Hector Barbossa with Plume - 3626b Head

This Hector Barbossa minifigure, specifically with the 3626b head (printed with a ragged beard), is desirable for collectors of the Pirates of the Caribbean theme. Barbossa is a central character in the franchise, evolving from antagonist to anti-hero, making him a fan favorite. The inclusion of the plume and detailed torso printing adds to the figure's appeal.

The minifigure's value is closely tied to the popularity of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and LEGO sets. Collectors often seek this minifigure to complete their character collections or to recreate scenes from the films. Condition is always a major factor for collectors; figures in mint or near-mint condition command higher prices.

This version of Hector Barbossa appeared in only one set, the Isla De Muerta (4181-1) from 2011. This limited availability contributes to its relative rarity on the aftermarket. While not exceedingly rare, it's not as readily available as minifigures that appeared in multiple sets or were produced over several years.

Given that the set has been retired for a significant period, finding this minifigure in sealed or new condition can be challenging, further increasing its desirability among serious collectors. Its rarity is moderate compared to some exclusive or limited-edition minifigures, but it's certainly more scarce than figures appearing in numerous widely available sets.
