Pirate Ship – Great Adventures By Fisher

Yarr me hearties, here be the best Pirate ship toys for Christmas! Thanks to the Pirates of the Carribbean films bringing the concept of pirates back to the fore of popular culture, there is a whole new generation of children discovering the excitement of the seven seas in movies, games and more, and so there is a big interest in pirate ship toys this Christmas. Thanks to the popularity of those films tapping into that classic fascination with all things bearded and one-eyed, toy manufacturers have created some great new toys for your young cap'ns.

So which toys are making waves for this Christmas (and how long can I go before I run out of puns?)? For a start there is the Fisher-Price Imaginext Adventures Pirate Ship, which comes with figures and accessories that will thrill any young pirate fan. The MATCHBOX Mega Rig Pirates Ship is another ideal play set, with enough features to become 30 different ships! It also comes with figures and accessories to help your kids create their own pirate adventures. It can even float on water and roll on land. Avast!

Then there is the Mattel Matchbox 360 Pop-Up Pirate Island for another exciting experience! This fantastic set includes an easy-to-open pop out island play set with accessories, which is great for using with small figures. Just snap open the case and you're ready for fun!

A more traditional toy is available in the form of the Wooden Barbarossa Pirate Ship, a beautifully made pirate ship toy with a working cannon, opening stern and a crow's nest. This goes really well with the Papo pirate figures, which are available separately.

Younger children will love the The Backyardigans Pirate Ship, featuring the famous Backyardigans characters Pablo and Uniqua. For those people interested in traditional models, how about the Lindberg 1/250 scale Blackbeard Pirate Ship for the ideal Christmas gift? The choices are legion this Christmas. For older enthusiasts there are some beautiful model kits available that are sure to bring hours of enjoyment and a long period of appreciation once completed. In addition, there are any number of classic pirate movies on DVD and Blu ray available, and even Pirate music like the notorious pirate metal band Alestorm! For lovers of screaming 'Avast!', the range of pirate ship toys are sure to shiver those timbers!
