Yarrr!!!
As I’ve said before (I’m sure I say this every twelve months or so), I love that time of the year when new sets are starting to show up in stores and people are beginning to use the new pieces in interesting ways. Agent oo7 has used one of the new beards in 7036 Dwarfs Mining to create an absolutely perfect Edward “Blackbeard” Teach. The old-style capes oo7 used for Blackbeard’s coat are a nice touch.

I, for one, dig the lamp just as much as the awesome figure.
Note to self: get that Dwarf set NOW.

“Absolutely perfect” is right! I didn’t even have to read the blurb, I just said “Oh look, Blackbeard!”

That damn lantern is so simple…yet so cool. It’s really one of those “now why didn’t I think of that”, kind of detail.

Nice use for those red capes.
Oh, and Happy b-day Andrew!

Wow. That’s Lego Blackbeard! That’s him! The head and the beard together are exactly how Blackbeard should look.

I can’t say it better than you did. This is absolutely perfect.

It does damage the capes a little, though, stretching them over the leg studs. (I don’t know why, but it does; I’ve tried it.)
