Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m dialing it back to 1990. I was entering high school and my G.I. Joe days were slowly fading away. I think my mom still felt bad for years we didn’t get much for Christmas or maybe she was just hanging on to her little boy. Either way this was the last year I would receive GI Joes for Christmas. It was only a handful of figures and one I received is a fan favorite. Ambush was a really cool looking…

Story By Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m dialing it back to 1981. As any G.I. Joe fan would know the once successful 12 inch Joe line had fizzled out and Hasbro had few intentions of bringing it back. There were several lines such as Megos 3-3/4 Chips figures and Fisher Price’s Adventure People that kids had, including myself, to create many adventures. If you have watched the series “The Toys That Made Us, you know the prototype Joes were some Chips figures painted green. I so badly…

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the 1986 Dreadnok Thunder Machine. The Thunder Machine made its first appearance in the series “Arise Serpentor Arise”. While Zartan and the Noks held a competition for the next member to join them Monkeywrench and Thrasher made quite an impression. Of course they both made it and Thrasher brought his Thunder Machine on board. The custom hot rod assumingely built by Thrasher is an interesting vehicle. I always got a Mad Max vibe on this vehicle.…

Rub a dub dub three men in a tub all adrift a sea a Techno a Toxo a Hydro Viper what a sight to see. 1988 cranked out some very cool and interesting G.I. Joe vehicles. I was fortunate enough to have a Warthog, a phantom X-19, and a couple Mean Dogs. I really enjoyed the Tiger Force and had the Tiger Fly and The Night Force, and Iron Grenadier lines were really cool. We had huge vehicles like the Rolling Thunder…

The G.I. Joe franchise has remained an indomitable force in the toy industry for decades, captivating generations with its heroic characters and thrilling storylines. While it’s true that independent creators and fan innovations have gained momentum, the claim that nostalgia has outstayed its welcome or that “fans do the best work” overshadows corporate efforts is a sweeping generalization—especially when it comes to the G.I. Joe Classified line. It’s Chad YouTube“Evergreen intellectual properties that we’re all familiar with don’t look so green these days and a lot of fans are getting…

Story By Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. 1994 was a sad year for GI Joe fans. Hasbro decided to end the 3-3/4 inch Joe line. Most of the eighties kids who had grow up on Joes now were in high school, college, or starting a family. Joes faded out and most of us didn’t even know it at the time, Me being one of them as I graduated high school this year and started college. Nevertheless years later I rediscovered GI Joe. There was a vast sea of Joe…

Story By Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. 1987 was an interesting year. This was the year Aretha Franklin was inducted to the Hall of Fame, the Montreal Expos were still a team and G.I. Joe had potentially peaked and was on an uncontrollable slide. There were still some awesome vehicles being produced like the Cobra Wolf, Battle Force 2000 base, and one of the holy grails themselves the Defiant space shuttle. There were also a great lineup of characters such as Falcon, Tunnel Rat and Law and Order from…

Story By Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the 12 inch G.I. Joe first responder firefighter released in 2011 as a 30th anniversary figure.

This has a really nice realistic uniform as well as gear. The helmet, ax, and air pack are all…
