This set was created as a limited set of 1500. HAVEN’T SEEN MANY OF THESE AVAILABLE NOW. The set includes: The Auctioneer and a Lass, a Pirate and Red Headed Woman, a Drunk sharpshooter, a Pillaging pirate carrying too many things, a mangy mutt holding keys to the jail, and a Skeletal Sailor. These figurines were displayed for a while in a glass curio cabinet, and then packaged up in their box and stored in a closet with other Disney collectibles. They are in excellent condition and would make a great addition to anyone’s Disney collection. Here’s a little about the set from the enclosed card included with the COA. There be plundering pirates lurking in every cover waiting to board. And that’s just the way audiences have liked it for generations. A Drunken sharp-shooter takes careful aim, and a Pillaging Pirate experiences the difficulty of wearing too many hats. A mangy mutt holds the keys to the town’s jail, while off at sea a Skeletal Saior steers toward eternity. In honor of Disneyland Park’s 50th Anniversary, Walt Disney Collectibles presents our set of six exquisitely detailed pewter miniatures based on the orignal watercolor sketches created for the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction by Disney Legend Marc Davis. NOTE: A minor thing. Underneath the lid of the box, there used to be a piece of foam inside to help keep the figurines in place. Serves the same purpose. Here’s a little about the Pirates of the Caribbean ride I found on Wikipedia. Pirates of the Caribbean is a dark ride at Disneyland, Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Park at Disneyland Paris. The ride tells the story of a band of pirates in the West Indies islands around the Caribbean Sea in the 17th and 18th centuries with the saga of their voyages, troubles, and exploits. The original version of the ride opened at the Disneyland in Anaheim, California, near Los Angeles, in 1967, and was the last ride whose construction was envisioned and personally overseen by Walt Disney, who died three months before it opened. After immense popularity, the ride was replicated six years later at the Magic Kingdom of Walt Disney World, near Orlando, Florida in 1973. Versions followed at Tokyo Disneyland in 1983, and at Disneyland Paris in 1992. Each of the initial four versions of the ride has a different façade but a similar ride experience.
