Description

G.I. Joe Shipwreck AFA 90 ** POP 3, Highest Grade ** (Hasbro, 1985). Sailor, smart aleck, and scene-stealer, Shipwreck became an instant fan-favorite when he joined the G.I. Joe team in 1985. Armed with a boarding hook, a parrot named Polly, and a whole lot of attitude, he stood out both on shelves and on screen. This Series 4 release comes on the 36-back card and features the grey file card variant, an early production detail prized by collectors for its rarity and link to the first wave of distribution. Graded AFA 90 NM+/MT with subgrades of C90 B90 F90, this figure is at the top of the census-POP 3, with none graded higher. A pristine example of one of the most beloved characters in the Real American Hero lineup, offering elite-grade appeal for high-end collectors.
