[@BladeStar-uq6xe]

@StoriesFromTheToyshelf I'm Fudging a Dar the Beastmaster in my Action Figure Collection, so I'm giving him all the animal sidekicks. I think I have, in articulation, 2 Eagle's as I have 2 Spirits, Panther, Wolf, warthog, 2 different dogs, then in non articulation, monkey, parrot, and weasel or something.

Shipwreck was a real sailor. Specializing in the 3 F’s: Fussing, fighting, and… finding ladies.

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

Gotta do something when in port I guess :) he definitely does not disappoint 👍

[@rickdavis32]

He had the most leadership qualities. Hellraisers evolve and lead.

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

@@rickdavis32 Well said :) would've loved to see a future version of Shipwreck as an admiral!

[@rickdavis32]

@@StoriesFromTheToyshelf rough seas make calm sailors, hes been in rough seas since the bathtub. Most of the hellraisers ive known eventually figured shit out and were good for action. Theyre used to heat, so they keep people alive and then lead when needed. Gector wasnt done cooking is all. In the comic he ends up a seal though.

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

@rickdavis32 yup I believe his later toy also designated him as a seal 👍 I wonder if that improved his relationship with Wet Suit 😅

[@stanventure5279]

Shipwreck is the epitome of what being a sailor is about.

No one saved their asses in the Sunbow toon more often than Shipwreck.

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

Shipwreck was definitely in his element in the cartoon. Definitely one of the standouts for sure 👍👍👍

[@tonyjackson4078]

It was also a nice touch that his code name pretty much summed up his whole personality. He was comedy relief without it seeming forced. He was a mess, but still capable enough to get by, and had a good heart despite his rough edges.

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

Yup quite the entertaining dude....would be a lot boring if he was Shipshape as he referred to himself 😅

[@Cyril29a]

Shipwreck was the best character in the Sunbow cartoon. I find this to be a classic example of marshall mcluhan's the medium is the message. The coolest original Joe was Snake eyes and he worked very well in the comic book since it is a visual medium exclusively. There is no sound, no human voices in comic books but for an animated television show a silent character limits the story telling possibilities. Pairing Snakeeyes with Shipwreck in the pyramid of darkness was an inspired choice. It allowed the void created by Snakeeye's silence to be filled by Shipwrecks boisterous personality. This is a clear example of the medium influencing how the story is told and what kind of story works best. Oh and giving him a parrot also adds to this as it gives Shipwreck another voice to riff off of while allowing Snakeeyes to stay silent. Still having the two of them walk through cobra headquarters with a wold and parrot in tow and not be recognized was extremely silly.

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

Great observations! Too bad they didn't pair them up more often. Can you believe I only watched Pyramid of Darkness for the first time in its entirety last month???? Crazy no. While nowhere near the silliness of DIC...this definitely was where the writers started loosening the reigns on the humor. Still....great stuff:) break dancing Snake Eyes is iconic!

[@gall_blader_works]

Shipwreck was an instant fave for me. Lots of entertaining personality! The fact that I haven't gotten the classified version is a crime unto myself. HAHA

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

Really? I never saw you as a Shipwreck fan....more of a Gung Ho dude 😅

[@gall_blader_works]

@StoriesFromTheToyshelf my absolute favorite was Blowtorch. I was fascinated with his flame colors and flamethrower back then. Those were followed by Shipwreck, Dusty, Firefly, Barbecue, Airtight, and yes, Gung-ho. Shipwreck was always entertaining to watch just to see what insane situations he'd get himself in and out of.

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

@gall_blader_works yeah Shipwreck was really tailormade to appeal to us as kiddies in the cartoon. Blowtorch was cool too! Excited for the Classified version!

[@gall_blader_works]

@StoriesFromTheToyshelf Are we getting a classified version? Looks like I'll have to pick that one up too.

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

@gall_blader_works yup! They've already showed off the 3D renders :)

😂 The Village People reference Killed me !! 😂😂

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

🤣 Makes you wonder if the toy designers had them in the back of their minds when thinking up new action figures 👍👍👍

[@mrcat3493]

It cracks me up that a sailor would be promoted to the rank of colonel and no one thinks it’s odd.

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

Well to be fair....Beach Head thought it was odd 😅 points to Cobra for quite the creative strategy that almost actually worked 🤣

[@maxbrandt6]

What's the US navy equivalent of a colonel, a captain? I'm pretty sure it's captain.

