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:
“Not rarely, and this is especially true of wives and mothers, the motive behind assuming a disproportionate share of work and responsibility is completely unselfish. We want to protect, to spare those of whom we are fond. We forget that, regardless of the motive, the results of such action are almost always destructive and unproductive.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
