Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look back at G.I. Joe 2017 as a whole. 10 years had passed since the modern style Joe was released in 2007 as the 25th anniversary of the 3-3/4 inch style O-Ring Joes that took the world by storm and still holds up as one of the greatest action figure lines of all time. I would have to say of all the toy lines the only other close ones are Star Wars and Transformers. 2017 would prove to…

Hello everybody. Today I’m taking a look at actor Richard Gilbert Gautier. Born in 1931 in Culver City, CA, Gautier grew up in the industry as his father was a movie camera grip and his mother was a costume seamstress. Gautier’s first gig was as a singer and shortly after he would join the US Navy. After his time in the Navy Gautier worked his way up to being Conrad Birdie in the original Broadway production of Bye Bye Birdie. Gautier also had rolls in popular Sixties shows such as…

Story by Staff Writer Shaft Today we move to the US Navy as we look at G.I. Joe Torpedo. He is listed as a SEAL with a PMS of “Navy SEAL” and SMS of “Demolitions”. His filecard is pretty straight forward as SEAL’s do learn demolitions as part of their training pipeline. However during the time his character came out the SEAL rating (equivalent to a US Army and US Marine MOS) was not one that a new recruit could jump into right away. From my understanding one had to…

This would be the last year for a bit to find figures at retail. I remember seeing a couple at Toys R Us, and wishing things were a bit cheaper. Times were tough and I just didn’t have extra cash for anything back then. I passed on some cool figures I wish I had been able to pick up…

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look back at G.I. Joe in 2015 as a whole. It was getting harder and harder to find 3-3/4 figures at retail. K-Mart had already run the “Ship My Pants” commercial a couple years prior and the online ordering was starting to take over everything. There were a few 50th anniversary figures but most were club and convention exclusives. Those who may have went hunting for Joes this year most likely had a hard time finding anything in…

Hello everybody. Today I’m taking a look at voice actor Buster Jones. Born in 1943 in Paris, Tennessee Jones grew up and went to Lane College in Jackson, TN. While attending school Jones was in a band and took a job as a disc jockey. He would work in DC and LA where he would take voice parts in commercials and eventually lead him into some of the greatest 1980’s characters. Jones would voice Black Vulcan on the popular Super Hero cartoon Super Friends. Along side other great voice actors…
