Lieutenant Lesaro has a printed hat whilst Captain Salazar has the best windblown hair LEGO has made to date. Officer Magda uses the same ghostlike base as the spectre from the Collectible Minifigures Series 14. In addition Officer Santos has a printed transparent right leg. Officers Santos and Magda have the similar light grey torsos, which are similar in style to the dark tan one worn by Lieutenant Lesaro and Salazar’s dark grey one. However, I have made up for my mistake by correcting his hairdo for the rest of the images! I do have to own up to accidently putting his hair on the wrong way in the image above. Both Captain Salazar and Officer Santos have transparent heads that have suitably scary printed faces and ghost-like features. Captain Salazar has an awesome printed outfit and wears black epaulettes to complete the look. The ghost pirates are without a doubt some of the coolest minifigures I have seen for a while. The Silent Mary contains eight minifigures: Captain Jack Sparrow, Henry, Carina, Lieutenant Lesaro, Captain Salazar, Officer Magda, Officer Santos and the Silent Mary Masthead. The only other non-instructional page in the booklet is an image of what appears to be the concept art for the Silent Mary, and I imagine this is what the LEGO designers used when creating this model. The main mast can also be rotated and placed into a collapsed position, while the two ghost sharks can be deployed from the underside of the opened hull. There are a few small images at the back which demonstrate the play features in this ship the hull splits open and the bow of the ship raises up. The 263-page instruction booklet contains a short bio for each of the minifigures and an image of their respective characters from the movie. The instructions are contained within a single thick 263-page booklet. In the box are 16 bags of parts numbered 1-13 (clearly some have the same number) including a bag containing the fabric sails, which are packed with a cardboard backing to keep them in pristine condition. Admittedly, there are not many printed parts either, but I am very happy about the lack of stickers, which are always tedious to apply. Surprisingly, there are no stickers in this set. The rear image show the Silent Mary and her crew, and highlights the hinged opening of the bottom of the ship, the collapsing main mast, and some of the minifigures in action. It is worth noting the comedy annotation Ship does not float on the bottom right of the box. The front box image shows the Silent Mary’s bow opening with poor Captain Jack Sparrow and crew looking rather anxious in their little row boat, surrounded by ghost sharks. Silent Mary comes in a suitably dark and intimidating box, with no bright colours visible on this packaging aside from the LEGO logo. 4184 The Black Pearl is a bit smaller, coming in at 21” (53cm) long, 20” (50cm) tall and 5” (12cm) wide. To give you a comparison, a largest LEGO ship is 10210 Imperial Flagship, which measures 29.5” (75 cm) long and 23.6” (60 cm) tall. She’s just over 14” (36cm) wide with the main mast collapsed. The Silent Mary isn’t quite the largest ship LEGO has made, though she does impressively measure over 18” (48cm) high with the main mast in vertical position, and 26” (68cm) long and 8” (22cm) wide. LEGO 71042 Silent Mary has 2,294 parts and is due for release to LEGO VIP members on 17 March, 2017 priced at $199.99/ £179.99/ 199,99 € and is listed for ages 14+. Although the official trailer for the movie features the Silent Mary, Armando Salazar’s ghost ship, there may be some very minor spoilers below. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is the fifth installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series and is due for release on 26 May, 2017. Last month, we went to New York Toy fair to bring you the first images of 71042 Silent Mary when LEGO unveiled their latest Pirates of the Caribbean tie-in set, 71042 Silent Mary, and now we’re pleased to bring you this exclusive early review of the set.
