Did Super 7 have to pay a licensing fee to make their sailor figures?

How many of you guys would be ticked if they went the way of the more modern Shipwreck and not use his navy uniform from his original run? What if they included polly but used the more modern version?

Shipwreck will be a real interesting decision for the design team - go completely faithful to the original, or the updated sweater/cap look? I suppose both are possible, but personally as much as I love OG Shipwreck, I could do without the sailor cap/bell bottoms look for Classified.

Good question. Does the Navy own the patent design of the cap? Patents can only be renewed so many times but the govt may have different rules for themselves. If there are no insignias, they might not have to pay for licensing on a plain wardrobe.

The issue isn't IF we'll get a Shipwreck figure, but WHEN. In my informal poll of characters that fans most want to see in Classified Series Shipwreck is by far and away the most wanted figure that fans want to see in the line.
The proper question ask isn't whether we're going to get Shipwreck, but what version of Shipwreck will we get? A minority of us (myself included,) want to see the first version of Shipwreck released as a modern update of the figure because v1 Shipwreck is in a dated Navy working uniform from the 80's that is no longer in service. Then there's the issue of the licensing fee and Hasbro still shying away from having the JOEs be U.S. military. In the case of Shipwreck he is undoubtedly a petty officer in the U.S. Navy and does Hasbro have pay the Navy a licensing fee to in order get v1 inspired Shipwreck in Classified. Arguments that Hasbro doesn't have to pay a licensing fee because the Navy doesn't use that uniform anymore and it's a public domain type of situation or the argument can be made that you can't you trademark a blue shirt and dungarees. As Valaverse and Hasbro have shown with the Marine utility cover as long as the cover doesn't have an E. G. A. on it you can put out an eight pointed cap and not pay a licensing fee. The thing is with the Dixie cup cap that cap is probably the most recognizable part of the seaman's uniform and is synonymous with the Navy. I'm going to guess that in order for Hasbro to use Dixie cup cap they're going to have to pay the licensing fee to the Navy and maybe they decided to do so in regards to Shipwreck |

I think a Classified Shipwreck would be stellar. As an original look in the 'supwr secret' packaging style would be nice.
But I would also be OK with Resolute-styled Shipwreck. Also, as part of the O-Ring series. |

I would prefer an updated version to a scaled up rerelease of v1.

Leaving Shipwreck off the roster is unthinkable. He and Tunnel Rat are as common to the Joes as Roadblock and Gung-Ho and more likely than Bazooka, Alpine, and Quick-Kick (regrettably). He probably guarantees a Classified Cover Girl, too. |
