This figure has been in the back of my mind for about twenty years. I first saw Harlock on television in France in the early 1980s during a school trip. When I got home, I tried finding out about the cartoon, but in those days, there was no internet, precious few comic/collectors shops and the only two magazines of any note were Starlog and Starburst. Took me many years to finally get some information on the series, and even longer to be able to watch it.

Captain Harlock: Space Pirate:

Head: Legacy Sandstorm Han Solo (severely modified)
Body: MU Comic Pack Hawkeye
Gun/Sword belt: Star Wars (?)
Pistol: CW Boba Fett
Sword: Prince Caspian
Cape: softgoods
Shoulder piece/Collar: green stuff and cord from a curtain pull
Chair: MDF and cast skulls
Wineglass: Dollshouse with clear red acrylic inside.

Going to be setting it up on the chair as a permanent display piece.

Wow! Never thought I would see a custom of Harlock and this one does him more justice than I could have hoped for! Definitely a win! Great part choices and awesome work. I would buy him.

Wow, I never thought I 'd see a custom of him either. Great looking custom and the throne and glass are icing for accessories.

Already made a lovely pair of angels ;-) , just need to finish their pet before I post them. Thinking of making Vampire Hunter D from the anime version.

Kudos on making an obscure character into an action figure! I have heard the name before, but am totally in the dark about who he is or what his story's about, so thanks for sharing the figure with us, I think I will have to look him up!
