G.I.Joe ‘Shipwreck’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

November 19, 2020November 19, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, Shipwreck, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at one of the best G.I.Joe characters ever created, and one of the very first I bought with my own money, ‘Shipwreck‘. Shipwreck was introduced in 1985 and was an instant hit. I remember standing in Ames with my older brother and I liked the sailor suit, the name, his cool weapons, and Polly. I remember storing his pistol and anchor in a small match box. I still have the Polly minus his feet and Shipwrecks head. My brothers were rough on my…

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

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m I’m jumping back to 1982 and talking about G.I. Joe’s first driver, ‘Clutch‘. This is one that my brother got for Christmas and he was really cool and unique for the original gang. First off he came with one of the coolest jeeps ever in any toy line. The design wasn’t over complicated but it has remained a popular vehicle today. Clutch was a nice figure with the black hair and beard. That figure just popped and looked awesome with Hawk sitting next to him towing the…

G.I.Joe ‘2004 Vehicles’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

November 15, 2020November 15, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. This week I’m taking a look at the 2004 G.I.Joe vehicles. G.I Joe was in full gear with vehicles and figures in 2004, I was about to become a father for the first time, and I was back looking in toy aisles. There were a lot of hard choices that year and I passed on a lot of Joe stuff do to the fact that diapers won out over figures. There were 3 convention exclusives this year. The Tiger-Ray Hydrofoil a repaint of the original that is awesome. The Dreadnok…

G.I.Joe ‘Steam-Roller’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

November 13, 2020November 13, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m checking out a G.I.Joe character from 1987. Steam-Roller was released exclusively with the Mobile Command Center, but was never used in the cartoon and correct me if I’m wrong but never used in the comics. My younger brother and I both got one of these for Christmas back in 1987. Looking back I wish I would have kept one in the box. Surprisingly enough Steam-Roller is one of a few I do not have in my collection today. This is a cool looking figure. Simple, he has just…

G.I.Joe ‘Cross-Country’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

November 12, 2020November 12, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, ARAH, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m checking out another G.I.Joe driver and Mechanic. Cross-Country came on scene in 1986. I got a Havoc for Christmas that year and I still have some parts I use for battle damage because my dog chewed up some of the parts. I do have a couple complete ones now though. Any hoot, Cross-Country the country boy from Greensboro, NC (not to be confused with Greenbow, AL) was instantly one of my favorite characters. What a unique looking figure from head to toe. I always thought his head was slightly larger…

Outback’s Outpost ‘Frostbite’ By Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost. I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. Last week I had some snow before it turned unseasonably warm for my area. Nevertheless, I know the snow is inevitable so I’ll start this week off with one of my all time favorite G.I.Joe characters Frostbite. Frostbite was released in 1985 with one of my all time favorite vehicles the Snow Cat. I remember the day my older brother came home with this vehicle. I watched as he put it together and I had my chance to hold Frostbite as he assembled…

Welcome to the Outpost. This week I’m taking a look at the 2003 G.I.Joe vehicles. G.I Joe was heading toward a major relaunch of Joe and Cobra vehicles. Once again this was a year with some vintage repaints as well as some new designs. There were a great number of figures released and G.I.Joe was very much back and operating in full gear. There were 2 convention exclusive vehicles a Blue Hiss Tank and a repainted mini Sub from the 1990 Hammerhead. Both look pretty cool and much like the 2002 lineup I do not own…

G.I.Joe ‘Grunt’ By Mitchell Smith!

November 6, 2020November 7, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting2 Comments

Welcome to the Outpost. Today we are talking about a G.I.Joe character from 1982 who may get over looked a bit and seems a little generic but never the less is one of my all time favorite characters, ‘Grunt‘. Grunt was a main character and over the years became a staple in the Joe lineup. He wasn’t always in the forefront but he was always ready to fight for his fellow Joes. Grunt had a few cool upgrades including the tan version and the 1991 version that I love. He has had a…

‘G.I.Joe Ocean Assault’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

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

Welcome to the Outpost. Today we are taking a look at a 12 inch G.I.Joe figure and vehicle, the 2002 G.I.Joe Ocean Assault set. The 2002 Ocean Assault with Wet-Suit is one cool vehicle. This is a surfboard, a wind board, and a wind glider. The board itself is a pretty cool design complete with fins on the bottom of the board. The sail is a clear plastic piece with a cool spring loaded gun that fires two missiles. Then the sail detached and the whole thing becomes a glider. The Wet-Suit is a cool figure…

Welcome to the Outpost. This week I’m taking a look at the 2002 G.I.Joe vehicles. G.I Joe was heading toward a major relaunch of Joe and Cobra vehicles. This was a year some vintage repaints were released as well as some new designs. I was working 3 jobs at the time and my wife and I were trying to start a family so I did not have any of these. First up is a repaint of one of my favorite vehicles growing up The Warthog. It was renamed the Night Rhino and looks really…

G.I.Joe ‘Major Bludd’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost. Today Im checking out a character that was used early on in the G.I.Joe Cartoon and is a great Cobra Character, ‘Major Bludd‘. I know he was in the comics as well but I do not know the extent but I’m thinking he is a staple in the comics. Major Bludd was introduced in 1983 and is just a cool looking bad guy. The eye patch, his mustache, the uniform, and weapons made him unique and was just a popular character. I did not have an original Bludd until a…
