This figure has been in the back of my mind for about twenty years. I first saw Harlock on television in France in the early 1980s during a school trip. When I got home, I tried finding out about the cartoon, but in those days, there was no internet, precious few comic/collectors shops and the only two magazines of any note were Starlog and Starburst. Took me many years to finally get some information on the series, and even longer to be able to watch it.

Captain Harlock: Space Pirate:






Head: Legacy Sandstorm Han Solo (severely modified)
Body: MU Comic Pack Hawkeye
Gun/Sword belt: Star Wars (?)
Pistol: CW Boba Fett
Sword: Prince Caspian
Cape: softgoods
Shoulder piece/Collar: green stuff and cord from a curtain pull
Chair: MDF and cast skulls
Wineglass: Dollshouse with clear red acrylic inside.

Going to be setting it up on the chair as a permanent display piece.

I know of this cartoon, but have never seen it. None the less, this looks spot on to the character!

haha, sounds like you put it out there both physically and verbally.


Great custom. Not real familiar with the source. I do like the way the cape/cloak sits on his shoulders.

The black and red with gold trim on his shoulders is actually green stuff, just painted like the softgoods cloak.
