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.
The kraken in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, 2006
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.
The kraken emerges to hug the Black Pearl
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.
