We're winding down our series on Pirate toys - at least until I can add to the collection.
Another fine example of how just a few applique's and some string can bring this toy out of the ordinary. It's funny how Toy Street gave the smaller ship the "HMS Shark" moniker implying that this was a ship of the Royal Navy, while the larger ship belonged to the pirates! Okay, I get it, it's a toy. So - Enjoy! Opa Fritz
The length of string provided was used for the anchor and maybe thicker string would have been more appropriate, but I was thinking, "What would a kid do once they opened the box and saw the contents?" - yeah, the kid would probably just use the string that was included - if they bothered to tie the anchor to the boat to begin with.
The applique' for the Union Jack was printed incorrectly, thereby not allowing for graphics on either side. Unfortunately I didn't have any self-adhesive printer paper to print out a mirror image and rectify the problem
Here's the sheet of applique's
The two images of the Union Jack are exact copies, if you try to place one behind the other they will not line up
This is the flipped image and how it should have been printed on the sheet
