I am surprised that Polly was issued with Shipwreck's first 3 3/4" figure (I never owned him... I'm a Shipwreck hater). So, did the cartoon version influence the figure? Or vice versa?

Which came first, the parrot or the comedic concept?

Shipwreck debuted in 1984's "Revenge of Cobra" cartoon miniseries, so he was a cartoon character before an action figure. I don't remember if Polly also appeared in that miniseries.

I don't have that mini series, but Frank Welker was not credited as Polly in it.
 
I kinda thought Polly was a cartoon invention, meant to reach out to the younger kids and provide comic relief.

Polly=Orko=Snarf=Teebo (or Teebot or whatever the Hell that little motorcycle robot thing was)

Shipwreck hater? How can anyone hate a wisecracking skirt chaser that sailed a boat across a desert?
