Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m checking out another original G.I.Joe straight arm figure and original character from 1982. Well actually I’m checking out 2, the Cobra Officer and Cobra Trooper. The original villain for G.I. Joe. This was a trooper with a masked mouth and open eyes. Guess they were ready for Covid. These were a cool design back in the day and even now the new 6 inch Cobra Island soldier has a blue uniform and masked face. The 82 figure took different parts and made 2 soldiers with a couple…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m getting into a very unique G.I.Joe character from 1987 ‘Fast Draw‘. Fast Draw is another character that was really cool but did not get developed in the cartoon or comics. This was a year I got a ton of Joes for Christmas and Fast Draw was one of the figures I got that year. Fast Draw is more of a futuristic looking character, and fitting for the year. I loved this figure as a kid the missiles were very cool, the triggers, and his uniform including the helmet.…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m getting into one of the limited G.I.Joe vehicles from 1994, the Cobra Scorpion. For the longest time I thought this was a small ATV, but the other day I took a little closer look at it in a video review and discovered this a full size jeep. This was one of the most pitiful years for the amount of vehicles produced, but this one is pretty cool. It is a 2 seater and the hood lifts up forward to reveal an engine that looks like it has…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. In 1988 G.I.Joe was already on a slow decline, there were still a lot of cool figures and vehicles but the cartoon wasn’t what it used to be. Shockwave was in the cartoon but I don’t think his character was developed. I’m not sure if the comics dove a little further into who he was but I’m curious to track down some with him in it. I remember getting Shockwave for Christmas and although there were several nice figures from this year, I think Shockwave stood out above the rest. He is…

I’m gonna go on the Record and say.. Im Glad I did. Sure it has its flaws, but once in hand… I dont know it has a certain “charm” to them..all on its own. The Super7 reissues are THEE Better representation of the iconic figure but what they hey… so Lets take a…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Happy Friday everyone. Today I’m getting into one of the most popular G.I.Joe characters from 1982, Scarlett. Scarlett was unique in many ways in 1982. The only women on the team and she had a unique uniform, weapon, and of course she had the scarlet red hair. She has had several upgraded figures but her classic 1982 outfit has always been my favorite. Scarlett has a recent 6 inch figure that is out now and although they never made a 12 inch figure of her I recently custom made one that didn’t…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Happy Friday all. Today I’m taking a look at the G.I.Joe Battle Force 2000 vehicles. Back in 1987 the year 2000 seemed like it was decades away, and the futuristic vehicles that combined to make a base was ingenious. As a kid I only had the Dominator. This is a cool snow vehicle that splits into a cool tank and the sidewall of the base. I loved this one and I always wished I could get them all. The Vector jet is probably the most underrated Joe jet.…
