NINJA TURTLE NOVEMBER — #4 DONATELLO: THE MIND THAT HOLDS THE BROTHERS TOGETHER

In a world defined by ninjutsu, danger, and constant battle, it’s easy to overlook the quietest warrior in the room — but Donatello has always been the beating brain behind the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He doesn’t shout the loudest or strike the hardest. He doesn’t brood like Raphael or command like Leonardo. Donatello’s power lives in the space between thought and action — the invisible foundation that keeps the entire team standing. If the Turtles are a machine, Donatello is both the engineer and the electricity. From the moment…

Rediscovering the 1990 G.I. Joe Retaliator: Sky Patrol’s Underrated Heavy Hitter

Story By Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m sticking with G.I. Joe 1990 and a really cool vehicle with the Retaliator. I had a Dragonfly, a Tomahawk, a Mamba, a Skystorm and a Fang 2 as a kid, but the Retaliator was just past my childhood. I never knew anything about it till I got back into collecting and watched the modern series which I only watched as an adult(I use that term loosely lol). I was able to pick up a couple parts lots recently and make…

NINJA TURTLE NOVEMBER — #5 BEBOP: THE BULLDOZER OF CHAOS WITH A PUNK ROCK HEART

Before he was a warthog mutant charging headfirst into battles he barely understood, Bebop was just another street punk trying too hard to look dangerous. With his purple mohawk, mirrored shades, studded vest, and attitude louder than his clothes, Bebop wanted to be feared — but mostly, he was ignored. Then Shredder gave him exactly what he thought he wanted: power. Real, bone-crushing, wall-smashing, snorting power. And in an instant, Bebop went from background thug to one of the most recognizable villains in all of TMNT history. But the beauty…

NINJA TURTLE NOVEMBER — #6 TOKKA & RAHZAR: THE MONSTERS WHO OUTGREW THEIR MAKERS

Few villains in the TMNT universe strike the perfect balance between terrifying and strangely lovable the way Tokka and Rahzar do. Born from mutagen, manipulation, and pure chaos, these two hulking beasts were never meant to think, feel, or challenge their creators. Yet they did. And in doing so, they became icons — not just as muscle for the villains, but as tragic, memorable characters in their own right. Tokka and Rahzar first burst onto the scene in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze, initially presented…

NINJA TURTLE NOVEMBER — #7 GENERAL TRAAG: THE LIVING WAR MACHINE FROM DIMENSION X

In a universe full of mutants, monsters, and mechanical nightmares, General Traag stands apart as something far more terrifying: a soldier carved from stone and hatred, a commander who bleeds war the way others breathe air. In the service of Krang and the twisted realm of Dimension X, Traag marches not as a man, not as a mutant, but as a living weapon sculpted from rock and forged in endless battle. His presence in the TMNT universe isn’t subtle — it’s seismic. Dimension X is a place built on chaos,…

NINJA TURTLE NOVEMBER — #8 KRANG (ANDROID BODY): THE COLOSSAL ENGINE OF ONE BEING’S CONQUEST

If Shredder is the rage of the TMNT universe, then Krang is its cold, calculating ambition — a living brain from another dimension whose hunger for domination eclipses anything Earth has ever known. But Krang, in his natural squid-like form, is not physically imposing. He’s grotesque, brilliant, and dangerous, yes — but limited. So when he steps into his towering android body, he becomes something else entirely: a titan of absurdity and terror, stomping through New York like a pink overlord cuddled inside an unstoppable machine. Krang’s origin is tied…

NINJA TURTLE NOVEMBER — #9 SHREDDER THE BLADED SHADOW WHO FORGED THE TURTLES’ DESTINY

Long before the Turtles ever picked up their weapons… before the sewer became a sanctuary… before “mutant” meant hero… there was Shredder — a name spoken with equal parts fear, hatred, and dark respect. In a world overflowing with mutants and monsters, Shredder stands apart as something more grounded and far more terrifying: a human who chose to become a weapon. Clad in armor lined with menacing steel blades, Shredder is the embodiment of vengeance sharpened to a lethal point. He is not a creature twisted by mutagen or fate…

NINJA TURTLE NOVEMBER — #10 APRIL O’NEIL: THE WOMAN WHO BROUGHT THE TURTLES INTO THE LIGHT

Before the world ever knew four heroes in green, before the sewer lair became iconic, and long before mutants and madmen crashed through New York City on a daily basis, one woman stood at the center of it all — fearless, determined, and dressed head-to-toe in a bright yellow jumpsuit that became as legendary as the Turtles themselves. April O’Neil wasn’t a sidekick, a tag-along, or a background character. She was the bridge between the hidden and the known, the first human face to believe in the Turtles when the…

The Highwaymen 2019 Reviewed!

Story By Mitchell Smith Hello everybody. Today I’m taking a look at the 2019 film “The Highwaymen”. The film stars Kevin Costner as Frank Hamer and Woody Harrelson as Maney Gault 2 former Texas Rangers hired by the government to track down the notorious Bonnie and Clyde. Bonnie and Clyde made quite a name for themselves in the early 30’s as they robbed banks, gas stations, and committed many murders. The Highwaymen takes a different look at Bonnie and Clyde as it follows Frank and Maney as they try and…

NINJA TURTLE NOVEMBER — #11 CASEY JONES: THE MASKED VIGILANTE WITH A HEART OF FIRE

Long before he ever crossed paths with the Turtles, Casey Jones was already a legend whispered through dim alleys and empty playgrounds — a vigilante prowling the streets of New York armed with nothing but sports equipment, raw fury, and an unwavering sense of justice. While the Turtles fought monsters, ninjas, aliens, and mutants, Casey fought something far more human: the everyday cruelty of the city. And he fought it with the intensity of a man who had been broken, rebuilt, and sharpened into a weapon. Casey Jones isn’t a…

Remembering Bullhorn: A Look Back at the 1990 G.I. Joe Era at The Outpost

Story By Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. I’ve recently been watching GI Joe episodes and getting into the 1990 run. For me I was a diehard 1982 fan even going back to the 12 inch figures. I missed out on most 83-85 figures but had enough to harness a love that would carry me into my future as a collector. I did receive a great amount of Joe figures and vehicles from 86-89 and 1990 would be the last year my brothers and I would receive any Joes as…

NINJA TURTLE NOVEMBER — #12 USAGI YOJIMBO: THE WANDERING RONIN WHO WALKED OUT OF ANOTHER WORLD

In a universe overflowing with mutants, aliens, mad scientists, and interdimensional tyrants, few TMNT characters arrive with the quiet strength and dignity of Usagi Yojimbo. He isn’t a product of mutagen. He isn’t connected to Shredder or the Foot Clan. He doesn’t come from New York, Dimension X, or even the same reality. Usagi steps into the Turtles’ world like a wandering myth — a lone samurai from a land shaped by honor, tradition, and ancient spirits. Unlike many crossovers, Usagi Yojimbo didn’t begin in the TMNT storyline. He was…
