G.I.Joe 1988 Vehicles Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

August 26, 2020August 26, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m talking 1988 G.I.Joe vehicles as a whole. This year had a lot of futuristic vehicles but there was an awesome line up of staple vehicles. The Warthog was a really cool military based vehicle and came with an awesome SGT. Slaughter with a removable hat. The Rolling Thunder is an awesome vehicle and I am working on a full discussion on it for the near future. The Desert Fox is one I recently did a discussion on and just a cool vehicle all around. The Phantom X-19 is one of…

G.I.Joe ‘Cobra Troopers 82’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

August 24, 2020August 24, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m checking out another original G.I.Joe straight arm figure and original character from 1982. Well actually I’m checking out 2, the Cobra Officer and Cobra Trooper. The original villain for G.I. Joe. This was a trooper with a masked mouth and open eyes. Guess they were ready for Covid. These were a cool design back in the day and even now the new 6 inch Cobra Island soldier has a blue uniform and masked face. The 82 figure took different parts and made 2 soldiers with a couple…

G.I.Joe ‘Fast Draw’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

August 23, 2020August 23, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m getting into a very unique G.I.Joe character from 1987 ‘Fast Draw‘. Fast Draw is another character that was really cool but did not get developed in the cartoon or comics. This was a year I got a ton of Joes for Christmas and Fast Draw was one of the figures I got that year. Fast Draw is more of a futuristic looking character, and fitting for the year. I loved this figure as a kid the missiles were very cool, the triggers, and his uniform including the helmet.…

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

August 20, 2020August 20, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting1 Comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m getting into one of the limited G.I.Joe vehicles from 1994, the Cobra Scorpion. For the longest time I thought this was a small ATV, but the other day I took a little closer look at it in a video review and discovered this a full size jeep. This was one of the most pitiful years for the amount of vehicles produced, but this one is pretty cool. It is a 2 seater and the hood lifts up forward to reveal an engine that looks like it has…

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

August 19, 2020August 19, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. In 1988 G.I.Joe was already on a slow decline, there were still a lot of cool figures and vehicles but the cartoon wasn’t what it used to be. Shockwave was in the cartoon but I don’t think his character was developed. I’m not sure if the comics dove a little further into who he was but I’m curious to track down some with him in it. I remember getting Shockwave for Christmas and although there were several nice figures from this year, I think Shockwave stood out above the rest. He is…

G.I.Joe ‘1987 Vehicles’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

August 16, 2020August 16, 2020 Serpentorslair Staff0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Many might argue G.I. Joe vehicles were on a decline in 1987, but this was a year I got a lot of vehicles for Christmas and it is one of my favorite years. First up on my list is one I had and it is one of the best vehicles and one that gets overlooked a lot and that is the Mobile Command Center. This thing had a ton of play value and for any Star Wars fans it had a bit of a Sand Crawler feel, so…

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

August 14, 2020August 14, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Happy Friday everyone. Today I’m getting into one of the most popular G.I.Joe characters from 1982, Scarlett. Scarlett was unique in many ways in 1982. The only women on the team and she had a unique uniform, weapon, and of course she had the scarlet red hair. She has had several upgraded figures but her classic 1982 outfit has always been my favorite. Scarlett has a recent 6 inch figure that is out now and although they never made a 12 inch figure of her I recently custom made one that didn’t…

Snake Eyes: G.I.Joe Origins Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost. I haven’t looked to much into the new G.I.Joe Snake Eyes movie till recently. I was trying to not get too worked up waiting for a new release date. I caught a trailer the other day so I decided to take a look at some of the cast. A couple actors stood right out to me and I started to get excited about them and the upcoming movie. Peter Mensah is the first one I noticed. He has played parts in movies such as 300, Hidalgo, and Avatar.…

‘The Rock’ as Roadblock in G.I.Joe Retaliation Story By Mitchell Smith!

August 10, 2020August 10, 2020 Serpentorslair StaffDwayne "The Rock" Johnson, G.I.Joe, G.I.Joe Retaliation, Movies, Paramount Pictures0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m talking about The Rock. I think The Rock was a good fit for Roadblock in G.I.Joe Retaliation, but would he have been more successful if they had casted him as The Rock much like they did Sgt. Slaughter back in the day? He already had a cool name that would have fit right in and he was already a household name in wrestling. Maybe there was a conflict with using The Rock name. When the Sarge came in most kids probably watched WWF and the characters…

G.I.Joe ‘BATTLE FORCE 2000’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

August 7, 2020August 7, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Happy Friday all. Today I’m taking a look at the G.I.Joe Battle Force 2000 vehicles. Back in 1987 the year 2000 seemed like it was decades away, and the futuristic vehicles that combined to make a base was ingenious. As a kid I only had the Dominator. This is a cool snow vehicle that splits into a cool tank and the sidewall of the base. I loved this one and I always wished I could get them all. The Vector jet is probably the most underrated Joe jet.…

‘G.I.Joe Desert Fox’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

August 6, 2020August 6, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the 1988 G.I.Joe Desert Fox. This is one vehicle I don’t hear much about, but it is an awesome desert vehicle. I did not have one of these as a kid so I look at this one from a collector’s point of view. This is a classic looking vehicle with a bit of a modern spin. The front of the vehicle has a standard driver and passenger seat with a nice classic looking front hood. The back really is what makes…

G.I.Joe Classified ‘Cobra Island Roadblock’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost. Hope everyone is having a good summer. Retail stores are finally getting in some new G.I.Joe stock so I know many people are enjoying hunting and finding them out in the wild. There is one Joe that has made a bit of a stink. Version 2 Roadblock in the 6 inch scale. I myself passed on this Joe, but I may pick him up if my Target still has him next go round. This isn’t a horrible figure I think people have turned their nose up at him for the…

Outback’s Outpost ‘G.I.Joe 1986’ By Mitchell Smith!

August 3, 2020August 3, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. 1986 was a year for G.I.Joe, where it would be hard to top the 1985 lineup. But, this year produced so many great vehicles, it was kind of like MJ’s and the Bull’s first 3Peat. The 2 years had very awesome and unique vehicles and I love both years very much. First up is the Conquest X-30. I had one of these as a kid and I absolutely love it. I wish I would have grabbed a couple more of the modern ones when they went on…
