In doing research for Shipwreck for the 3-pack, I came upon a blue version of the character that was originally included with the Piranha boat back during the Valor vs Venom days. I liked this version so much that I wasn't sure if I wanted Shipwreck to be blue or green. In the end, I decided to make both by renaming the blue version Wet-Down.

For this project, I wanted to emulate the type of offerings that the GIJCC put out every year. I had a few criteria:
- Lots of paint apps
- No (or few) modified parts
- Weapons and accessories are all (mostly) from Hasbro's Joe line
- Vehicles are all from Hasbro's Joe line
I really wanted this set to "feel" like an authentic Club set. I pretty much stayed within these self-imposed guidelines. I only broke these rules a couple of times. My justification was that the Club has been tooling up new parts (on a limited basis) in the last few years.
