G.I.Joe ‘Star Brigade’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

December 21, 2020December 21, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Tonight anyone with clear sky’s will be able to see the great conjunction. I have been fallowing Mars Jupiter and Saturn for the past several months and tonight Saturn and Jupiter will be so close they will be hard to distinguish as one. So in honor of this great phenomenon I’m going to talk about some G.I.Joe Star Brigade. Early on G.I. Joe had episodes in space, but it wasn’t till the nineties that the Star Brigade was formed. I love the exploration of space and have visited the NASA space…

‘The Best G.I.Joe Christmas Haul’ Story By Mitchell Smith!

December 20, 2020December 20, 2020 Serpentorslair StaffChristmas, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Christmas is among us. This weekend I want to get into one of my favorite years and one of my largest Joe hauls as a child. 1987 was an interesting year for G.I. Joe. There had been a great success in the Joe franchise up to this point and many say that G.I. Joe had peaked and was heading down. This was the year I received the most vehicles and maybe even figures. The top vehicle I got that year was the Mobile Command Center. This is one of my all-time…

G.I.Joe ‘2009 Vehicles’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

December 14, 2020December 14, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today we are discussing 2009 G.I.Joe vehicles. This was a pretty good year. There were some great vehicles on top of a live action movie: “The Rise of Cobra.” This led to many vehicles being released this year. First up from the Rise of Cobra line is the Armored Panther. This is a version of the Armadillo and looks pretty cool. The Crimson Hydra is a cool red version of the 2003 Sky Sweeper. The Cobra Gunship is one I have and looks like a helicopter with no…

G.I.Joe ‘Cobra Wolf’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m sticking with cold weather discussions and getting into a G.I.Joe Vehicle I had as a kid and perhaps the second best snow vehicle and the number one Cobra snow vehicle and driver, the 1987 Cobra Wolf with Ice Viper. Not only is this the top Cobra cold weather soldier, but also one of the top Cobra Vipers over all. The original figure is awesome. The uniform is white with just enough accessory to make him pop. He comes with 2 sai’s and a really cool helmet with goggles that…

G.I.Joe Snow Serpent Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

December 10, 2020December 10, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m getting into another G.I.Joe cold weather character that I did not have as a kid but oddly enough, but I had the accessory pack with his blue snow shoes that I still have and that is Snow Serpent. The 1985 Snow Serpent was the first Cobra Snow Trooper. Leading up to 1985 there were many snow battles and G.I. Joe had Snow Job and Frostbite so it was only fitting Cobra had a snow-trooper to fight in the cold weather. The original Snow Serpent looks awesome. He is completely…

G.I.Joe ‘Sub Zero’ By Mitchell Smith!

December 9, 2020December 9, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toycollecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m talking about a G.I.Joe figure I did not have as a kid but he is one of my favorite cold weather characters, ‘Sub-Zero‘. Sub-Zero came out in 1990 just on the tail end of my Joe days as a kid. When I started collecting, Sub-Zero was a figure I bought off eBay complete. I like the uniform he has and there is a good number of weapons and accessories that comes with this figure. Surprisingly there is only 1 other version a dark blue one from 1993. I…

G.I.Joe ‘2008 Vehicles’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost. 2007 was the launch of the 25th Anniversary modern style G.I.Joe action figures. This was a great year and the new style figure looked awesome. With the success of the 2007 figures came a new wave of 25th style Vehicles in 2008. This year was packed with classic vehicles and pretty much every one was awesome. To kick it off there were a number of Target exclusives including the Ultimate Battle Pack. This came with a Mobat, Red Hiss, and flight Pod. This also came with a number of figures…

‘G.I.Joe Detonator’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

December 3, 2020December 3, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m getting into the 1993 G.I.Joe Cobra Detonator. This is a large vehicle packaged with the Nitro-Viper. This is the only figure in the 82-94 run to come without a file card. The figure itself looks cool and may be a bit bright for some of the Joe fans but I think it looks pretty cool. The vehicle is a pretty good size vehicle with a large foam missile on top and a gnarly looking ram cage on the front. The vehicle holds 6 sitting and…

G.I.Joe Holiday Cartoon’Cobra Claws Are Coming to Town’ By Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m going to get into one of my favorite holiday episodes of G.I.Joe, Cobra Claws Are Coming to Town. This is a great episode that puts some of the best early characters together at Christmas time. As the Joe team seeks to spread holiday cheer with gifts for the little ones, Cobra infiltrates the Joe base and set out to give G.I.Joe a bad name by attacking the city with Joe vehicles. The Joes rally with Cobra vehicles and a very large Polly to clear their name and save…

New G.I.Joe Retro ‘Destro’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

November 30, 2020November 30, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, G.I.Joe Retro, Hasbro0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Over the weekend I was able to get my hands on the new G.I.Joe retro Destro. From what I can tell this is a repacked 2014 figure, so I don’t see what is retro about that other then the packaging he comes in. I’m not complaining about the figure as this is a great looking Destro and I did not buy this back in 2014, just the retro part throws me off. This figure comes with a cool briefcase and a very cool pistol with a removable scope. Over…

G.I.Joe ‘2006-2007 Vehicles’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

November 29, 2020November 29, 2020 Serpentorslair StaffG.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. This week we are discussing G.I.Joe vehicles from 2006 and I’ll lump in 2007 as well. G.I.Joe had made a full come back earlier in the decade and 2006 had come to a slow down only producing 5 vehicles. Although there were still quite a few figures many Joe fans were unsure of the future of G.I. Joe. I know I was finding some of the early 2000 figures at secondary stores and I wasn’t really into collecting vehicles at the time. The first vehicle was a repaint and the only…

G.I.Joe ‘Phantom X-19’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

November 27, 2020November 27, 2020 Serpentorslair StaffG.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m getting into one of the coolest G.I. Joe jets ever made, the Phantom X-19. Not as recognizable as the original Skystriker, or even the Conquest, as both of these were heavily used in the cartoon especially for the intro scenes, but just as awesome as both of them. Phantom X-19 is still a very cool jet, and holds it’s popularity today. My 2 older brothers were well into their teen years in 1988, the year this was introduced. I was still young enough to get one of…
