I first saw this pirate in a holiday flat in the Isle of Wight. I fell in love with him and was determined to buy one when I got home. He looked so gorgeous, very well made, from beautiful materials. His face, thick plait, beard etc were nothing short of charming. His red silky coat, his buckled boot, everything gorgeous. What topped the "look" off though was his golden scabbard across his shoulder and the removeable golden sword. I was thrilled to find one on Amazon - however when he arrived I was very disappointed to find that he no longer had the scabbard, and just a silver sword attached to his hand. As this was the main attraction I just couldn't keep him and had to return him. The manufacturer says they have made slight changes - WHY - and why has the picture not been updated? This toy is fine if you haven't seen the first version, but hey, hark at me, a grown woman - I should have better things to think about, ha!!!! P.S. I see the picture has now been updated!
