This product does provide some figures from an area that tends to be lacking in quality figures and does come up with providing some nice artwork for a few figures. That being said, please beware about what you are paying for.
There are actually only 7 figures provided totalling 41 pirates on 4 sheets of cardstock. They include a Captain with a hook and red beard standing with one foot on a treasure chest as seen on the cover like Captain Morgan advertisements and 5 of these figures are in a variety of colored clothes and two are also reversed.
A second figure is the peglegged pirate with the parrot also on the cover and there are 8 versions of him with a variety of colored clothes, different weapons and reversed poses.
A third pirate is the figure on the cover hanging on the rope in 5 versions of different clothes, weapons and reversed.
A 4th pirate is digging a hole in the sand and has 4 versions of clothes, 2 are reversed.
A 5th pirate is from the barbary coast with a harpoon, there are 4 versions, one with a chest and one with a shield and both reversed with different colored clothes.
A 6th pirate is standing and firing either a matchlock or blunderbuss and their are 5 versions of him in different colored clothes and reversed.
The 7th Pirate has 10 versions with different weapons, clothes and reversed. And 2 of them are even carrying pirate flags. The nice thing is that 8 different additional flags are provided that you could glue over these to create different pirate groups.
Other extras include 5 shields, a large flag on a stand, 4 signs, 2 chests, and 1 set of 3 barrels. these are all flat with both front and back standing up like the figures, not the same as 3d props from other suppliers.
These are all printed on 4 sheets and the props are intermixed with the figures so you have to use 4 sheets of cardstock to get all the figures.
Although the artwork is very nice, I find that for the same price I can get a lot more variation of figures with the Disposable Heroes sets 24 and 26 from Precis Intermedia and I personally prefer those.
However, If this is what you want or you already have some Pirates and need more and you don't mind what seems to be a higher price for what you're getting then this is still a very nice set to get.
