Here There Be Monsters!

More than a myth! The mighty Kraken roams the oceans, wreaking havoc whenever it approaches the surface. Nary a vessel encounters such a monster as the Kraken, and makes it back to shore to tell the tale! The Sea Wraith is one such unfortunate ship, having sailed to the edges of the map, and has now run into the most monstrous creature known to the seas!

Captain Brickbeard stoically raises his pistols to fire at the giant tentacle in front of him, as it raises poor Charlie the Lookout high above the decks (and raising his lunch back up as well).

A deck below, Carpenter Anne grimly faces off against the Kraken, as Cabin Boy Jim looks aghast at the chaos surrounding the ship. Henry the Swabbie desperately wields his cutlass as the ship breaks in half around him.

Amidst the rigging, Quartermaster Bartholomew hangs on for dear life as the mast has suddenly turned into a swinging mess of ropes and rigging, hoping not to fall below onto his friend Mary, Master Gunner , as she barely evades a giant tentacle sweeping across the broken bow of the Sea Wraith .

Howell the Mate dodges tumbling cannons and a newly emerging tentacle, hoping for the best as he swings his sword. Samuel the Rigger was dutifully rigging the mainsail, when the mast suddenly tumbled over, leaving him hanging over the waves!

Joyfully rowing away with not a thought for the crew in their hearts or minds, Sailing Master Charlotte and Banana Jack the Boatswain escape to safety in the lone dory, as the gigantic sea monster drags their ship into the abyss.

Inspiration:

Growing up in coastal Massachusetts, tales of pirates and the ocean have always been a part of my life. Seeing those old paintings and engravings of sea monsters, specifically the Kraken, from the days of sail always took my breath away and inspired me. Giant tentacles reaching out of the waves, pulling down entire ships below, and not to mention the stories of Jules Verne!

Features & Updates:

Sink or Swim: This updated version now includes the bow of the ship, and you can put it back together! Remove the mounted bow and stern, and put them together into one undamaged vessel. No assembly or disassembly required. Simply remove each section from the mounts on the base, and click the halves together!
Moveable tentacles: Incorporating ball and socket hinges, each of the eight tentacles can be manipulated any way you like, making the entire model that much more alive.
Raise the Anchor: Turn the windlass below decks to raise or lower the anchor. The chain will wrap or unwrap itself, allowing the anchor to be pulled in or let loose.
Picture Frame: Updating the original "water" baseplate, this new version sits in a black picture frame, as an homage to the very paintings that inspired the model itself.
Modular Decks: Remove the top section of both the bow and stern to access the lower decks below. Simply disconnect the string between the main masts, and the string attached to the bow, to easily access the detailed decks underneath.
Batten Down the Hatches: Open the hatch on the main deck to climb below! The lower deck features six cannons, a neatly stacked pile of cannon balls, a hoard of treasure, a working windlass, and two bunks in the stern.
Mess Hall: Below the ship's wheel, is a fully stocked mess hall! Food, drinks, maps, coins, everything a pirate needs.
A Full Crew: Eleven minifigures are included, serving all the needed positions on an 18th century sailing ship. Plus, a parrot and a monkey!
