The Islander Girl
A beauty queen of the golden age of sail, the Islander girl had quite a simple face in comparison to the other Islanders with just her lipstick coated lips, two eyes and messy hair. Although this didn’t stop the Renegade Pirates and Ironhook from – er – appreciating her company? She was only in two sets: 6256 Islander Catamaran and 6278 Enchanted Island, appearing in the latter with a quiver across her back – not quite the tame beauty, after all! She is thought to be King Kahuka’s daughter.
The Islander Boys
Led by King Kahuka, there’s not much to say about the Islander boys, because not much is known about them. They were quite secretive fellows, and they didn’t let on much. But what we do know is that they were in sets 6278 Enchanted Island, 6260 Kahuka’s Throne, 6241 Crocodile’s Cage, 1788 Pirate’s Chest, 6264 Forbidden Cove and 6256 Islander Catamaran, normally armed with spears or bow and arrows, making them essentially warriors.
The Islanders had no problems with Captain Redbeard, Broadside or Woodhouse, as the latter steered clear of them as he knew they were more skilled in battle than him, and the other two weren’t on the shelves at the time.
The Islander Prince
The Islander Boys all look the same – apart from one fellow in 6264 Forbidden Cove, who wears the same bone necklace and facepaint as King Kahuka, but not the red mask. His similarity to the Islander King, but without the regal objects – the mask, staff and crocodile-chariot – leads us to believe he is, perhaps, Kahuka’s son, the prince (and thus the brother of the Islander Girl).
Whenever more than one Islander appears in a set, Kahuka is always there to order them about. The sole exception is 6247 Forbidden Cove, implying that the Islander Prince has a measure of power over his fellow Islanders when Kahuka is not present.
