Read MoreThe G.I. Joe franchise is thriving like never before, with nostalgia-fueled enthusiasm propelling both collectors and new fans to celebrate the brand. As the HasLab team considers future crowdfunded projects, one vehicle stands out as the perfect candidate: the iconic Killer W.H.A.L.E. (Warrior: Hovering Assault Launching Envoy). Here’s why this legendary hovercraft deserves its moment in the spotlight—and why fans will rally behind it. A Timeless G.I. Joe Icon The Killer W.H.A.L.E., introduced in 1984, remains one of the most beloved vehicles in the G.I. Joe arsenal. Its massive presence,…
Read MoreStory By Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look back at a 1987 G.I. Joe character who was over shadowed by many other characters that year especially characters from GI Joe the Movie. Many great characters like Fast Draw, Sneak Peak and Crazylegs were minor characters at best but I think could be utilized in the modern era of Gi Joe. Psyche-Out is also one of those characters who really doesn’t have much of a story in the comics or animated show. Mostly what we know…
Read MoreStory By Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m rolling it back to G.I. Joe 1988 and Voltar. This was a great year all around for me. I was working, playing sports, and still was enjoying the awesome craftsmanship and overall heart and talent put into new characters. Even though I don’t remember this character being in an animated series the figure was one I had as a kid and was really cool. Voltar is Destro’s Iron Grenadier General. He has a very unique look and I wish he…
Read MoreStory By Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at G.I.Joe Footloose as a whole. In 1985 I stood there in Ames department store. There in front of me lied the dilemma of choosing 2 out of the 6 Joes that hung on the peg in front of me. Shipwreck was my first choice and second I remember Dusty, Flint and a couple others not coming to focus in my old foggy mind, but among the rest was Footloose, who I narrowed down relatively quickly if…

Read MoreStory by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost! Today, I’m taking a look at the G.I. Joe 1986 Cobra Bunker. The 1986 G.I. Joe Cobra Bunker is a really cool playset. It’s small but packs a big punch. It’s a really cool small bunker where Cobra can set up base and defend their post. I really don’t know how Hasbro has not tapped into the small playsets for the Classified series to give figures some depth and a purpose, such as defending their post. Welcome to The Outpost! Today, I’m…

Ito is Japanese and Korean who had a hard time fitting in back…
