Read MoreStory by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. I’ve recently been watching GI Joe Operation Dragonfire. This is the 1989 series where DIC took over.

Behind those adventures were real people lending warmth and humanity to the characters we adored. Lee Weaver was one such presence, giving life to Alpine—a steady climber…

Read MoreStory By Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Throughout the eighties Hasbro put out a ton of small play sets that were really cool. I’m still not sure why Hasbro today has not tapped into the smaller more affordable play sets and accessories packs like a firing range or Bivouac for the Classified. The 1984 Watch Tower is also one that is relatively simple and would give a really cool scenery set to display and capture pics for the Classified Joes. As simple as the 1984 Watch Tower is, it…

Read MoreStory By Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at 1990 Undertow. His file card lists him as Destro’s frogmen, and an elite diver with a special designed suit to dive through any environment such as oil and sludge. Undertow Does make his way into the animated series and into the comics for what I could gather, but even AI mode on Google could not confirm, so maybe one of our comic experts here can confirm that. This figure is sharp looking and has some really…

Read MoreStory By Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at 1992 Deep Six. Deep six V1 was one of those figures I think kids loved him or hated him.
