Parts:
Whole figures/swords: Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End Tae Huan (modded)
Feet- Saga Supreme Chancellor Palpatine
Blasters- custom
Pikes- G.I.Joe "Ninja Battles" playset accessories
I made 6 of them for this project.
Their blasters are custom made to look both sci-fi and pirate-ish at the same time:
2 years ago when I was initially developing "Deep Sea Danger!" I knew I wanted to have an "Asian" (Asian is in quotes because they are not really Asian, they are from another planet and just happen to resemble Asians just like Han/Luke/etc. just happen to resemble caucasians) pirate clan, but was at a loss as to how I would achieve it with so few realistically designed Asian action figures available in 1/18 scale. This past spring when the "Pirates Of The Caribbean: At Worl's End" figures hit the shelves my concerns evaporated as not only did I now have access to a couple of new Asian headsculpts, but the figures offered almost perfectly matched my visions of the characters I had designed! Aside from their sandled or bare feet, the POTC:AWE figures very closely matched what I wanted to do so minimal modifications were needed to achieve my goals. Finding 6 pairs of matching boots for the Jade Dragon Warriors was not easy though
There are more Jade Dragons on the way (as well as the Jade Dragon itself!), made from a variety of different source figures, but I thought I'd share the ones I already finished with you now.
