Argh! Thar Be Skeletons!

Having looked around various toy stores in town for parts for assorted TWH customs, I hit on the idea of looking in the Disney Store.

One... they still have Captain Jack Sparrow in stock - if you want him, go there. (Or wait for the rerelease with snap-together bases when the next collection from Curse Of The Black Pearl comes out, or the coatless "final battle" version... or the Dead Man's Chest version we'll see in the summer, or...)

Two... they didn't have anything like I had in mind.

Three... the Narnia figures other than the Minotaur are really cruddy - anaemic little Kinder Surprise looking things. I kinda wanted a 6"-scale White Witch. And a Mr. Tumnus, so I could saw his head off. (To make a Jake figure with an actual likeness to James McAvoy. Not because I hate fawns especially.)

Four... Disney actually have two 6-7"-scale Pirate figure lines. Besides the stormingly-good PotC line, they have a small, less detailed line of non-specific pirates. On sale for two quid.

But one of them is a Skeleton Pirate Action Figure!

In seven years, Buffy never fought a skeleton. Only Giles did.

Follow-up irritation

After posting a sort-of-review at Iron Cow (http://www.ironcowprod.com/) figure customising forum, unfairly-talented site owner Matt asked if I'd seen the Disney Store exclusive Narnia figures. Turns out that in the US Disney Stores (as opposed to here) there are 6"-scale Narnia figures, just like I was complaining about the lack of. Bugger.

No Tumnus, though, which I suppose is slightly less irritating.
