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…

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. 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…

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…

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…

Welcome to the Outpost. This week I’m taking a look at the 2000 & 2001 G.I.Joe vehicles. G.I Joe was in a major rebuild at the turn of the millennium. There were a limited amount of vehicles released in these 2 years but eventually someone up-stairs realized that there was a large number of G.I. Joe fans and people wanted Joes. So in 2000 they released the camo colored Mobat again. Then there is the Locust a tan colored Dragonfly which I don’t have one of these but what do I have to say…
