Has anyone ever seen this figure? I got it at a garage sale for $1. I'd like to get a few more. Can anyone ID this one? Name, year of release, etc... All it says is "Made in Hong Kong".
I've got him standing on top of my TV. This is the Korean War Corsair landing.

I second that assessment. It is Shiprwreck from the 80's GI JOE...Interper hit it dead on with an AMRAAM...

It is Shipwreck from the origional line of GI Joe figures, when they were largely realistic. This came out around 1985, I believe.
I imagine you should be able to find a bunch of examples of this figure on ebay if you want to create a realistic naval crew

I love that fig as well. I have all of the figs from the Gi Joe line from 1982-1987. Most of the modern figs as well. It is always good to see GI Joe.