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

@maxbrandt6 yup I believe that's correct :)

[@marzmarch]

In my area, the only toy release that was more popular than Shipwreck was Beach Head. But the parrot and superior cartoon character made Shipwreck the favored over time. Then, in the Marines, I learned how fabulously accurate Shipwreck was. Gloriously on point. This was a character that needed to be made, to represent the actual performers in the world’s most competent and deadly military branch (except SEALs, they are overrated). Shipwreck did them justice.

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

I really love hearing stuff like this from people who served in the military. Having never served I always saw him as a caricature. Entertaining but still something drawn up for fun. Hearing accounts like yours gives me a greater appreciation for Shipwreck:) thank you!

[@michaeljfoley1]

I always enjoyed Shipwreck in the cartoon, a real standout with a memorable personality. I think the show writers really enjoyed using Shipwreck in the cartoon, which is why he appeared so often. Despite being used as comedic relief, he also happened to be the featured character in one of the darkest and most serious storylines, the "There's No Place Like Springfield" episodes.

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

Yup Shipwreck definitely stood out 👍 I know that the kneejerk reaction was that he was just the comedic relief but he was one of the most relatable 👍

[@lazarus30001]

My favorite Joe. Shipwreck was the most fleshed-out character in the TV series; you didn't get that with any other Joe. He had human flaws but also an abundance of courage; I'd have a drink with the man any day.

[@CrazyAce83]

To be fair Shipwreck is one my favorite GI Joes. He is one of the more grounded to reality characters of the series.

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

IMHO he's the most un-Joe of all the Joes...which I think is a GOOD thing :) 👍👍👍

[@CrazyAce83]

@StoriesFromTheToyshelf to be fair makes him more relatable to audiences if you ask me. Thats why he became a favorite in my opinion.

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

@CrazyAce83 yup I completely agree! He also became popular cuz he had a certain every man coolness and vibe that was pretty relatable 👍👍👍

To quote general Hawk Lifeline has the ability but not the desire Footlose has the desire but not th ability Shipwreck has neither

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

Yup! Too funny! Although I think you meant Dialtone instead of Footloose:) poor Shipwreck!

[@philv2529]

@StoriesFromTheToyshelf omg I can't believe you caught that. When writing that comment I only remembered lifeline and shipwreck so I thought I could fake the second one lol But you gotta admit that footloose also is kind of a slacker. And I forgot that dialtone existed bec my VERY FIRST Joe was breaker when the first set came out and so I kinda resented dialtone for having a bigger backpack. Not making this up that's the actual reason

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

@philv2529 that's so funny! I always thought Footloose was a stoner I mean he was sooooo chill 😅 funny too how your dislike of Dialtone stemmed from backpack envy 😅 but you gotta admit, it was a cool looking backpack 👍 although I do think that the beret was a bit over the top 😅

Would you prefer Captain Gridiron? 😅 I think at least in the cartoon the Fridge could have been a thing? Who knows but yeah he is definitely the lowest of the special Joes. But nit gonna lie....if they release him in Classified, I'll prob get him. They'll most likely reuse the Roadpig buck 👍👍👍

[@BrooklynBum]

Bazooka had the vocabulary of a 2 year old

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

Yes it was pretty odd wasn't it.....FUDGEE!!!! 🤣

[@edparadis4371]

actually in the comics shipwreak was awsome a true Navy seal however these joes both cartoon and Comic are on the list Ripcord, Dusky Quickkick BBQ Big Lob Flint and Duke Bazooka, Captain Gridiron, Lt Falcom

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

I'm sure Shipwreck definitely was objectively better in the comics as it was definitely a more serious take than the cartoons 👍

[@BladeStar-uq6xe]

I was U.S. Navy for 8 years, so, as the only true sailor, I didn't count the 2 Divers because they weren't even SEALS, I almost had to pick Shipwreck as one of my favorite Joe's even though he was somewhat Misogynistic.

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

Shipwreck was definitely unique 👍but I guess his characterization was definitely a product of the 80s :)

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

Deep 6 was a Navy Diver. He had a special suit. ⚓️ He held his breath the longest. That's how GI Joe got him.

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

@DavidLLambertmobile did you have his original toy? I'd imagine he'd be an awesome bath toy 😅

[@dubuyajay9964]

I thought Wet Suit and Torpedo were SEALS.

