The mighty 10365 Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Ship has been sailin’ for a several weeks now, and though the winds of scarcity (a.k.a stock shortages) blew across the globe, a fair number of LEGO Pirate fans still managed lay their rum stained mitts upon it.
And LEGO being a highly extensible product, fans are all too eager to incorporate their own enhancements to original design.
One such thundering upgrade stirring the brick seas be the addition of everyone’s favourite tentacled terror, the kraken…
Unleash the Kraken
In the climax of the first Pirates of the Caribbean sequel, Dead Man’s Chest, primary antagonist, Davy Jones summons his obedient beastie, the kraken to capture Jack Sparrow.
This monstrous force of nature coils itself around the Black Pearl like a serpent of doom, dragging Jack and the ship to Davy Jones’ locker in the abyss below.
This rousing scene has penetrated deep into the hearts and minds of fans throughout the (two) decades, inspiring them to create their own LEGO interpretations…

The design comes from Joshua Chawner, as seen in Hamster Productions’ legendary stop-motion video The LEGO Kraken. I am providing the piece count list for all eight arms here FOR FREE.

I actually had the opportunity to talk with Mike Psiaki, the LEGO® designer behind set 10365 Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Ship. I asked him if there was ever any discussion about including the Kraken from Dead Man’s Chest in the set. He explained that it wasn’t discussed, mostly because it would have either increased the ship’s size and price too much…

Kraken Base by hachiroku92
Tentacles be just the tip o’ the trident when it comes to cephalopod anatomy… most sport a beak sharp enough to cleave bone, but what of this here kraken?

It’s got a maw bristlin’ with hundreds death-dealin’ fangs, ready to shred hulls and hapless sailors alike!
