Lieutenant Gillette (Hawthorne Village)

Introducing Lieutenant Gillette of the Royal Navy!  A dedicated pirate hunter, he is not above acknowledging a worthy opponent.  He is a conversion of Hawthorne Village's Commodore James Norrington figure.  Gillette's arm is bent down near his waist and he is armed with a drawn sword (the blade is made with a pin).

The figure's uniform is closely copied from his appearance as Norrington's lieutenant in Pirates of the Caribbean.  Gillette's elegant blue and white uniform outshone Norrington's, so a purchase of more gold lace was in order for the proud Commodore.  Now he feels that he has a sufficient amount of gold lace to make his rank easily apparent.
