Pirate Blue Jacket, Light Gray Legs, Brown Pirate Triangle Hat

When LEGO Pirates launched in 1989, it changed what a minifigure could be. Pirates introduced a scruffier, more characterful world filled with moustaches, beards, eyepatches, hooks, peg legs, firearms, and large sailing ships. This blue-jacketed pirate still carries the simplicity of the classic smile era, but his tricorne and seafaring uniform place him inside LEGO's first major theme built around a sustained conflict and colorful cast. He marks the transition from generic occupational figures toward the personality-rich minifigures that would dominate the 1990s and beyond.
