I choose the Wave 1 Dollar General Shipwreck as my default version...reminds me of the JvC version. When I get this figure I will make a custom Outback for myself.

To me this is an "A" grade figure - the only minor issue is the softness of the plastic "polly perch" on his backpack, but that can be overcome by being careful when you hook the claws in. He looks great, exactly as a modern Shipwreck should be, and I like that he comes with an "FDE" colored rifle, that's a nice touch.
In my mind the original blue uniform Shipwreck is so closely associated with the buffoonish antics of the Sunbow version that this new look restores the coolness of him in my eyes. Last edited by Spacey; 08-12-2015 at 03:20 PM.. |

Is there any significance to the black armband?

That particular mold was used in other figures and had the "MP" military police identification on it.
Of course Shipwreck could be grieving. Haha

I really like this figure- my only real complaints are the gold star and black armband. A really nice take on ol' Shippy.

The Blue DG version is the best RAH shipwreck we've gotten. but the Reason I like this version is it shows shipwrecks personaity he's an operator of the highest order doesn't mean he's gonna go full Military with it. This is a guy whose bunk is a mess, he's tatted and he's probably sobering up from the weekend but put him on the ground and he's an Avatar for the gods of war.

This is my default Shipwreck. I like him as a bafoonish sailor. I didn't like the arms used on the Joe 5pack one so I used the arms from the comic pack one and modded the 5 pack hands on it.
