Shipwreck’s Journal Entry #2 – Memories of Mara Revisited Avast, me hearties! It’s been a while since I put pen to paper, but today’s a day that begs for a new entry in the log. The wind’s in the sails, and the sea’s as calm as a sleepin’ cat. It brings back memories of that day with Mara, and the promise I made to her. But let me not get ahead of meself.

G.I. JOE STORIES – “Shipwreck’s Journal”!

Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

Shipwreck’s Journal Entry Date: September 14, 1985 Ahoy there, shipmates! Shipwreck here, and I’ve decided to put pen to paper today to spill the beans about a little somethin’ that’s been on my mind for quite some time now. It’s not often that a sailor like me finds himself in a situation like this, but heck, if it ain’t a tale worth tellin’, then I don’t know what is. Now, I reckon y’all know me as the wisecrackin’, parrot-totin’ sailor who’s always up for an adventure with the G.I. Joe…

G.I. Joe ‘Shipwreck’ Through The Years!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , 0 comment

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at one of my favorite G.I. Joe characters in the Joe universe Shipwreck. Shipwreck who is voiced by Neil Ross was an instant hit for me and millions around the world. I remember my 10th birthday going to Ames department store in Saranac Lake to use $10 that I got for my birthday from my grandparents. I vaguely remember a Flint, Airtight and Dusty that I passed on to get Footloose and Shipwreck. I think the biggest…

G.I.Joe ‘Shipwreck’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , 0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at one of the best G.I.Joe characters ever created, and one of the very first I bought with my own money, ‘Shipwreck‘. Shipwreck was introduced in 1985 and was an instant hit. I remember standing in Ames with my older brother and I liked the sailor suit, the name, his cool weapons, and Polly. I remember storing his pistol and anchor in a small match box. I still have the Polly minus his feet and Shipwrecks head. My brothers were rough on my…

Welcome to the Outpost. I hope everyone is getting through this crazy time. Today I’m checking out one of my favorite G.I.Joe characters from 1985. I can remember it like it was yesterday. I had just turned 10 and I got 5 bucks so I picked out 2 Joes. Footloose and one of my all time favorites Shipwreck. I was so excited to see some awesome Joes. I had the 12 inch Joes and a few of the 3-3/4 inch but the 85 Joes were all pretty cool. I don’t believe Shipwreck had…

Welcome to the Outpost. Happy New Year. I hope everyone enjoyed my favorite G.I.Joe figures discussions. Thanks to our fearless leader for having the idea of highlighting some under appreciated characters in the franchise. I will be going through some of my favorite under appreciated characters, feel free to give me suggestions on which ones you feel are under appreciated. I’m going to start the list with a cool character from 1987. Crystal Ball is a character everyone always seems to cut down. I’m not sure why. I had this…

MY FAVORITE G.I.JOE FROM 1994 – STORY BY MITCHELL SMITH!

Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. 1994 was the year I graduated and went off to college. G.I. Joe was well into my rear view mirror so far I couldn’t see it any longer. Obviously I had not forgotten it, but it was in the past. It was actually not even a Joe that got me collecting again, it was a Han Solo figure I found at a flea market in Vermont for 1 dollar. It was the best and worse dollar I ever spent. 1994 was going to be the end…

MY FAVORITE G.I.JOE FROM 1985 – STORY BY MITCHELL SMITH!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , 0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. 1985 was one of the best years for G.I. Joe. Some of the all time greats came out for vehicles including the holy grail U.S.S. Flagg. My brother got a Snow Cat and the Crimson Twins this year. These are still some of my all time favorites. I also was able to get my hands on some birthday cash and buy Footloose and Shipwreck. I also got a Crankcase that year but I think that was my younger brother’s. Any hoot Shipwreck was one of my…

‘G.I.Joe 1985 The Golden Age’ Story by Mitchell Smith!

Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

The Year 1985 launched a massive toy line into my life, a creative T.V. Series, and like me, many kids were over joyed on Christmas day. There are many years of G.I.Joe before and after 1985 that were great, but this was one of my favorite years. Dreadnoks, Lady Jaye, Flint, and the Crimson Twins were just a few of my favorites, as well as a revamped Snake Eyes. The A.W.E Striker, Moray, and perhaps the holy Grail of G.I. Joe vehicles/playsets the U.S.S Flagg were all created in 1985.I’m…

THE POP EXPOSE – The Exciting Career of Voice Actor Neil Ross!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , , 0 comment

Hello everyone! Today I’m checking out one of the great voice actors of our time Neil Ross. Ross started out in radio and once left his gig in Idaho and took a radio job in Hawaii for $400 per month. Ross was also the announcer for the popular game show Press Your Luck where he also did the sound for the little Whammy guy cartoon who would dance across the tv screen and take all your money. If you have never watched this show find a clip of it. Ross…

G.I.Joe ‘Dusty’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , 0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m checking out one of my favorite characters G.I.Joe ‘Dusty‘. The 1985 Dusty was such a cool figure and I probably passed him up for Shipwreck and Footloose but I’m not sure. I had one shot back in the day and I couldn’t buy them all. Dusty was a solid character in the cartoon and in the comics. Over the years there have been some great upgrades including the the Tiger Force that I did have and still have, the 1991 version with the beret, and one of…

G.I.Joe ‘Topside’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , 2 Comments

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m checking out 1990 G.I.Joe Topside. 1990 was a pivotal year for me. I was starting high school and my Joe days were coming to an end. Topside was one of the last figures I received and probably one of the most underrated characters. Topside has a cool look to him and past NAVY characters like Cutter and Shipwreck have fixed hats, but Topside has a removable helmet. Along with a cool rocket firing pack, his uniform was unique and full of detail. From the orange…

‘G.I.Joe 2021 What do you expect?’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , 0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. We pulled the E-break and slide sideways right into 2021. This week I’m not going to talk about what we have or what we had, rather I want to touch on what we want to see coming down the pipeline for G.I.Joe in 2021. 2020 made a feeble attempt to distribute 6 inch and 3-3/4 inch figures and vehicles. Surprising enough I was finally able to get an A.W.E. Striker after Christmas Grrrrrrr. First I would like to say I think the lines may have been dampened by…
