Story By Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the G.I. Joe 1988 Night Shade. This was a repaint of the original S.H.A.R.K. The Night Shade was part of the Toys R Us exclusive Night Force. I had a few Tiger Force figures and a couple vehicles growing up, but I did not have any of the Night Force. Many fans love the darker and sometimes more realistic look of the Night Force figures, but I never hear much about the vehicles. I love the…

When Hasbro released the original G.I. Joe figure in 1964, they didn’t just launch a toy—they created a cultural icon. Standing 12 inches tall and dressed in military fatigues, this groundbreaking figure represented much more than action-packed play. To American kids and parents, G.I. Joe became a symbol of patriotism, heroism, and the spirit of service that resonated deeply in a country still grappling with the effects of World War II and the Korean War. Its release also coincided with the patriotic fervor and optimism of the John F. Kennedy…

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the new ReAction Tomax and Xamot O-Ring figures. These are pretty cool. I love the classic look and I can’t say they disappoint. The original Crimson twins will always be my favorites. I had so many adventures with them and I still have my original Tomax that is so worn out his neck is missing a peg and won’t stay in the body. The 2005 figures are great and I had one I bought from TRU…

Recondo: G.I. Joe’s Jungle Specialist and His M.A.S.H. Influence

Recondo, G.I. Joe’s rugged jungle expert, has long been a fan favorite for his unique look and specialization in jungle warfare and survival. Introduced by Hasbro in 1984, he’s notable for his signature slouch hat, handlebar mustache, and his intense love for navigating untamed terrains. Interestingly, some fans speculate that Recondo may have been inspired by the M.A.S.H. character Muldoon, a brief but memorable character from the hit TV show and movie M.A.S.H. who was also known for his laid-back, resilient personality and readiness to face whatever challenges the wild…

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the 1994 G.I. Joe Shadow Ninjas. Bushido, Night Creeper, Nunchuck, Slice, Snake Eyes, and Storm Shadow. It was a very shaky time for GI Joe and it was getting harder and harder to sell or please fans. Or perhaps it was that the bulk of GI Joe fans were in high school, college, or starting a family and life with action figures was a thing of the past. Hasbro closed the doors on the beloved 3-3/4…

Story By Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look back at a 1987 G.I. Joe character who was over shadowed by many other characters that year especially characters from GI Joe the Movie. Many great characters like Fast Draw, Sneak Peak and Crazylegs were minor characters at best but I think could be utilized in the modern era of Gi Joe. Psyche-Out is also one of those characters who really doesn’t have much of a story in the comics or animated show. Mostly what we know…

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at G.I. Joe Pythona. Particularly a 6 inch custom I got on EBay. The 1987 Gi Joe The Movie introduced many characters. Some, people loved some, people did not. I was one of those kids that loved all the new characters including Cobra La. The opening scene featured one character that was a great character but there was no figure to back up that coolness. Pythona has always been one of my favorite characters. She was stealthy,…
