Story by Staff Writer Shaft Cobra Polar Assault specialists, the Snow-Serpents, are listed as “Arctic Operations” as their PMS and “Infantry” as their SMS. Their filecard indicates they are Cobra Eels but with additional training that include cold weather training, use of snow shoes, skis and kayaks and airborne training. If Cobra Eels are the equivalent of US Navy SEALS then I would liken Snow Serpents to SEAL Team 2, which its members are more focused on cold weather training. However SEAL Team 2 (as all other SEAL Teams) do…

But they have a hunger to eat one another in chaotic cannibalism. Serpentor Khan and Dr. Mindbender are also mutated, but Serpentor Khan wants to take over and lead…

Story by Staff Writer “Shaft” Today we look at G.I. Joe Grand Slam. His PMS is listed as “Artillery” and SMS is “Electronics Engineer”. So with “Artillery” he could have been nearly any enlisted MOS in the 13 series (Field Artillery). He could have been a 13B Cannon Crewmember, a 13F Fire Support Specialist or any other 13 series. His filecard states he served with a 155mm battery. However when you look at the HAL and its monitor that Grand Slam views it clearly shows an aircraft in his sites.…

In this week’s G.I. Joe ‘Inside the Filecards‘, I’m Skipping around and going straight to the Crimson Guards. They are “Cobra Elite Troopers” with a PMS of “Undercover Espionage” and SMS of “Accounting”. Their filecard describes them as the “elite shock troopers” of the Cobra legions and later states that they are “too precious to be wasted on the conventional battlefield”. So basically their filecard contradicts itself. Shock troopers by definition are the “door kickers” and the first in a battle. They rely on violence of action to get the…

In the realm of 1980s animated glory, where heroes and villains clashed against the backdrop of explosive battles, one voice cut through the chaos with an unforgettable charisma – the voice of Flint in the iconic G.I. Joe animated series. Bill Ratner, the man behind the microphone, embarked on a legendary journey, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of G.I. Joe fans. From auditions that felt like an old Hollywood “cattle call” to chance encounters in comic book stores, Ratner’s tale is as thrilling as the animated adventures he…

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a G.I. Joe figure that is under appreciated in my opinion. In 1994 Hasbro was still pumping out some cool figures. This was past my prime but I found a new love for GI Joe as a collector and there was some really cool 1994 figures. Effects is one of those hard to find figures and probably gets forgotten a lot. This is a figure that has a good amount of detail. His head really is…
