Skull Island is part of the Pirates I line, where pirate crews and Imperial Guard soldiers share a seaborne setting. Set 6279 provides an island location rather than a main vessel, giving the theme a fixed place for encounters, escapes and faction conflict.

The minifigures are Pirate - Blue Jacket, Light Gray Legs, Black Tricorne, Officer (Imperial Guard) - Yellow Epaulettes, Soldier (Imperial Guard) - Blue Epaulettes, Pirate - Blue Stripes, Black Legs, Red Bandana, Pirate - Red/Black Stripes, Blue Legs, Black Tricorne and Pirate - Captain, Light Gray Hook, Bicorne with Skull, 3626b.
