I gave up on the movies myself after the first sequel, which just dragged on and on in my opinion, but this sounds interesting:

Ian McShane who plays Blackbeard in the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides film, starring Johnny Depp, was at a preview for the American International Toy Fair in New York, February 13- 16, to introduce a series of toys and action figures based on the film.

There is Blackbeard’s ship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge, action figures of Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow, Penelope Cruz’s character Angelica and Geoffrey Rush’s Barbossa. And when placed under a black light, the figures transform into zombies.

I had previously heard there were Zombies in the upcoming film; not sure how to feel about that, yet. But if Captain Jack becomes a Zombie, maybe it won’t be all that bad? Maybe even Zombie friendly?

Now I’m actually interested. Good marketing on the toy, I guess. Plus the blacklight gimmick is just awesome.
