KSZ No.518 Lego Pirates of The Caribbean 2nd Minifigure Series

This is the 2nd set of Pirates of The Caribbean (POTC) minifigures series by KSZ after their first release (No.515) roughly 4 months ago.






No catalogs or trading/game cards included in the box. The accessories and weapons that each of them will get is same as the picture at the back of the box.


Comparison with original Lego figure on right:

1. Captain Jack Sparrow with Tricorne and Blue Vest

2. Hadras

3. Blackbeard

4. King George's Officer 

5. Angelica

6. Scrum

7. Mermaid

8. ... and last but not least, Captain Brickbeard. He is not from POTC theme but maybe because of the Peg Leg hence the relation to this theme. I don't have the exact figure to compare. Mine is without eyepatch.

We all know that POTC is one of the End of Life (EOL) set hence the ridiculous price of all its new/used Lego set and some of the minifigures. In KSZ first release, Davy Jones is the most expensive figure while in this set, Angelica is quite pricey too but not as pricey as Davy Jones.



I expect many will get Angelica and Brickbeard from this set of 8 but i got very messed up Blackbeard :(

Imitation of Lego Pirates of The Caribbean minifigures by KSZ

I love Pirates of The Caribbean.. but I missed both of the ship (Queen Anne's Revenge and The Black Pearl) so they are both really expensive now. Was  around USD100 each but now like.. USD400? "Each".omg >_<.


source: google
However, i still have the minifigures, which is not bad, lol (trying to comfort myself). Here's my collection! There are 33 minifigures in total including complete 7 variants of Jack Sparrow. 



Uh. I only have 32 figures. I need this guy!

King George's Soldier

FYI, the most expensive guy in this set is this fella:

What???? RM250! that's about USD70. Equivalent to my lunch and dinner meal for 12 days lol!

Again, to save on shipping cost,  i don't have the box >_< but here's image that i found on aliexpress:

This is how i got 'em. Each minifigure come with a pair of trading/game cards:


Is it a trend now? Look at the baseplate. The same parts used in Disen's SWAT and Sheng Yuan's Minecraft minifigures set.


Assembled minifigures with accessories/weapon… and "pet" lol >_<

1. Bootstrap Bill


2. Davy Jones


3. Captain Jack Sparrow Skeleton


4. Will Turner


5. Joshamee Gibbs


6. Maccus


7. Gunner Zombie


8. Captain Jack Sparrow with Jacket


Minifigures without their weapon/accessories:






I'm sorry if there's too many pics in this post but I have all the original Lego (on right) to compare:









As you can see, the printing is great, but without dual sided faces. The plastic is great good too. Fitting of their hip to the torso is not as good as Sheng Yuan's, but not as bad as Di Long's SWAT. The leg assembly does not easily fall off but  KSZ might want to improve this part. 

Fitting of other parts (hair piece,head, arm and leg) is great except for Davy Jones. I've injured mine =(. so please extra careful when you assemble yours. The hole in the arm is to small for its claw =(.





There's another imitation of Pirates of the Caribbean lego figure made by Zhiao/JLB:

I'm sorry but i don't think i will review this set =(. The only figure that interest me is Blackbeard, but getting the whole set? uh uh… nope.
