Read MoreStory By Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a 1994 G.I. Joe figure that was part of the 30th anniversary line. G.I.Joe aka Joe Colton was a neat figure using the original head sculpt of the original 12 inch Joe. This was the first Figure ever named G.I. Joe and there are only 3 other versions of which I have the 2013 Bruce Willis version but not the other 2. The original is pretty sharp and I love some of the other figures from…

Read MoreIn the pantheon of 1980s action figures, the Transformers Generation 1 Soundwave stands out as a masterpiece of design, execution, and enduring cultural appeal. Released in 1984 in the U.S., it quickly became a fan-favorite—an iconic Decepticon communications officer with a distinctive robot‑to‑microcassette‑recorder transformation.
