Just checked my 2 Shipwreck's... My Shark Tattoo & Anchor Tattoo both have the Anchor belt buckle...
Great find! I guess this means the new wave 4 comic pack one will NOT have the anchor belt. Although the picture at the club does in fact show the anchor... hmmm.... |

Is there something about the anchor symbol that they can't use anymore? |

The original 1983 Gung-Ho had an anchor on his hat as well as on his chest tattoo, so i don't see what the big deal is. I like my 25th Gung-Ho with an anchor because he resembles his original counterpart. |

They probably removed the anchor from the mould so they could reuse it for another character (e.g., Wild Bill?) that wasn't nautical-themed.
