Female Pirate: High Seas Elizabeth Swann


Whoever said that the deadliest pirates were men?  Evidently they never met High Seas Elizabeth Swann.

The characters in the various Pirates Of The Caribbean movies often wear elaborate period costumes.  The attention to detail is amazing.

That’s just as true with Tonner’s High Seas Elizabeth Swann figure.

The Elizabeth Swan figure comes packaged in the standard Tonner white shipping box.  It’s what’s inside that makes it special.

Instead of a plain interior box a special Pirates Of The Caribbean themed box.  The entire front slip of the box has a screened back image of a pirate ship’s sails and tackle.  The Pirates Of The Caribbean logo is also predominant.

Inside the figure is held in place by silk bows and a white fish net protects her hair.

Accessories such as shoes, hat, etc. are in separate seamed clear plastic bags secured to the sides of the interior of the box with staples.  Two silica gel packs accompany the figure to protect against moisture.

An interior box within a box allows tissue paper to wraparound the inner box and lay over the figure and accessories.

The articulated figure stands about 17 inches tall.  

The face is gorgeous with a smooth complexion, soft features, big brown eyes, a small nose and full pink lips.

Cascading down her back are long light brown tresses of hair, although synthetic, looks absolutely real.

The figure has small hands and feet and comes dressed in an amazing wardrobe.

Elizabeth wears a white long collar undershirt behind a full button down vest of brown with light brown circular cross symbols and dark and light brown small crisscross decorations.

Over the vest she wears a long brown coat with huge pockets, light brown piping own the front and 16 oversize brass button decorating the piping.

The coat reaches to her knees.

She wears dark brown trousers with buttons and included with the figure is a pair of brown buccaneer boots made of faux leather.

Also included is a tri-point pirate’s hat (also of faux leather) that is lined with white fabric.

A brown leather belt with a large buckle is included along with a stand with wire support for displaying the figure.

A silver saber with a loop handle finishes the ensemble.

The entire figure, with cloths, looks stunning and screams quality.  Nicely done Tonner.
