Shipwreck Under Siege (Theme Week - Water)
Description: Shipwreck has been a favorite since I was a kid. His figure is excellent, a standout even in the best year of GI Joe, and his characterization on the cartoon was absolutely fantastic.

Initially I was planning on doing a scene with Shipwreck and Copperhead in a knife fight on the water's edge, but while I was looking for Copperhead, I came across my Lampreys and decided to use them instead. I threw an Eel into the mix, and The Corps! boat I literally found today at a thrift store.

I'm pretty happy with the result.

Great posing and scenery! Always nice seeing a non-Joe vehicle integrated so well!

That's an excellent location.  Great posing too.  

I have this boat stashed away somewhere.  Got it at walmart.  Not sure what year, but it had to be around 2004.  

I'll probably end up repainting it one day, but I don't know if I should make it a joe or a cobra vessel.

That creek location is what I wish my creek was.  You can get down to get a shot in the water.  And, the bottom isn't full of crap.  The rocks in the background make it feel like a canyon.  The posing of all Shipwreck's victims is great, too.

That's the CORPS! boat, isn't it?  I desperately wanted one of those back in 1999 or 2000.  At the time, Lanard was shipping pallets of vehicles to every K Mart, Wal Mart and even places like Big Lots.  But, they weren't shipping the boat.  I ended up with a couple of Hum Vees and Tanks.  But, this boat was one that got away.

It's a solid vehicle. It's not Moray, WHALE or TTBP levels of fun, but it has some nice features like an opening hatch and a few swiveling gun mounts. It's definitely worth the $3 I spent on it.
I actually went to a local park to take this, one I'd wanted to take Joe pics at for a while now. Those rocks are a big reason why it was on my list.
