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…

Serpentorslair Staff, , , 1 Comment

Story by @G_I_DAVE Were back fellow fans and friends!What day is it? C’mon Mike,Mike,Mike..HUMPDAYEEE! It’s Wednesday and we’re gunna dive into another G.I. Joe Sunbow episode to see if its more silly or gritty. “Hearts and Cannons” (Sunbow Season 1, Ep 44)is pure desert-ops and armor warfare.This one starts out a bit too realistic for the times, as Cobra hits a village at night, bags the locals for labor, and Major Bludd is running the show while some lone warrior on a cliff swears vengeance. I can’t help but think…

Joes on The Rock: Why D-Day at Alcatraz Still Hits

Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

Story By Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the 1990 G.I. Joe two part episode “D-Day at Alcatraz“. I think most of the people growing up watching the Sunbow cartoon would agree the Dic era was a little off the wall, but there is still some entertainment value and the characters still are pretty interesting. The D-Day at Alcatraz episodes were interesting to me. Although I always wished Metal Head was a bit more of a serious character my son did point out to…

Diving Deep with Destro’s Frogmen! G.I. Joe 1990 Undertow Figure Review

Story By Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at 1990 Undertow. His file card lists him as Destro’s frogmen, and an elite diver with a special designed suit to dive through any environment such as oil and sludge. Undertow Does make his way into the animated series and into the comics for what I could gather, but even AI mode on Google could not confirm, so maybe one of our comic experts here can confirm that. This figure is sharp looking and has some really…

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the last episode of the G.I. Joe Cartoon in 1986, episode 30 “Into your tent I will silently creep”. 1986 started out with one of my favorite mini series “Arise Serpentor Arise” and finished with a episode that didn’t quite close out the year. Never the less this episode starts out with Cross Country and the Joes being attacked in the snow by a bunch of Tele Vipers with short sleeves on. In the end they…

From Toys to Toons: How the 1980s Revolutionized Cartoons and the Toy Industry

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 0 comment

Throughout the 1980s, Saturday morning and weekday afternoon television screens were filled with action-packed cartoons starring colorful heroes and villains, often mirroring the hottest toys on store shelves. Transformers, G.I. Joe, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, and Thundercats were just a few of the wildly successful animated series based on toy lines. However, what many don’t realize is that before the 1980s, these types of shows were considered illegal. A shift in regulations opened the floodgates, forever changing the landscape of animation and the toy industry in America.…
