Sinister Island - Bricklink 910038

The ominous island is the dreaded base of the dreaded Captain Mutton Chops and his motley crew. The skull's signature is the final warning to foolish travelers that they have ventured too far into dangerous waters and their first and last encounter with the legendary pirate captain awaits. The island is shrouded in mystery. There are rumors of mysterious treasure, wild sea monsters and ancient ruins of a lost civilization. However, the pirate crew feels right at home here, with strong defenses, luxurious captain's quarters, a well-stocked galley and an overflowing treasure store. But the real surprise of the island is that it never appears the same twice. The surrounding islets seem to be constantly changing and are connected by numerous bridges and crossings. This makes it impossible to accurately describe the Mutton Chops hideout as each witness saw a different version. The verticality of the islet itself is also incredibly intimidating and gives the monument a real presence. Getting from the landing pier to the top of the ancient lookout is a considerable hike, during which many surrounding islets are gradually conquered. However, there is a spectacular shortcut in store for crew members. A barred gate at the mouth of the skull is mechanized to open on demand to allow direct access to the core of the base. Truly, Sinister Island is a fortress worthy of the great Captain Mutton Chops! Includes 5 minifigures.
