In the heart of the G.I. Joe headquarters, a sense of urgency resonated through the walls as General Hawk addressed a select team of Joes. Flint, Lady Jaye, Snake Eyes, and Roadblock stood at attention, absorbing every detail. “Joes, we’ve got an extraordinary mission. It’s time to bring one of our own back home. Grunt, who stayed behind in the parallel universe we discovered, needs our help,” General Hawk announced solemnly. As they prepared for the journey, Duke, who had been on the original mission, briefed them on the altered…

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look back at G.I. Joe in 2012 as a whole. This was a good year but things were sliding quickly in the wrong direction in my opinion. As we all know some of the figures got real cheap. Some of the retaliation figures looked cool but had minimal articulation. There were a few of my favorite characters that were exclusives like Voltar, Horror Show, and Footloose, all that I would love to have. Footloose was one of the first figures I bought…

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the new G.I. Joe Classified Shooter. This is a solid figure. I like the idea they got this character from the original concepts, but Shooter never became a character and was said to be a prank back in the day. She is a nice throwback to the original 13 and would have been cool but I believe they stopped at 13 to honor the 13 stripes on the Flag. Any hoot I did not get my…
