Release the Pirate

PL2018-114 TBLeague Arhian Pirate action figure.

Or is that... Arrrrh-ian pirate?

The figure is based on a character that first appeared in a series of graphic novels, Arhian Huntress, between 2015 and 2017.

This was one of the first "seamless" action figures I considered purchasing about four years ago, but ultimately I didn't, and from time to time I have somewhat regretted that decision.

Recently, a member of one of the action figure forums offered this figure, new in box, for sale. He had purchased the figure new, briefly glanced inside the carton, then set it in his storage closet and completely forgot about it. Having recently rediscovered the figure, he decided it no longer fit the direction he was taking with his collection, so he offered it for sale through the forum at a very good price; for less, in fact, than the original retail price.

Unfortunately, at the time he posted the offer, my "hobby budget" was completely depleted, so I figured I would miss out. Several weeks later, having accrued some funds, I noticed that the For Sale notice had not been taken down, so I sent a message of inquiry and received a prompt reply: the figure was still available.

Now the Arrrrh-ian Pirate is here, and this is an arrival for which I feel compelled to open the carton. I feel badly that the poor unwanted thing was barely glanced at and then stashed away and completely forgotten. Soon, very soon, she will be free to wage a reign of terror across the seas!
