Captain Black is what happens when you take a monster truck and turn it into an action figure.
These new Monster Jam Creatures figures are made in 2020 by Spin Master Toys as part of the 1:64 scale monster trucks that they make.
Sculpt:
Captain Black is a pretty sweet looking skeleton pirate with both a hook and and an anchor for a peg-leg. It doesn’t really get any cooler than that.
Paint:
His paint applications are pretty basic with solid colors for most of the figure.

Accessories:
Captain Black does come with a 1:64 version of the Monster Truck Pirate’s Curse he was spawned from. I don’t collect mini cars so that is going straight to the store.

Size and scale:
Pirate Black stands right around the 5″ mark. This whole line is a little larger than typical 1:18 scale figures I feature here but could work as a larger type character. Similar to how I use Ninja Turtle Villains and some 2K Masters of the Universe figures.

Final thoughts:
This figure is very reminiscent to Chap Mei figures that I love. It was an easy decision to add all 3 figures of this line (so far) to my collection even if they are a little larger than I usually collect.
