Does anybody know what the deal is with the white band on Shipwreck V1's left wrist? Is it rope, chain, or cloth? Is it a landing pad for Polly, or is Shipwreck a secret active tennis player? Maybe concealing a ninja clan tatoo?
I never had him back in the day, and only now studying the figure for a possible new custom. Any thoughts or ideas would be helpful. Thanks! |

I've always assumed it was a wrist sweat band...OR possible he tapes his hand and wrist as a boxer or wrestler would do. Maybe its the hand he would throw a hook with in a fist fight.

Shipwreck got his hand cut off in a wild gopher accident and had to tape it back on.

Sweatband. It was the 80’s after all.
Let’s get physical! Let me hear your parrot talk!

every photo I have of my Shipwreck, he's got his parrot on the white band, so I guess that's what I thought it was for!
I got him as an adult collector, so I guess that was a decision I made. |

It is for Polly to perch on.

I always thought it was a sweat band. I also associated Shipwreck with Richard Simmons for some reason.
