“Reviving the 1980s Classic: Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors Toy Line and Cartoon”!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , , , , , , , , , 0 comment

In the mid-1980s, Mattel introduced a groundbreaking toy line known as Wheeled Warriors, blending creativity, action figures, and vehicles in a unique and innovative way. Paired with a thrilling 65-episode animated series called “Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors,” the franchise had immense potential. However, despite its innovative design and durable parts, the toy line struggled to connect with its animated counterpart, which ultimately contributed to its short-lived existence. The Wheeled Warriors toy line, released in 1985, was a collection of 13 items, each with distinctive features that set them apart…

G.I. JOE UNDERAPPRECIATED FEATURING THE STREET FIGHTER ‘SONIC BOOM’!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , 0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a vehicle that I feel is under appreciated the G.I. Joe Street Fighter Sonic Boom Tank. I’ve had my eye on the 1994 Street Fighter Sonic Boom for some time. This was a repaint of the 1991 Cobra Paralyzer, but I like the green better than yellow. I also thought about hunting down a Paralyzer or at least the gun which is green to make the Sonic Boom all green. The one I picked up recently is missing the spring…

G.I. JOE INSIDE THE FILE CARDS FEATURING “SHORT-FUZE’!

Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

Today we look at G.I. Joe Short-Fuze. He is listed as “Artillery” for PMS and “Infantry Engineer” for SMS. What is interesting is there is not the usual longer space between “Infantry” and “Engineer” like what you see on other other OG13 filecards in regards to SMS. It most likely was a printing error but provided it is not then an “Infantry Engineer” would be in all cases a Combat Engineer (12B MOS). It lists Engineer School further in his filecard. Provided Short-Fuze started his Army career as a Combat…

G.I. JOE UNDERAPPRECIATED FEATURING THE ‘SHARK 9000’!

Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a G.I. Joe vehicle that I feel is under appreciated. In 1993 G..I Joe was on a hard slide. There were several factors contributing to it, but Hasbro still had a few cool vehicles that nobody seems to talk about. The 1984 WHALE is one of the best water vessels with so many features and so many memories in the cartoons, but another good size water vessel with lots of room for Joes is the Shark 9000 with v3 Cutter.…
