Picked up Jack and the Zombie from series 2. Barbossa was the same as series 1 and I already got the Gunner from the 5 pack. Blackbeard is different in that he's only wearing his waistcoat and not the tench, and he's got black versions of the puffy shirt arms that Jack, Angelica, and Gibbs had in series 1 rather than the cuffed jacket arms he had before.
Jack has his long coat and his waistcoat and belt are part of it like s1 Blackbeard. He's also got a slightly updated paint job on his face - darker eyeliner and thicker more expressive eyebrows. Here's a couple quick pics of the series 2 Blackbeard I took with my phone. I'll get some better pics of series 2 Jack and the Zombie tonight. Here's the packaged Blackbeard where you can see he's not wearing his long coat, just the waistcoat. If he had a different headsculpt I might have been all over this, but as it is I just couldn't pull the trigger. Maybe when he's cheaper. And here's the back where you can see a pic of the entire wave. Also a quick note, if you like the Lego games and Legos Target is running a promo this week where you can get the PotC4 Captain's Cabin Lego set with the purchase of the Lego:Pirates video game. It says it's good for any of the $11.99 sets, but that's the only one that's been released so far. If you get the game at TRU you get a free Lego Jack mini-figure. Also at Target if you buy any of the Blu-ray combo packs this week you get a Jakks figure for free, so if you haven't gotten those movies yet you can get 3 free figures!

And here are pics of the series 2 Jack and Zombie - sorry for the quality, my camera is out so I had to take these with my phone.
Jack: In that one you can kind of see that the belt, waistcoat, and longcoat are all one piece. Zombie:

I might pick up the zombie just to have yet another zombie.
Picked up Jack, not too impressive but better than the last series (now he has knees, YAY). Not enough tomake me want too many of the others though.

The only figure I bought was the v1 Jack Sparrow (w/o the jacket). I just wanted a JS figure. I wish I'd have collected the figures from the original movies, even though I know they aren't that great, but at least I have a JS figure now to display on my DVD shelf.

I got wave one Jack and Gibbs. They've got crap articulation, but they're cool just because of what they are. Also, is it just me, or are their arms sort of short?

I bought At World's End from Walmart using a Target ad when they were having the sale. I asked the guy if he would match the deal for the price and the action figure and he called his manager and when he hung up he yelled "match it!" like in the commericals. It was great. So I got the movie, a free movie ticket and a free Jack Sparrow figure.

Having seen the movie, I think the light up skeleton gimmick is even worse than I originally thought. Slight SPOILER if you haven't seen it. It doesn't happen in this movie. Totally pointless gimmick. These figures could have easily been in the $5-$6 range and already be sold out. I'll pick everything I want from it up on clearance.

There aren't any skeleton pirates like in Black Pearl, but there are zombie pirates. The light up feature is pure gimmick, but kids seem to like it. I could do without it altogether and would have spend more money on tooling longer arms and ball-socket shoulders.
Entertainment Earth has pics up of the next wave of deluxe figures and there's a Philip with glass coffin so I'm holding out hope that we'll see a mermaid figure before too long!
