Read MoreStory by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m talking about G.I. Joe Classified drivers/pilots I want to see even if they don’t get their original vehicles produced. GI Joe always had pride in its vast amount of vehicles and especially of the size of some of the largest vehicle/playsets ever produced by any toy line. 1982 proved to be a super successful year for GI Joe and in 1984 the GI Joe base was released. At the time this was one of the largest if not the largest…

Read MoreStory By Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the 1993 V3 Wet-Suit. I had the original 1986 Wet-Suit growing up and he is one of my favorite figures and characters. All around he is a great figure but, a removable helmet would have been awesome. Flash forward to 1993. This was out of my wheelhouse as a kid. Like millions of other kids who had moved their Joes to the attic, the yard sale, or even worse the trash bin we probably didn’t even…

Read MoreFor fans of the classic G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero cartoon, few episodes left a deeper emotional impact than the two-part saga “Worlds Without End.” First airing in 1985, this storyline pushed the boundaries of what a children’s animated series could explore, blending science fiction with psychological drama and a surprisingly mature tone. Even today, nearly 40 years later, it stands as one of the most memorable and haunting entries in the series. The Premise That Shook Us The episodes begin innocently enough—another skirmish between G.I. Joe and Cobra…
Read MoreStory by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the 1994 G.I. Joe Star Brigade Blackstar. The characters developed in 94 are kind of a mystery. Most of the new characters were not included in a tv show or comic as far as I can tell, at least not to any degree where you could get to know the character. So a lot of them hold a lot of mystery to them. I personally love the space figures and wish that would have caught on…

Read MoreThere’s something delightfully odd about the G.I. Joe cartoon episode “The Viper Is Coming.” Premiering during the show’s heyday in the 1980s, it stood out as a humorous and almost surreal departure from the typical battle-heavy, save-the-world storylines that defined the series. For a franchise centered on elite soldiers fighting against an evil terrorist organization, this episode dared to be whimsical—almost absurdly so. And somehow, decades later, that’s exactly what makes it unforgettable. At the heart of the episode is a simple premise that grows increasingly ridiculous: the Joes receive…
Read MoreReview by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the new G.I. Joe Classified Legacy Firefighter action figure. I picked up a number of 12 inch GI Joe Firefighters years ago and when I saw this one I really wanted to get a few. I held out and found this guy on sale. He has a lot of gear and two different heads. I think he is very cool and I would love to see another firefighter packaged with less gear and a little less…
