Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m getting into a great 1985 character the G.I.Joe Cobra Tele-Viper. The Tele-Vipers were used a lot in the animated series and probably the comics but I’m not sure about that. The original figure is pretty cool and I recently picked up my first 1985 figure that is in pretty great shape. There is also a Python Patrol version that looks great. There are a few 2000 versions which 2005 is a great one and the modern style 2008 version is really cool and came…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. As I have said many times before G.I.Joe has always had awesome vehicles. 1985 was a great year and one small Cobra vehicle really took off. The Cobra Flight Pod aka Trubble Bubble, is one of my favorite small vehicles. This was a really cool concept vehicle and actually had a canopy to supply a bit of protection for the pilot. I never had one of these as a kid but somehow I ended up with a 1985, 2008 white version and the 2010 version. These…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. G.I.Joe has always had pretty awesome vehicles. The eighties gave us some really spectacular vehicles like the Rolling Thunder, Defiant space shuttle, and the USS Flagg. Bigger is not always better, so there were also a ton of small vehicles to create a world of your own. The 1985 Cobra Night Landing was a small vehicle that packed a huge punch. I did have this one as a kid, but I did not have any Eels so a lot of the time I had Torpedo and…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. I had a chance to binge watch the 2011 G.I.Joe Renegades series. I have watched a few episodes here and there and this was the first time I sat and watched all 26 episodes. Overall I thought this was well done. They took classic characters tweaked their backgrounds and personalities and created something fresh and modern. Me personally I am old school and I love the originals as they are, but I was able to get into this and appreciate the characters with a modern upgrade.…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m talking about a 1985 G.I.Joe vehicle that I did not have as a kid but I really wanted one. Years later I found one almost complete without the box and I was overjoyed that day. The G.I.Joe Mauler is an awesome tank. The Mobat was awesome and used a lot in the animated series as well as the comics so the Mauler had a tall order to fill and it came through with flying colors. This is such a great piece and it too…
