Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m getting into the 1986 G.I.Joe L.C.V. Recon Sled. 1986 was a pivotal year for G.I.Joe. Coming off a year where we got a massive U.S.S. Flagg, Mauler, and Snow Cat to name a few, 1986 was like following up a Super Bowl win. It’s hard to do 2 years in a row. 1986 did post some awesome stuff like the Havoc, Night Raven, and the Terror Drome, but some of the smaller vehicles may have been looked over. The L.C.V. Recon Sled was one I received…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m checking out a classic G.I.Joe Cartoon episode from 1986. “Sins of Our Fathers”. This was one of my favorite seasons. In this episode Dial-Tone is sent into Cobra Territory. What he does not realize is he was tricked by General Hawk and Flint to believe he is being released by the Joe team so Cobra will hire him and not be able to detect it’s a covert operation. So Dial-Tone ends up resurrecting this giant creature who is sent to destroy Serpentor by Cobra Commander. In the end…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today we are discussing G.I.Joe 2012 vehicles. G.I.Joe was riding the Coattails of the live action movies, and soon would go through a major change. The world itself was going through a change and soon online purchasing would become the norm. The Retaliation vehicles hit stores and first up is the Cobra Fangboat. This is a version of the original Water Moccasin and it is one I have, but I still love the original better. The Ghost Hawk II is a cool jet. I passed on this one when it came out,…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m checking out one of my favorite G.I.Joe Comic 3 packs that I do not own. The 2006 Lonzo Wilkinson, Tommy Arashikage, and classified. These are 3 characters that go so far back, way before G. I. Joe was established. As most of us know Storm Shadow , Snake Eyes, and Stalker all served together in the Vietnam war. The 3 have a long history and although I have never read this issue I do know a lot of the back story on the 3. This comic 3…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today we are discussing 2011 G.I.Joe vehicles. First up are some Ross exclusives that I was never able to get my hands on. The Desert Rockslide A.T.A.V. is a tan version of the original and looks pretty cool, but I don’t see this one being effective in the sand. The Lava Pod is a Mole Pod cool but not much new on it. The Sand Serpent is a tan modern Night Raven. This is a cool version and probably could have been released at regular retail. The Polar…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m checking out one of my favorite characters G.I.Joe ‘Dusty‘. The 1985 Dusty was such a cool figure and I probably passed him up for Shipwreck and Footloose but I’m not sure. I had one shot back in the day and I couldn’t buy them all. Dusty was a solid character in the cartoon and in the comics. Over the years there have been some great upgrades including the the Tiger Force that I did have and still have, the 1991 version with the beret, and one of…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m checking out 1990 G.I.Joe Topside. 1990 was a pivotal year for me. I was starting high school and my Joe days were coming to an end. Topside was one of the last figures I received and probably one of the most underrated characters. Topside has a cool look to him and past NAVY characters like Cutter and Shipwreck have fixed hats, but Topside has a removable helmet. Along with a cool rocket firing pack, his uniform was unique and full of detail. From the orange…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today we are discussing 2010 G.I.Joe vehicles. There was a good success with the Rise of Cobra movie and a second G.I. Joe movie was released, The Pursuit of Cobra. With the movie came a number of vehicles. TRU had the Rise of Cobra Sting Raider. Seeing I didn’t get the original style from 2009, I picked up this cool looking camo one. This is such a great vehicle and I wish they had released the original color to retail. The Rip Attack Jet Storm Cycle and The Tiger Snake are…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m checking out the 2012 G.I.Joe Ninja Combat Cruiser. This is a vehicle I picked up and found out it was pretty cool. The vehicle mold is from the original 2010 Vamp mold. I don’t remember seeing any of the Vamps in this mold in stores until I found this vehicle. This version uses darker colors and unlike the original this has all 4 doors that open and close. This is very similar how they enclosed the original 1982 Vamp and made it even more awesome…
