For many fans who grew up in the 1980s, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero and Star Trek: The Next Generation occupied completely different corners of their imagination. One was a world of laser fire, masked villains, and elite special missions. The other explored diplomacy, exploration, and humanity’s future among the stars. Yet, thanks to two legendary performers, those worlds became more connected than most fans ever realized. The bridge between Cobra Island and the USS Enterprise wasn’t built with phasers or F.A.N.G. helicopters. It was built by Chris Latta…

For years, G.I. Joe fans have dreamed of seeing their favorite franchise receive the kind of big-screen treatment it has always deserved. While previous live-action films delivered explosive action and impressive visual effects, many longtime collectors and comic fans felt they never truly captured the heart of what made A Real American Hero such a cultural phenomenon.

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Super7 is putting out some really cool O-Ring G.I. Joe figures. Although the price is a bit steep these figures are definitely plastic crack. In an attempt to find the illustrious Fatal Fluffy I landed Ramar and Duke from the original mini series. I Really love these modern O-Ring figures even though they are not quite the same as the original eighties and nineties figures, it’s nice getting some of the great characters we never got as kids.

When it comes to iconic villains of the 1980s, Cobra Commander slithers to the top of the list. As the ruthless and often theatrically over-the-top leader of the terrorist organization Cobra in the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero franchise, this serpentine schemer has undergone more transformations than a chameleon at a costume party. From animated series to comics, action figures, and live-action films, Cobra Commander has evolved with every decade, keeping his silver-tongued brand of tyranny alive and well.
