I wouldn't be at all surprised if the pirate theme was axed for the forseeable, BUT they're hardly going to say to someone at the Toy Fair 'Oh, don't worry, we're having a huge relaunch of the pirate theme in March 2020 but please don't tell anyone'
Btw, here is my "Michiel de Ruyter" custom. He´s more based on the movie then on the portrait I linked to.
They are about to restyle the pirate theme in Zirndorf with two new ships and a lagoon which makes me wonder.
Great custom Hadoque!
