Lindberg Model kits: Jolly Roger Series: 2nd & 3rd Releases!
Lindberg welcomes 2 more 1:12 scale figure kits aboard Jolly Rogers. Because of the popularity of last year’s of the Jolly Roger Series: Hex Marks The Spot, not only will we be doing a second run but we are also releasing the next 2 in the series: Dismay Be The End and In The Pinch of Peril. Each kit portrays a skeleton pirate posed mid struggle within a beautifully detailed scene.
Abandoned by his crew and shackled to a stone, he was left as gator bait for “Dismay Be The End”. The pirate skeleton sits on a mound of sand, chained to a rock, guarding a barrel of grog. Strewn around him are bones and the remains of some creature. A hunger alligator is lunging for his leg. A rubber band powered sword chops at the furious beast. The kit sits at 5″ tall and 10″ wide. Bonus 1:1 pirate coin and medallion are included.
As the sand pulls him deeper, a giant crab is looking for a bite. He has found himself “In The Pinch of Peril”. The seconds skeleton tries to pull him free, but instead pulls his arm out of the socket. The kit sits at 6″ tall and 6″ wide. Bonus 1:1 pirate coin and medallion are included.
Lindberg Model kits: Jolly Roger Series: Hex Marks the Spot!
“Set adrift and drudges weak
Pursuit of yer gold and sapphire lot
What ye find is not what ye seek
When a HEX marks the spot.”
Emerging from the depths of the Round 2 tooling bank comes a new addition to Lindberg’s Jolly Roger Series. Hex Marks the Spot begins a haunting lineup of 1:12 scale figural kits. This memorable kit from 1972 stands 6 inches tall and 8 inches wide. It portrays a cursed pirate captain steering his “skeleton” crew in search of a deadly treasure. The all plastic assembly glue-together kit nearly snaps-together. The model is highly detailed and well sculpted, featuring realistic wood-grain and weathering on the deck and crates. The cannon features corrosion after spending years on the dicey sea. Additional details like cannon balls, a skull and bones are included to flesh out the scene. The model jumps to life when a second skeleton lunges from a crate with dagger in hand to pinpoint the location of the lost booty on the treasure map. A BONUS pirate medallion and coin are also included.
Decals include a massive skull and cross bones, treasure map, blue or yellow lantern glass, stripe detail for captain’s vest, decorative band for skull cap, royal crest for stolen crate, chest designs, multiple crests for the cannon and decorations for the ship’s wheel. The decal sheet even includes the poem above. Be sure to tell your usual retailer to reserve your copy!
