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 back at the G.I.Joe 1989 Cobra H.I.S.S. II. The original Hiss was an awesome vehicle and one I had as a kid. I got it second hand from my cousin and had many great battles with it. The original Hiss mold has been used many times over and there are several versions with this original mold. When 89 rolled around I had a much deeper appreciation for the design of vehicles then I did back in the…
