Action Figures
The character first appeared in the 1985 edition of the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toy series with his parrot Polly. Despite being a fairly popular character, it was not until nine years later (1994) that he received a second version of his action figure, this time revamped as a Navy SEAL. All later figures have used his status as a SEAL since. He also had a 12" edition figure produced as part of the G.I. Joe vs. Cobra line. Though Shipwreck did not appear in the G.I. Joe: Sigma Six TV series, a figure in his likeness was released.
