Author: Larry HamaArt: Chris MooneyhamCovers: Andy Kubert and various others for variants On to the issue We begin Issue 305 with events unfolding, as Cobra Commander and some Vipers are examining the cyborg remains of those that self destructed at the end of issue 304. Cobra Commander has one Techno-Viper doing preliminary forensic analysis on the remains. (Cobra Commander must also be trying to acquire more Techno-Vipers to his ranks, just like G.I. Joe Classified action figure collectors.) Cobra Commander deduces that the cyborgs were spying on him while he…

Story by Staff Writer ‘Shaft’ Today we look at G.I. Joe Mutt whose PMS is “Dog Handler” and SMS is “Infantry”. Nowadays a military working dog handler in the US Army is handled by a soldier in the Military Police Branch, specifically the 31K Working Dog Handler MOS. So a modern take on Mutt is he enlisted into Infantry as an 11B before re-classing as a 31K. However during Hama’s time he may have been thinking of Mutt more as an Infantryman trained as a dog handler during the Vietnam…

Story By Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the G.I. Joe Cobra Eel. One thing is for sure whether you are an old school Joe fan, a new fan, or middle of the road fan, the 1980s Joes were all pretty awesome. One of the coolest figures in 1985 was the Cobra Eel. We already had Torpedo from 1994 and we would soon get Wet-Suit in 1986, so having the Eel was perfect for the underwater battles. I did not have an Eel as…

Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look back at G.I. Joe in 2018 as a whole. It was a bitter sweet year as the 3-3/4 figures would come to a screeching halt. Although the past couple of years were almost club and convention exclusives, it was still the end of an era filled with awesome figures and vehicles. There were some great figures in 2018, but even YoJoe.com gave up on completing their archives. They listed Rampart and a female Cobra Officer and their list was done. Other…

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look back at the G.I. Joe’s released in 2014 . I thought this was a bitter sweet year. This was the 50th anniversary year and we got a few good Joes but the best one at retail that I only got recently is Leatherneck. This was a great figure and one of the best modern figures that captured the original magic of Leatherneck. I had the original as a kid and I was excited to finally get this guy. Cobra had a…

In the heart of the G.I. Joe headquarters, a sense of urgency resonated through the walls as General Hawk addressed a select team of Joes. Flint, Lady Jaye, Snake Eyes, and Roadblock stood at attention, absorbing every detail. “Joes, we’ve got an extraordinary mission. It’s time to bring one of our own back home. Grunt, who stayed behind in the parallel universe we discovered, needs our help,” General Hawk announced solemnly. As they prepared for the journey, Duke, who had been on the original mission, briefed them on the altered…

Story by Staff Writer Shaft Today we look at G.I. Joe Steeler. His PMS is “Armor” and SMS is “Artillery” and “Transportation”. He is listed as a “Tank Commander”. A tank commander is actually a position in an armor platoon in the US Army (four tanks per platoon, four soldiers per tank). So there are four “tank commanders” per platoon, each leading their own tank. The actual platoon leader would be an officer of the rank of lieutenant and also serve as that tanks “tank commander”. The other three tank…
