The new Roadblock is based on his iconic original 1984 look, and will feature a set of more realistic weapons as fans have been asking for. In addition, Hasbro has said that…

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m looking at a staple G.I.Joe vehicle the Cobra F.A.N.G. This was an interesting vehicle introduced in 1984 and was used in many episodes. The original is a neat vehicle and I was pleased to find the modern 2008 version. This was pretty much the original with a few minor tweaks. Finally there is the 2021 version that is a modified version but still has the classic feel. This one does come with a figure and thanks to Terry Ruin’s review a while back I…

G.I.Joe ‘Sigma Six Villains’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m talking about some of the G.I.Joe Sigma 6 villains. There are a number of versions of some of the top characters and I have a few that I’ve picked up. Cobra Commander, Destro, Zartan, Firefly, and Storm Shadow are all staple characters in the G.I.Joe world and even though these figures are a bit of an acquired taste, I think they are really cool and maybe even pushed action figures toward the 6 inch world we know today. I really like the looks of…

Welcome to the Outpost. Today we are discussing 2017 G.I.Joe vehicles. At this point in the franchise G.I. Joe had moved to an all on line market for figures and vehicles. Although there are some cool vehicles from this year most are way over my price range. First up is the BF 2000 Marauder Snowmobile. I cool looking version of the original Polar Battle Bear. The Vector X-36 Fighter Jet is a very awesome looking vehicle. I would love to have this one but for now I will have to settle for…

G.I.Joe ‘Sins of Our Fathers’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

January 25, 2021January 25, 2021 Serpentorslair StaffCobra, G.I.Joe, G.I.Joe Cartoon, Hasbro, Serpentor0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m checking out a classic G.I.Joe Cartoon episode from 1986. “Sins of Our Fathers”. This was one of my favorite seasons. In this episode Dial-Tone is sent into Cobra Territory. What he does not realize is he was tricked by General Hawk and Flint to believe he is being released by the Joe team so Cobra will hire him and not be able to detect it’s a covert operation. So Dial-Tone ends up resurrecting this giant creature who is sent to destroy Serpentor by Cobra Commander. In the end…

G.I.Joe ‘2010 Vehicles’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost. Today we are discussing 2010 G.I.Joe vehicles. There was a good success with the Rise of Cobra movie and a second G.I. Joe movie was released, The Pursuit of Cobra. With the movie came a number of vehicles. TRU had the Rise of Cobra Sting Raider. Seeing I didn’t get the original style from 2009, I picked up this cool looking camo one. This is such a great vehicle and I wish they had released the original color to retail. The Rip Attack Jet Storm Cycle and The Tiger Snake are…

G.I.Joe ‘Cobra Terrordrome’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost. Countdown to Christmas! Today I’m talking about a piece I have had the pleasure of looking at, but I have never had the pleasure of owning the G.I.Joe Cobra Terrordrome. The Terrordrome is the Cobra Base I never had. Anyone that collects Joes I think would agree that this is one of the, if not the most awesome base in the franchise. This is one of those things that may never get produced again. I would have loved to be sitting around the table with these guys when they thought up…

G.I.Joe ‘Firefly’ By Mitchell Smith!

September 30, 2020September 30, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, Cobra, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m skipping forward to discuss G.I.Joe Firefly. Firefly was added in 1984 and quickly became a staple Cobra character. The saboteur had a very unique look and eventually went hand in hand with other popular characters such as Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. The original figure has a very cool color scheme and some awesome accessories. Firefly has a great tie in story with the Hard Master’s death and he has been a huge character over the years. There have been many great upgrades and although the 90s…

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m sticking with G.I.Joe pilots and making sure I don’t leave out one of the greatest pilots ever created. 1983 had an awesome jet in the Skystriker and even though there were several Cobra jets in the cartoon 1984 needed a unique rival jet to battle the Skystriker. In comes the Cobra Rattler. Perhaps the number 1 jet ever made. The Rattler was awesome and it was one I had as a kid or at least my brother had it and we shared. Making an awesome jet…

G.I.Joe ‘Sea Ray’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m checking out the G.I.Joe 1987 Cobra Sea Ray. This also was an air and sea vehicle. The interesting thing was it was one vehicle that split into 2 different vehicles. The front part was a sub and the back part was a glider. As a whole I guess I always considered this much like the Shark and it being able to fly or dive into the ocean. This came with the driver Sea Slug. I don’t remember seeing this a lot in the cartoon and I’m not sure…

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m going to get into the 1986 G.I.Joe Cobra Night Raven. This is one of the greatest jets ever made. The Strato Viper is an awesome figure and this was a staple vehicle in the cartoon and even had an episode that focused on Slip Stream and a crashed Strato Viper. This is a vehicle I really wanted as a kid. I was 11 when it came out and I helped my father build a huge fireplace over the summer that year. It was long days mixing cement…

‘COBRA H.I.S.S.’ By Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost. I’m sticking with G.I.Joe tanks again today but this time I’m going to get into the Cobra Hiss. This was a beautiful design. The Hiss looks really bad-ass and non like the Mobat it holds multiple figures. One in the cockpit, one in the signature double cannon, and 2 standing on the rear. The Hiss was introduced in 1983 and has been a staple in the Cobra Lineup. The mold has been used many times over the years in different colors and in modern 25th style. This is just…

G.I.Joe ‘COBRA BUGG.’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

May 24, 2020May 24, 2020 Serpentorslair StaffCobra, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Today we are talking about the 1988 G.I.Joe Cobra BUGG. This is an odd looking vehicle to me. This one was definitely not modeled after a real military vehicle. There is also a very strange color scheme going on there. With that said this is one awesome Cobra vehicle, once you start seeing the play value. So I’m discussing this as a 12 year old going on 13 in 1988. The first noticeable things are the front 2 cockpits that are quite bubbly. One side is the controls to the…

G.I.Joe ‘Cobra La’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

May 17, 2020May 17, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, Cobra, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Today I want to discuss what is, what was, and what should have been. The 1987 G.I. Joe movie introduced us to Cobra La. Me personally I love this movie. Back in the day we did get a nice 3 pack of Golobulus, Nemesis Enforcer, and the Royal Guard. Golobulus looks like he got a spore tested on him, but this was one of my favorite figures from this 3 pack. He was a menacing villain and he had a perfect plan to finally take over the world, something Cobra Commander failed at many…
