Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m talking about the 1989 G.I.Joe Cobra Condor. This is one I did not have as a kid and I do not have one in my collection. I do have the pilot the Aero-Viper though. This is a really cool concept jet and splits in the middle to create 2 different jets. I guess you could also use this feature as a Condor that was shot down by a Phantom X-19 as well.I’ve never actually seen one of these in person but it is a pretty…

Welcome to the Outpost. Today we are discussing 2016 G.I.Joe Vehicles. This was a weak year and all vehicles were convention exclusives. The Air assault Glider Alpha, Bravo, are just repainted versions of the original. The Cobra Hydra is a blue version of the 2003 Sky Sweeper. The Autobot Powerglide is a really cool looking Rattler. This is red and looks like it should be a Crimson jet. The Cobra Jump and The Sky Patrol Jump are simple repaint jet packs. Soundwave is a cool looking Hiss with opening side compartments. This one looks…

Welcome to the Outpost. Today we are discussing 2015 G.I.Joe vehicles. 2015 is a year I did not get much but curtesy of my buddy Adam I did get the Silent Strike Sky Striker and Hiss. This is an awesome set and I love the colors. The other set released is the Desert Duel Cobra Basilisk and F.O.E. Striker. These look pretty awesome and I would love one of the FOE Strikers. The Collectors club exclusives are Afterbreaker. There was only 1 other the Wave Crusher which is a cool looking blue…

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m getting into a 1990 G.I.Joe Sonic Fighters character. The Sonic Fighter figures came with electronic back packs that had sound and light. For the most part the packs were a bit over sized but cool. Dial-Tone is one of the original Sonic Fighters and this is a fitting pack because he is a telecommunications specialist, so the pack just looks right. I was a little surprised that Mainframe didn’t make it into the Sonic lineup but maybe that’s something for the future. Either way Dial-Tone looks great with a blue…

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m getting into another 1991 G.I.Joe Super Sonic Fighters figure. Zap was one of my favorite characters growing up but I never had his figure. It wasn’t till I was a collector that I tracked down a straight arm and swivel arm original Zap. He was such a great character and as you all know, I knew very little of the nineties Joes so getting these Joes all together was like reliving my childhood. So any hoot, the 1991 Sonic Fighters Zap is really cool. The first great thing about this…

Welcome to the Outpost. Today we are discussing 2014 G.I.Joe vehicles. There were 2 battle packs put out this year and I was able to get one of them. The Battle Below Zero Cobra Wolf and Ghost Hawk is an awesome set and I’m glad I picked these up. The Wolf is just pure gold and anyone who loves the original Ghost Hawk will love this winter version. The Danger at the Dock Night Raft and Vamp is one I wanted but could not find. This one would have been sweet…

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m checking out a G.I.Joe character that changed the whole Cobra operation. Serpentor was created by Dr. Mindbender and it was the turning point for Cobra Commander as the leader of the Cobra organization. Arise Serpentor Arise is one of my favorite series of the G.I. Joe animated series. The episodes introduced a ton of great characters including the power struggle between Serpentor, Cobra Commander, and the many other top ranking Cobra officers. When Serpentor came on the scene he was a very unique character. I had…

Welcome to the Outpost. Today we are discussing 2013 G.I.Joe vehicles. G.I.Joe was taking a turn, a hard turn and there were only 2 vehicles released into the Wild as we call it today. The Eagle Hawk AKA Tomahawk is one of the coolest helicopters and this one was a basic straight up copy of the original. There were a few upgrades and a cool pilot. Anyone who had picked up the 2009 Ghost Hawk also had the appropriate original Lift Ticket to pilot this awesome piece of machinery. This was a poor year…
