Something I thought I'd share with you, apparently Captain Sabertooth is a character from a bunch of plays by a Terje Formoe in Norway, who has been licensed out over there, mostly aimed at children - cartoons, books, toys, y'know - and they have an action figure line. While in Norway visiting I was delighted to buy the main man himself, Sabertooth - and so you get to enjoy some of my terrible photography:
I like this bloke, he looks like a pirate version of The Joker. here's the packaging with the rest of the line, who are, sadly, less spectacular:
I was originally going to buy one of the two fat guys but then I dug through and found the Captain because - Joker Pirate. I didn't know the line was anything licensed i just thought they were cheap pirate figures ala Chap Mei, specifically they reminded me of my beloved Pirates of the High Seas from my childhood, not the Remco line - these fellows:
My lovely guide informed me of my mistake, I just thought I'd spread the word that there are cool four-inch-odd pirate figures in Norway really, if Mantech can have a thread on here, so can Captain Sabertooth was my thinking
.
PS: in my photography's defense, I had a rotten cold when i took that picture and it's hard to keep a camera still when like that (yeah, that'll do as an excuse...)
