Read MoreShipwreck’s Journal Entry Date: September 14, 1985 Ahoy there, shipmates! Shipwreck here, and I’ve decided to put pen to paper today to spill the beans about a little somethin’ that’s been on my mind for quite some time now. It’s not often that a sailor like me finds himself in a situation like this, but heck, if it ain’t a tale worth tellin’, then I don’t know what is. Now, I reckon y’all know me as the wisecrackin’, parrot-totin’ sailor who’s always up for an adventure with the G.I. Joe…
Read MoreToday we look at the G.I. Joe Cobra Officer, whose PMS is “Infantry” and SMS is “Artillery, Intelligence”. From a military perspective that is three branches, which would be difficult to achieve. But maybe Cobra trains their officers just enough that they are “jack of all trades” and not necessarily a master of any. It also lists on the officer filecard that they are martial arts experts, masters of disguise, deceit, and demolitions. So three options come to mind: do officers come from the regular trooper ranks (since both have…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a 1988 G.I. Joe figure that I feel is under appreciated, “Hard Ball“. Hardball was part of the yearly sports figure that Hasbro started doing in 1985 with Bazooka. I did not have a Hardball back in the day, but this is a really cool figure. I did play baseball in high school and much like Hardball I played centerfield and no scouts were looking at me. All jokes aside I don’t remember Hardball in the cartoon and I couldn’t…

Read MoreWelcome 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…