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

@dubuyajay9964 that's what I thought too? That's their designation on their filecard. Plus Wetsuit and Leatherneck had this freely Rivalry between Marines and Seals 👍

[@Amp1771]

In the cartoon, his character helped the kids out more. I remember the episode where he told them the ridiculous hamburger mine story, which was my favorite.

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

Yup! Say what you will about Shipwreck but he was great with the kids!

[@Alverant]

It's important to note Shipwreck led the Joes in the attack on the Cobra HQ in Pyramid of Darkness. In my head cannon, "No Place like Springfield" gave him PTSD which is why he's such a goof in the next season.

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

Well seeing your family and friends turn evil and melt before your eyes is very traumatic. Can't blame him! 👍

Shipwreck was one of my favorites. It’s funny all the fuss adult collectors make over the file cards. As a kid I don’t think I read (or kept!) one. They went straight in the trash as soon as the fig was opened. I knew all I needed to know from the cartoon… and really the toys were always just a way to “get by” until the cartoon was on again.

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

Interesting take. I for one loved the filecards as they gave me a better idea what the characters were about even if a lot of the nuances flew over my head as a kid 😅 as an adult, I am appreciating them more. But to each his own I guess the cartoons were awesome in themselves too 👍

[@ScarlettShana]

You know son of Jack Nickolson Ray Nickolson Smile 2 is perfect cast for Shipwreck)))

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

Oh that's cool! I didn't know that Nicholsons son was an actor too! After goggling yes he would be perfect. Much better than John Hannah, who I thought was an odd choice. Definitely a case of a director casting his friends. Nice enough guy I would think but definitely not Shipwreck 👍

[@dinomonzon7493]

Incompetent Joe this time? Definitely Chuckles. Shipwreck, however, for all the propping that he's "S. E. A. L." material (and he's Not) has no real emotional control; anything happens to Cover Girl and he panics. Even Flint never does that. Plus, for a supposed S. E. A. L. and a Joe, he doubts what the team can do (DDP G. I. Joe Vol. 2 #4).

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

If we're talking Cartoon Chuckles....I'd say he's more of a blank slate. Idw Chuckles though is a pretty great character IMHO. As for Shipwreck, he really shined more in the cartoons where military realism took a backseat to entertainment and catering to a younger audience. So I guess you have a definite point when it comes from viewing things from a realistic perspective...but for me, it's all good 👍

Oh shhhhhhhh shipwreck. Duke.... hey that's a cool nickname.

from your accent. are you from Philippines? Just curious. Was G.I. Joe big over there? I'm surprised when I see pinoy youtubers talking about gig joe. I never knew it was shown over there in the 80's. By the way you don't need to insert an image of every word or phrase your saying. for example, we don't need to see images ofMadeline Pryor when you say prior or images of Michael Jackson, goat saying bad and all the other corny images. Just stick with the subject. The other images are just so fake and corny.

Hey there yup I'm from the Philippines 👍 and yes GIJoe along with all the other 80s cartoons were pretty big here too I mean we didn't get the cartoon daily and all and the toys weren't really sold on regular retail as far as I remember but they were all readily available :) I find it funny how many Americans, have this idea that Filipinos especially back in the day are pretty backwards that we live on coconut trees or something 😂 we're pretty modern even back then 👍👍👍 Anyway thanks for the feedback as well. I admit my storytellling style isn't for everyone and that's perfectly fine. But for better or worse it's what sets me apart from others and is a way I am able to share a bit of my own personality. That being said, I'd like to think I have made a conscious effort to find a happy medium and not overdo things too much. Either way, I do appreciate your thoughts on the matter 👍 thank you! I do hope you still come back for more stories and look forward to hearing more from you!

@@StoriesFromTheToyshelf THAT'S cool that you guys got the carttoons back than too. I just wasn't sure if it would be well received in Asia. cool that cartoon , toys an d comics were therr too in the 80's. I had asked acouple of other pinoys but they never watched on remember it.

[@StoriesFromTheToyshelf]

@@roelrobles91 Of course robots like Transformers were definitiely more popular given we're Asian hehe...but I think the fact that the Philippines was once a colony of America and our shared WW2 History made Joes resonate more with our culture as opposed to other Asian countries....Wait I just noticed your name, are you Pinoy too? 😅

[@roelrobles91]

@@StoriesFromTheToyshelf Yup. That's why I was asking. Other friends that grew up there didn't know what I was talking about.

@@StoriesFromTheToyshelf very cool to know that pinoy's have been enjoying it too since the80's.
