When I was a kid, I think Shipwreck because of his antics on the cartoon. He was a wise-@$$. Also, he was different from other characters. A sailor dude with a parrot. I remember thinking GI Joe's with animals...Shipwreck and Mutt were awesome figures because of that.
As for Quick Kick, I think it was because he was the unlikely GI Joe. Everyone was all military-based and at the time, he was just different. But by saying that, if I knew characters like Quick Kick would lead to really crazy characters and the Street Fighter line, I wouldn't dig it as much.
Also, bare in mind that during the year of Quick Kick, those of us who were kids/teens of the 80's were inundated with Kung-Fu/Super Ninja programming on television and during that time, I know a lot of my friends and school were watching these shows, Sho Kosugi "Return of the Ninja" movies and buying Ninja magazine, ninja stars and ninja outfits.
But again, that was how things were as a kid growing up in the 80's.
So, that's my opinion.
