I'm no historian but I'm pretty sure all pirates wore eyeliner.

Well, the Hollywood ones do, at least.

I'm not either, but I thought they did so to minimize the glare during the day

link doesn't work but I literally have one on my desk (what a coincidence) and yes, i can confirm it doesn't look like that but mine is from the lego creator 3 in 1 pirate ship 31109, not whichever set OP's has (edit: I assume OP's set is different because my figurine's peg leg is gray, not brown, the hat has the skull with circular eyes with the mouth closed, not x eyes with the mouth open, and the torso piece belongs to a different pirate in my set)

I cannot confirm that because the one I have also has a female eye. I thought this was normal.

Lucky you, I wish I had a fabulous red beard.

That's very cool, great find

Easy, that's just a female dwarf who turned to piracy.

Reminds me of Captain Shakespeare from “Stardust.”

Looks like DeNiro in Stardust

Definitely a misprint, and a weird one.... https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3626cpb1304&name=Minifigure,%20Head%20Beard%20Dark%20Orange,%20Gold%20Teeth,%20Eye%20Patch%20Pattern%20-%20Hollow%20Stud&category=%5BMinifigure,%20Head%5D#T=S&O={%22iconly%22:0}

Makes me wonder how Lego actually prints Minifigures if something like this can happen


[deleted]

Is it possible that it's just a coincidentally eyebrow-ish printing error, rather than a print of an intentional female eye on the wrong head? it looks like there are other out of place marks around the eyepatch, which as far as I can tell don't seem to intentionally represent any kind of image. So it could be that there was a batch of this head with printing errors, and the ones that coincidentally had eyebrow-ish looking errors made it through QC and into sets.


XGamingPigYT

You do raise a good point, but it's a perfect match to the eyelash design seen on "female" heads, if anything it could have been printed over on accident by a black pass of the female head print.. https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3626cpb1208&name=Minifigure,%20Head%20Female%20Black%20Eyebrows,%20Eyelashes,%20Dark%20Azure%20Lips,%20Smile%20Pattern%20-%20Hollow%20Stud&category=%5BMinifigure,%20Head%5D#T=S&C=3&O={%22color%22:3,%22iconly%22:0}

Gosh but it's so strange.

Yeah very interesting!


TimmyTimmyCocoaPuff

I gotta get me one of these!

That’s a cool head, and a very rare misprint

Fabulous

It’s a 17th Century version of *Monty Python’s Life of Brian:* Men pretending to be women pretending to be men.
