Exploring the Legacy: A Look at the 1995 12-Inch SGT Savage Figure

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the 1995 stand alone 12 inch G.I. Joe SGT Savage figure. As we all know the long run of GI Joe O-ring figures ran from 1982-1994, and the glorious days of GI Joe came to a halt. With it came some trials of some other lines including GI Joe Extreme and SGT. Savage. The SGT Savage figures were cool and the 12 inch figure was pretty awesome. He has a lot of accessories and a tough…

G.I. Joe Classified Big Ben Review: Unveiling the Pros and Cons of this Action Figure!

Story 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…
