Released as part of Wave 12 in June 2023, the Joe team's SAILOR is a fan-favorite that had been highly anticipated ever since his reveal the year before. Hasbro decided to keep Shipwreck fairly accurate to his original '85 design and only made some minor updates to him overall, which may have been a little disappointing to some fans but for most he was exactly what they were hoping for.
Shipwreck comes packed with the following gear and accessories: a vintage style revolver, a modern pistol, an anchor, a removable rope harness, an alternate and removable hairpiece (without the Navy 'Dixie Cup' hat) and his wise-cracking pet parrot (Polly). **NOTE** Wave XII was the first wave to debut the newly designed plastic-free black packaging. Using the poll options, rate the figure on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a total miss and a 10 being plastic perfection, based on what you feel the figure deserves. Ratings should take overall design, sculpt, paint apps and paint deco, accessories and articulation into consideration. Thanks for voting and Yooo Joe!!!

He gets a 9 from me. The only point off is for Polly having no articulation. Other than that, a pretty perfect figure. I even like the packaging, although it's plastic-free. I think this packaging is the best plastic-free version out there.

I'm torn on what to give this figure. I love him a lot and was thinking of a 9, but the lack of articulated wings (or even extra alternate wings) for Polly and the fact that his paint apps on his face had to be touched up A LOT (I repainted his eye brows and beard on mine, the paint application just missed a ton of the actual sculpt details and didn't look good) I think are big enough to knock off a full point.
I also think his neck was a tad too long (I modded mine to be a little shorter so it looks fine). After my mods I think he's a really solid 9 though.

Forgot to mention an extremely minor nitpick, which didn't affect my score, but thought it was worth mentioning - Shipwreck's way too pale. Especially for a sailor who is on the ship deck and in the sun a lot. Shipwreck should have had a nice, healthy glow.
Copperhead and Rock n' Roll also suffer from the same problem from this wave. For a guy who spends his days in the Florida swamps (or down in the Amazon forest, SE Asian jungles or the Congo in Africa) and another guy who is a SoCal native who surfs all the time, they should have been much more tan. Like I said, very minor nitpicks that don't affect their scores, but little details that I think were overlooked/missed.

I'll admit, I may be overly critical with Shipwreck since he has always been one of my favorites.

Gave him a 9. Solid release, faithful to the original, but enough of a "contemporary" upgrade (the denim detailing is awesome!). I dig that they give him two wig options. My biggest gripe here is Poly. After seeing what they did with Freedom, this is just a letdown. No spread wings? Additionally, since Shipwreck isn't wearing a pack, they could've given him a clear peg for Polly to "fly," similar to what they did with RedWing for the MCU Wilson Cap.

I should've given him 9 but felt generous in the moment having recently opened him. Would've been cool to have the option for the wing spread like the ROC version, the two headpieces were cool though, I like having the old pistol but the 92 too so you get the mix of retro/modern weapons, paint's done very well on the chest & forearms

Your photo reminded me that I really liked how this wave had a lot of water themes, direct and indirect. Intentionally or not? Who knows! But we got Torpedo, Shipwreck, Copperhead and Rock N Roll (who is a surfer). I like it!

We've moved on to snow now, but don't forget the continuing jungle theme with the Shadow-Tracker plus the new TF/PP figures
