Body Construction:

Shipwreck's body is completely original - all new body parts. None of his parts were ever re-used to build other action figures.

Starting with this series (Series Four, 1985), the head joint on G.I.Joe figures was changed into a head "ball". This ball allowed the head to look up and down, in addition to left and right.

International Variants:

In Brazil, Shipwreck was recolored in Tiger Force colors and released as Tigre Guarda-Costeira - Marujo.

In India in 1993, Shipwreck was released with slight paint differences and with differently colored accessories.
