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.

Famous quotes containing the words action and/or figures:
“...a fixed aim furnishes us with a fixed measure, by which we can decide whether such or such an action proposed is worth trying for or not, and as aims must vary with the individual, the decisions of any two people as to the desirableness of an action may not be the same.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
“I will stand on, and continue to use, the figures I have used, because I believe they are correct. Now, I’m not going to deny that you don’t now and then slip up on something; no one bats a thousand.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
