Read MoreStory By Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m sticking with G.I. Joe 1990 and a really cool vehicle with the Retaliator.

Read MoreStory By Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. I’ve recently been watching GI Joe episodes and getting into the 1990 run. For me I was a diehard 1982 fan even going back to the 12 inch figures. I missed out on most 83-85 figures but had enough to harness a love that would carry me into my future as a collector. I did receive a great amount of Joe figures and vehicles from 86-89 and 1990 would be the last year my brothers and I would receive any Joes as…

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. It’s also starts up where the 1987 GI Joe the movie left off. As a kid GI Joe the movie was kind of my end from what I can remember as watching the animated series. I did receive a few of the figures from 89-90 as gifts but at this point in my life a was active in work , sports, and parties. The Dragonfire…
Read MoreThere are voices from our childhood that settle into our memories—not because they were the loudest or the flashiest, but because they carried heart. Lee Weaver was one of those voices. For many of us who grew up glued to weekday afternoons or Saturday mornings, G.I. Joe was more than just a cartoon. It was a world of bravery, humor, danger, and friendship. 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…
