Legendary G.I. Joe creator Larry Hama, often hailed as the godfather of the franchise, recently shared his insights on the characters he cherishes and those he’s not particularly fond of. As the saga of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero continues under Hama’s guidance, it’s evident that his deep connection to the series spans over four decades, from its Marvel Comics origins in the 1980s to its current iteration at Skybound Entertainment. With an extensive portfolio boasting over 300 issues, Hama’s intimate understanding of the G.I. Joe characters is unparalleled.…

In this week’s G.I. Joe ‘Inside the Filecards‘, I’m Skipping around and going straight to the Crimson Guards. They are “Cobra Elite Troopers” with a PMS of “Undercover Espionage” and SMS of “Accounting”. Their filecard describes them as the “elite shock troopers” of the Cobra legions and later states that they are “too precious to be wasted on the conventional battlefield”. So basically their filecard contradicts itself. Shock troopers by definition are the “door kickers” and the first in a battle. They rely on violence of action to get the…

G.I. Joe’s Cobra Commander is listed as “Intelligence” for his PMS and “Ordnance, Experimental Weaponry” as his SMS. Yes it should be “Ordnance” and not “Ordinance” as the two have different meanings. Cobra Commander relies on revolutions and chaos in order to control the world. States he has led uprisings in the Middle-East and Southeast Asia and other troubled spots. Responsible for kidnapping scientists, military leaders and businessmen. So the fact that “Intelligence” is listed as a military specialty and he has led uprisings in various parts of the world…

Part 1: The Baroness Rises Anastasia DeCobray was born into a world of privilege and excess.

Anastasia yearned for something more than the life of decadence that had been laid out for her. Her journey into radicalism began in the hallowed halls of an Ivy League university. Surrounded by like-minded students who decried the injustices of the world, Anastasia found…

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the the 1989, 4 episode G.I. Joe mini series “Operation Dragonfire”. For me and I’m sure many others out there we had 12 inch Joes, 1982 Joes, and grew up on the original GI Joe animated series. The 1987 GI Joe the movie was when I stopped watching GI Joe. Not for any reason other than I was getting older and was playing sports, working, and partying and didn’t have the time. Somewhere in the world…

G.I.JOE UNDERAPPRECATED FEATURING 1994 STAR BRIGADE COBRA COMMANDER!

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a popular character but a 1994 version that in my opinion is under appreciated. Cobra Commander has always been a fan favorite and the original villain for GI Joe. The 1994 Star Brigade is an awesome version that many passed off as not a good Cobra Commander. Personally 1994 was past my prime but getting this version as an adult was really a great and cool version. I know a lot of people my age who were also well past…

Welcome to the Outpost. 1987 is a year a lot of G.I. Joe fans started to loose interest. The original fans were getting older and some did not like the whole Cobra La theme. Then there were those who were just getting interested in G.I. Joe. For me I was just getting rolling. I loved the movie and once again my brothers and I got most of the vehicles and figures from this year. This year I knew what was mine was theirs and what was theirs was mine. I…
