This Shipwreck is what I call “For the customizers.” This is the same Shipwreck we’ve gotten before just in a different color and with new accessories now. The skin tone is the color of the plastic now and not painted on. Rather than having more Shark and Anchor tattoo variants, Shipwreck now has a tat that’s more like his original one of and anchor with a sea serpent wrapped around it.
The accessories are really what makes this figure worth buying. The removable life vest is pretty cool, but better used for a Cutter custom. He also has a hook and line that’s similar to what the original figure came with. I feel this should have been included with the first Shipwreck they made. Shipwreck is packaged with a pistol, Polly, Removable Vest, Hook and Line and a GI Joe Stand Figure Rating: 6 out of 10 Pictures by Eopie Herder Last edited by Shogi; 08-31-2011 at 06:14 PM.. |

Copperhead uses the same torso and arms as Roadblock, but has new legs and a new head. The addition of a belt and shoulder harness makes this figure look just like the original Copperhead.
The legs have a brown wash painted on to make them look dirty. This doesn’t really bother me too much since he’s usually in the swamps anyway. The right hand is a bit off being cocked upwards slightly. It’s not too noticeable in some poses. I‘ve never really been bothered by the wide open left hand as it’s a perfect fit to appear he had his thumb in his belt (Like a gunslinger) and it works in many other settings. Copperhead comes with a Pistol, a Rifle and a Cobra stand. This is a great figure that gives us another classic character in the 25th Anniversary style Figure Rating: 8 out of 10 Pictures by Eopie Herder Last edited by Shogi; 08-31-2011 at 06:14 PM.. |

I agree on the Shipwreck. If I could do customs, I'd definitely make him a Cutter. Like you said, the accessories are what makes this figure.
But I can't agree with you on the hands for Copperhead. I haven't liked Roadblock's torso and arms since the first figure. His right hand angle makes some poses look awkward and the wide left hand was more suited for Roadblock's huge gun. Just doesn't look right on this figure. Those are the only gripes I really have, though. Another excellent review, man.

I always thought CH's head could have been toned down a little, more true to his original look.
His "helmet" is a little too long in the "mouth" and his "ears" stick out a little too far...thus giving him a chimpanzee look to him. But what can I say...I bought him didn't I ?

I’ll probably be getting this comic pack next. Then I’ll be done with the wave and I can start in on wave 5.
I really wish they had retooled Shipwreck’s hand. And Copperhead looks kind of lack luster, although I must add that I’m not a fan of 25th anniversary Roadblock. I’ll probably get this set next time I see it though. |

Can these be linked on the front page where the "what's out now" list is? I think it'd be really helpful.
