Collectibility
Extremely High - Considered a 'grail' figure for Pirate and Movie collectors due to the popularity of the IP and the figure's unique parts
History
Released during the peak of the LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean line; discontinued when the license expired with no modern remake
Interesting Facts
The 'face' shown in the image is actually the inner head that fits inside the large tentacle mold; used to give the character 'eyes' through the mask holes
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a custom 'Flying Dutchman' MOC or in a UV-protected acrylic case alongside Jack Sparrow and the Kraken
Modification Potential
Low - the parts are so specific to Davy Jones that they are rarely used for anything other than this character
Overall Assessment
A masterpiece of LEGO engineering and character design; the high price reflects its iconic status and lack of availability for over a decade
