New G.I.Joe Construction Sets – Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m talking about new G.I.Joe construction ‘Lego style’ sets, which are not truly Legos but it sounds better than calling them ‘building blocks’. I found these at Ollie’s and they were very inexpensive. I’m not a big Lego guy but my son has been hitting me up for Star Wars Legos lately and honestly they are really expensive, so when I found these a light bulb went off and this was my chance to draw him into G.I.Joe. I have tried over the years and…

G.I.Joe ‘Alpine’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost. Summer is quickly coming to a close and things are getting busy again. So I’m getting back to a fan favorite G.I.Joe character that was in a lot of the animated episodes and has been a staple character over the years, ‘Alpine‘. Alpine is part of the “hey day” 1985 lineup. The mountaineer was a character I could relate to growing up in the high peak mountains. Alpine was one I did not have as a kid but he had a really cool and unique look.…

G.I.Joe ‘Cobra La’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at Cobra La. Back when G.I.Joe: The Movie came out I was well embedded into the GI Joe world. I had 12 inch figures, I had 1982 figures, and I had 1985 figures. A lot of people feel 1985 was the hey day but I loved everything up to 85 and I loved the expansion and continuous creativity of years after that. The Cobra La mainly, Golobulus, Nemesis Enforcer, Pythona, and the Royal Guards were an instant hit for me. The…

G.I.JOE ‘Firebat’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the 2008 G.I.Joe 25th Anniversary Firebat. The original was released in 1986 with the Terrordrome, something I long for, but I have never had. I was happy when they released the Firebat in 2008 as this was a vehicle Cobra used in the cartoon and I just loved the design. So there was no hesitation to pick this one up when I saw it in stores. It just has a sleek look. The Rattler and Skystriker are awesome vehicles but…

G.I.JOE ‘B.A.T.’ DISCUSSION BY MITCHELL SMITH!

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at one of the great G.I.Joe 1986 figures that I had, and we ended up with many versions that were pretty awesome, the original Cobra B.A.T. B.A.T. was pretty awesome when it was first released. The really cool thing was there were interchangeable hands and over the years each version has different hands and weapons that attach. The original is awesome and the modern version of the original was a grand slam. The Nineties versions were really cool and I love…

G.I.JOE ‘BAZOOKA’ DISCUSSION BY MITCHELL SMITH!

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at one of the great 1985 G.I.Joe’s, Bazooka. In the animated series Bazooka was a solid character with a unique look. Bazooka’s secondary specialist is a tank driver where he started out and decided he didn’t want to be the sitting duck he wanted to shoot at the duck. Bazooka had a few upgrades including Tiger Force and a few modern style. I love the classic look and I also have a 12 inch Bazooka that looks pretty damn good in…

G.I.Joe ‘FLAK Cannon’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost, today I’m taking a look at a a cool original G.I.Joe vehicle. The 1982 Flak Cannon. This is a cool vehicle and even though it is a stationary vehicle this is one that packs a big punch. I did have one of these as a kid and I loved it back then as much as I do now. Simple but effective this is one to have to defend the Joe base or ground vehicles. Strangely enough this is one Cobra used in the first season of…

SNAKE EYES: G.I.Joe Origins Review (SPOILER WARNING)!

Review by @skinnyjoefan Snake Eyes G.I. Joe Origins. First off let me preface this by saying and those of you who know me know this.I live and breathe G.I.Joe every single day and have since pretty much 1982. I have read and re-read the comics and even formed several theories about them.The first and most foremost thing about Snake Eyes is that he IS the central character in the Hama universe. All the other characters revolve around him. If you build a chart with Snake Eyes in the middle circle…

G.I.Joe Cartoon Series Sn. 1 Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m talking about season one of the original G.I.Joe Cartoon Series. It’s one of my favorite seasons and they did a great job all around. There were some flaws but maybe they left those in to see who would catch them. Growing up Saturday morning was Smurfs, Snorks, and shows like that. Afternoons after school it was Scooby Doo and the Flintstones. When GI Joe came along this was a whole new idea on cartoons. I military group who’s primary goal was to keep the…

G.I.Joe 1984 ‘Slugger’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m looking at the 1984 G.I.Joe Slugger. This is an iconic vehicle and was used frequently in the early cartoon. This is a bad ass 6 wheeled tank and it is one of my favorite vehicles I never had as a kid. There were 2 updates a solid green and a tan that I do not own. I do have 3 originals with the gun so I’m pretty happy about that. This one is just an awesome vehicle that is simple but packs a big…
