Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a G.I. Joe character that is way under appreciated in my opinion. Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, and the Arashikage clan have had many plots revolving around them. There have been many characters from the clan including Jinx, Nunchuck, and Kamakura. The Blind Master has been part of the live action film, The Hard Master got a modern figure, but one of my favorite characters Soft Master has nothing to show for. There is a bit of story about Soft Master…

Read MoreStory by Staff Writer “Shaft” G.I. Joe Clutch is listed as a PMS of “Transportation” and SMS of “Infantry”. Looking up the Transportation Corps for the US Army the closest MOS that would be relevant to Clutch is the 88M Motor Transport Operator, which is basically a military truck driver. It is a combat service support position so he would not have been on the front lines fighting or anything. I think it would be more logical that Clutch started out as an 88M then re-classed as an 11B infantry…

Read MoreStory by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a G.I. Joe figure that I feel is under appreciated. The 1991 Desert Scorpion is a really cool figure. I did not have one as a kid but this is one that would have been a cool army builder, but also would make a cool stand alone character. In 1991 the US was in the middle of a campaign to neutralize the Middle East. GI Joe tapped into that a little with vehicles like the 1992…

Read MoreG.I. Joe HISS Drivers are listed as “HISS Driver” for their PMS and “Mechanical and Electrical Systems” for their SMS. Also states they are “selected from the best and most evil of Cobra Command’s thousands of yearly recruits”. Not sure if that means they spend some time as a Cobra Trooper first then get selected into the Hisstank branch once they have proven themselves? If that is the case I would imagine it would be difficult for Cobra to fill their Hisstanks up quick enough due to attrition and needing…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a vehicle that I feel is under appreciated the G.I. Joe Street Fighter Sonic Boom Tank. I’ve had my eye on the 1994 Street Fighter Sonic Boom for some time. This was a repaint of the 1991 Cobra Paralyzer, but I like the green better than yellow. I also thought about hunting down a Paralyzer or at least the gun which is green to make the Sonic Boom all green. The one I picked up recently is missing the spring…
