Read MoreStory By Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. 1994 was a sad year for GI Joe fans. Hasbro decided to end the 3-3/4 inch Joe line. Most of the eighties kids who had grow up on Joes now were in high school, college, or starting a family. Joes faded out and most of us didn’t even know it at the time, Me being one of them as I graduated high school this year and started college. Nevertheless years later I rediscovered GI Joe. There was a vast sea of Joe…

Read MoreStory By Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. 1987 was an interesting year. This was the year Aretha Franklin was inducted to the Hall of Fame, the Montreal Expos were still a team and G.I. Joe had potentially peaked and was on an uncontrollable slide. There were still some awesome vehicles being produced like the Cobra Wolf, Battle Force 2000 base, and one of the holy grails themselves the Defiant space shuttle. There were also a great lineup of characters such as Falcon, Tunnel Rat and Law and Order from…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the 1994 G.I. Joe Manta Ray. This year was slim picking for GI Joe vehicles. Although the Manta Ray is not a vehicle many people are after it is a neat little vehicle with a few gimmicks that may have been fun back in the day. This does inflate much like the inner tubes at the Lazy River, so this would have been fun in the pool or even at bath time I suppose. Underneath there is a rubber band…

Read MoreStory by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m checking out the 2006 G.I. Joe Sigma 6 Mantis Mech Strike with Destro. I’ve been doing a lot of Sigma Six 8 inch figures, but this is the first Sigma 2.5 inch figure I have touched on. The 2.5 figures themselves lack a lot of articulation. Some are just figurines with no articulations and this Destro has arms and legs that move similar to old school Fisher Price and Star Wars. I feel these could have had more articulation but…

Read MoreStory by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at G.I. Joe Pythona. Particularly a 6 inch custom I got on EBay. The 1987 Gi Joe The Movie introduced many characters. Some, people loved some, people did not. I was one of those kids that loved all the new characters including Cobra La. The opening scene featured one character that was a great character but there was no figure to back up that coolness. Pythona has always been one of my favorite characters. She was stealthy,…
Read MoreStory by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the 2007 G.I. Joe Sigma 6 Recondo. As many of you know the Sigma line was short lived and many of the people who would have been Interested in these as collectors were probably starting or raising a family. Money was tight. I remember looking at this back in the day and being like $15, wow that’s too much for my blood. Now that I’m older and my kids are all but grown up I enjoy…
