Star Wars Return Of The Jedi Black Series 6″ Endor Trooper Review!

Welcome to Hondo’s Hideout. Today I’m taking a look at the 6 inch Star Wars Black Series Return of The Jedi Endor Trooper. A cool trooper to say the least but Hasbro missed out on a huge selling point. So this has 2 faces much like the Hoth trooper, but they are not compatible. Really Hasbro are you trying not to increase sales? I’m no brain Surgeon but making the Hoth trooper compatible with the Endor trooper, right there you are selling 4 figures instead of 1. Deep breath. Put…

G.I. JOE INSIDE THE FILE CARDS FEATURING “GRUNT”!

Today’s featured G.I. Joe is Grunt (my first Joe). Grunt is listed as “Infantry” for PMS and “Small Arms Armorer” and “Artillery Coordinator” as his SMS. The codename “Grunt” to me signifies that he has always been just a “grunt”. However with the addition of small arms armorer and artillery coordinator that to me would indicate he is more than just a typical “grunt”. An “artillery coordinator” sounds very much like a US Army MOS 13F Fire Support Specialist. These are the soldiers that sneak in close to enemy lines…

TRANSFORMERS G2 Legacy Evolution “Jazz” Quick Review!

Story by Mitchell Smith Hello everyone. Today I am taking a look at the newly released Transformers G2 Legacy Evolution Jazz from Hasbro. The original Jazz is awesome, and I thought this orange, red, and yellow version really popped. The colors seemed fitting for Jazz. I’ve seen a couple others with some bright colors repainted and it was like what was Hasbro thinking, but this one was pretty cool. I like it better in robot mode as opposed to the car mode, but either way this is a cool looking…

G.I. JOE UNDERAPPRECIATED FEATURING “DOWNTOWN”!

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a G.I. Joe figure from 1989, Downtown. This is a solid character that I believe is under appreciated. From what I can see he was slightly used in the cartoon and comics. I had the original Mortar soldier Short-Fuze and he was awesome. I also had Downtown who got his name on the basketball court. 3 pointers weren’t as popular back when this character was created but Hama had the right idea when he wrote his file card. Downtown is…

Remembering Music Legend Jimmy Buffett!

Story By Mitchell Smith James William Buffett was born in 1946 in Mississippi. Buffett whose music is laid back and upbeat has a number of signature songs. “Margaritaville” is a top and back in the day I did a pretty bad ass karaoke cover of this song. “Cheeseburger in Paradise” is another great classic song that I should have tossed into my karaoke playlist, and round it out with “Why Don’t We get Drunk”. Buffett learned guitar while attending Auburn University. After earning his bachelor’s degree in history in 1969,…
