Read MoreWelcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look back at a 2007 G.I. Joe Sigma 6 figure. The Sigma6 were short Lived from 2005-2007. I remember seeing them and thinking they were expensive so the only figure I picked up was Spirit who at the time was an o-ring figure I had wanted for 20 years and this was why I picked him up. The design was interesting on these. It wasn’t the normal realistic look of the original eighties Joes or even the nineties Joes that took on…

As we all know the long run of GI Joe O-ring figures ran from 1982-1994, and the glorious days of GI Joe came to a halt. With it came some trials of some other lines including GI Joe Extreme and SGT.

Read MoreStory by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost! Today, I’m taking a look at the G.I. Joe 1986 Cobra Bunker. The 1986 G.I. Joe Cobra Bunker is a really cool playset. It’s small but packs a big punch. It’s a really cool small bunker where Cobra can set up base and defend their post. I really don’t know how Hasbro has not tapped into the small playsets for the Classified series to give figures some depth and a purpose, such as defending their post. Welcome to The Outpost! Today, I’m…
