Pirates of the Caribbean: Jack Sparrow Statue

In the recent Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End movie, Jack Sparrow resides in Davy Jones' Locker and finds himself aboard the Black Pearl. The ship is lousy with Jack's imaginary crewmembers that are carbon copies of... himself. Jack shoots one doppleganger in order to obtain a morsel of food and barks out orders to his hallucinations. Jack eventually swings off the boat but instead of being enveloped by the salty sea, he's lands on hard baked ground. Scuttling crabs later appear en masse and heft the Black Pearl to the ocean where Jack is reunited with his compatriots.
Japanese manufacturer
Wecle Ats Inc has started preorders for a Jack Sparrow resin figure which measures 1 meter x 70 cm x 1.9 meters in dimension. That's 38.37 x 27.55 x 74.80" which means it'll ship in a box that can accommodate a medium-size refrigerator. The statue depicts Jack in a sort of reverie that's reminiscent of his hallucination-filled episode aboard the Black Pearl. Preorders are welcome today to ship in September 2007 at JPY180,000 per statue or US$1600 from NCS.
