The Princess Bride Westley Dread Pirate Roberts 7 Action Figure with Accessories

The Dread Pirate Roberts is shrouded in mystery, known only for never sparing captives' lives. However, the truth slowly unfolds as it is revealed that the Dread Pirate Roberts is not a single individual, but rather a succession of people who take on the name and reputation, passing it on to their chosen successor. The previous Roberts, except for the chosen successor, leaves the ship at a convenient port, while the new crew is hired and the former Roberts stays on as the first mate. The constant references to "Captain Roberts" quickly establish the new Roberts' persona. Once the crew is convinced, the former Roberts departs the ship and retires with his earnings.

In the case of the latest Dread Pirate Roberts, the true identity is actually Westley, who inherited the title after the retirement of the previous Dread Pirate Roberts. Westley had developed a close bond with his predecessor after being captured during his quest to return to Buttercup and amass his fortune. In an effort to assist Westley in achieving his goal, the previous Dread Pirate thought that passing on the title would serve as a means to help him.

This incredibly detailed 7" scale figure is based on the character from the movie The Princess Bride. Designed with Ultra Articulation, it features up to 22 moving parts, allowing for a full range of posing and play. The figure depicts Westley in his Dread Pirate Roberts attire as seen in The Princess Bride, and comes with a sword and a base. It is showcased in The Princess Bride themed window box packaging. Collectors can complete their collection with all McFarlane Toys The Princess Bride 7" Action Figures and Mega Action Figures.
