MWE&D Adventures of Captain Jack: IMPOSSIBLE BEADS

[Captain Matt]

There are some things in our short mortal lives that we pirates must accept!  One of those things that I had to accept recently was the fact that if I wanted to be as SA as I could be in this, my inaugural Jack Sparrow build, the Impossible Beads were a must.  After seeing them listed by Empire for $99 I was a little hesitant, however, contemplative as to what else I may do that would be even close, other than create my own mold and casts from screen shots.  Setting the matter aside and venturing onwards, temporarily, to see what other processes and procedures I could potentially make progress on regarding this all consuming journey, I returned to ebay and was delighted to see that Empire has some of the beads listed for $49.  Not cheap, however, when one considers the specific nature of the beads in relation to ones desire for accuracy, they became an absolute necessity in my mind and I pulled to trigger!

I could not be more pleased!  

The beads arrived from Canada in a timely manner and, always the pleasure delayer, I waited until the following morning to open them up, when I could savor every moment.  

As I opened the outer package and held the bubble wrap in my hand, I could tell immediately, the quality of what I was about to unleash.  Not that weight is equal to quality, that is of course not always the case, however, there are instances, this being one of those, where I was hoping to literally feel the quality in my hands.  I think of when I recently decided to move from my Samsung Galaxy to an Apple 5C - when my pure white 5C arrived and I held it in my hands for the first time, there was just something more significant and confidence inspiring about the way it felt in my hands! Another example might be when you hold an genuine Rolex in your hands and wear it on your wrist - it just FEELS substantial!  The Empire Impossible Beads give me that same feel - a sense of quality! Aside from owning the screen used version, I don't really see another better alternative. If anyone has a finer example or option please advise.

That feeling was enhanced further as I finally opened the package and held the two beads in my hand - so small, yet so pivotal as I continue to build my genuine Kuchi piece by pain stakingly awesome piece.

Photos of said Impossible Beads made possible below!

Thank you for the info Captain Christian!

There is always room for improvement and in time I will absolutely update things to get as SA as I possibly can!

I appreciate the comparison photos, as you might have guessed, I am all about documenting the adventure! So what is the story behind the beads you offer!

Enjoy the energy in the start to your new week!

they are casted from the original.
i have 2 copies .. one came from angelicas wig OST ( no much details ...but the shape is great )
and the another one from a stunt wig ( basically almost the same wig as the hero ) ( a bit not rectangular .. but details are great )
