G.I. JOE INSIDE THE FILE CARDS FEATURING “COBRA COMMANDER”!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , , 0 comment

G.I. Joe’s Cobra Commander is listed as “Intelligence” for his PMS and “Ordnance, Experimental Weaponry” as his SMS. Yes it should be “Ordnance” and not “Ordinance” as the two have different meanings. Cobra Commander relies on revolutions and chaos in order to control the world. States he has led uprisings in the Middle-East and Southeast Asia and other troubled spots. Responsible for kidnapping scientists, military leaders and businessmen. So the fact that “Intelligence” is listed as a military specialty and he has led uprisings in various parts of the world…

G.I. JOE UNDERAPPRECIATED FEATURING THE “RAIDER”!

Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a 1989 G.I. JOE vehicle that I feel is under appreciated the Raider. The Raider with Hot Seat is a really cool vehicle that I never hear anything about. Looking over the years a lot of the vehicles did not get a modern version. Maybe the originals are solid enough Hasbro felt they didn’t need to update them as many of the modern figures did fit the original vehicles. The Raider is featured in the opening credits of the miniseries…

G.I. JOE STORIES – “Zarana’s Initiation”!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , , 0 comment

Zarana had always been a wild spirit. Growing up, she had felt like an outsider, a rebel with no cause. That was until she met her older brother Zartan, the enigmatic master of disguise who would change her life forever. Now, she stood at the precipice of her initiation into the criminal Dreadnok biker gang, and the tasks before her were nothing short of daunting. The moon hung low in the night sky, casting eerie shadows over the decrepit factory where the Dreadnoks had made their headquarters. Zarana’s heart pounded…

G.I. JOE UNDERAPPRECIATED FEATURING “Fast-Draw”!

Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a G.I. Joe figure from 1987, Fast Draw. In my opinion this is an under appreciated figure. I had Fast Draw as a kid and this was a cool unique figure back in the day. He has 2 missiles ready to fire at his target. Maybe not the most realistic military concept, but I love the futuristic concept figures. This color scheme is unique and I could have seen him sliding into the Slaughters Marauders lineup…

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , 0 comment

Part 1: The Baroness Rises Anastasia DeCobray was born into a world of privilege and excess. The spoiled offspring of European aristocrats, she grew up in opulent castles and attended the finest schools money could buy. But beneath her luxurious facade, a restlessness simmered within her. Anastasia yearned for something more than the life of decadence that had been laid out for her. Her journey into radicalism began in the hallowed halls of an Ivy League university. Surrounded by like-minded students who decried the injustices of the world, Anastasia found…

G.I. JOE INSIDE THE FILE CARDS FEATURING “Rock-n-Roll”!

Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

Today’s focus is the G.I. Joe character Rock-n-Roll. He is possibly the simplest of all the OG13 to figure out as he only has “Infantry” listed as his PMS and “PT Instructor” as his SMS. So going with that he is an 11B Infantryman who may have attained a Special Qualifications Identifier (SQI) H of Instructor. It is very possible he went to classes for it and attained this SQI and briefly was an instructor. Years ago the US Army had a program where those who couldn’t meet the minimum…

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , 0 comment

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the the 1989, 4 episode G.I. Joe mini series “Operation Dragonfire”. For me and I’m sure many others out there we had 12 inch Joes, 1982 Joes, and grew up on the original GI Joe animated series. The 1987 GI Joe the movie was when I stopped watching GI Joe. Not for any reason other than I was getting older and was playing sports, working, and partying and didn’t have the time. Somewhere in the world…
