack's vest with the addition of belts and a striped sash. It is not known if there will be back printing on the torso.

The legs and hips are reddish brown with print continuing the vest and sash design that began on the torso.

The accessory shown with this figure is the standard Pirate cutlass in light blueish gray that has appeared in LEGO Pirates sets for some time.

LEGO.com Bio
Jack Sparrow is dueling to the death for the key to the Dead Man’s Chest. He’ll have to be sneakier than ever to clench control of that key and make a break for it before the other pirates have him in pieces.

Army Building Potential
The ABP for this minifigure is low. There is only one Captain Jack...

The Big Draw
Aside from the figure as a whole, the torso and leg print combo will be desirable for Pirate fans.

The various dual-sided heads will also be fun additions to anyone's collection.
