Read MoreStory by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at G.I. Joe Classified Big Ben. I don’t normally frown on figures in general and I’m not saying I don’t like Big Ben, but there are some issues.

I get figures like Tripwire, Mutt, and Scrap Iron being priced higher as they come with a lot of extra gear and/or animal. Big…

Read MoreStory by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the G.I. Joe toy line of 2009 as a whole. This was an interesting year as marketing became the driving force for toy sales.

The original Joe line was so successful that it would be nearly impossible to match that with the kids from the…
