Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a G.I. Joe vehicle that is under appreciated in my opinion. In 1993 Hasbro was still making some cool vehicles. At this point there had been a wide range of small, medium, and large vehicles in the Joe franchise, some of which were awesome and down right EPIC and some that weren’t as glorious. The Detonator is a large Cobra vehicle that I never hear anything about. This is a cool unique Cobra Vehicle that was…

Story by Mitchell Smith Hello everybody. Today I’m taking a look at prosthetics, particularly prosthetic arms. Lost limbs have long been replaced, improved, and even glorified on the Hollywood Big Screen. When we think about the invention of prosthetic arms, probably our first image is the pirate with a hook. The hook has long been associated with pirates even creating famous characters like Captain Hook from Peter Pan and James Hook from Pirates of the Caribbean. Back in 1960 there was a 13 episode western called Tate. Tate played by…
