Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today has lead us up to one of the most disappointing years for G.I. Joe vehicles, 1994. Although there still was a number of great figures made this year the vehicle lineup was weak. I was heading off to college this year so back in 94 I was rushing frats and chasing girls so I didn’t realize at the time what was about to happen to the greatest franchise in action figure history. So any hoot the 1994 lineup oh yeah baby!!! The Blockbuster is the first up…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. I’m staying with the classic early eighties G.I.Joe and talking about Cover Girl today. Cover Girl was a cool character with a really cool vehicle. Although Cover Girl only has a handful of figures and maybe is not as popular as Scarlett or Lady Jaye, I think she is one of the great characters of the eighties. The cartoon did not have a lot of back story on this character but she was this sexy military girl who just kind of fit in with the boys. The 1983 figure was very unique…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m getting into another long time G.I.Joe ‘Cobra‘ character and perhaps one of the most popular The Baroness. The Baroness has been a part of the franchise since as long as I can remember. Although her first figure came in 1984, I feel she was a part of the cartoon before that. She was the one that was always getting behind Joe lines in disguise. There was an intricate love triangle happening there and many Joes were seduced by her beauty over the years. I have the 1984 version of…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m skipping forward to discuss G.I.Joe Firefly. Firefly was added in 1984 and quickly became a staple Cobra character. The saboteur had a very unique look and eventually went hand in hand with other popular characters such as Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. The original figure has a very cool color scheme and some awesome accessories. Firefly has a great tie in story with the Hard Master’s death and he has been a huge character over the years. There have been many great upgrades and although the 90s…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m jumping back to 1982 and an original G.I.Joe character who has had some nice updates over the years. Zap is the original bazooka soldier. Although he had a really cool signature mustache in the cartoon it wasn’t till 1991 till his figure came with a mustache. The 1991 figure is really cool though. The Sonic Fighter has some oversized weapons and gear but the figure is cool and has a removable helmet. I have this version and I love this one. It is very different from the OG.…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. This week we are talking 1993 G.I.Joe vehicles. The 90’s vehicles were very different from the 80s, but there were still some nice unique vehicles that came out. The Ghoststriker X-16 is a really cool jet and it is one I have never had but I have been looking for an affordable one for years. The Shark 9000 is a vehicle I have and I love this one. It may not be a Killer Whale but this one is still fairly large and has as much play value…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today we are discussing the 1986 G.I.Joe Tomahawk. I love helicopters. The Fang, the Dragonfly, and the Mamba are all favorites of mine, but the Tomahawk is the number 1 greatest G.I. Joe helicopter. I had one of these as a kid and I remember sleeping with it I loved it so much. I think it had its own pillow LOL. What an awesome design this is. From the canopy, to the twin rotor blades, right down to the tip of the back cargo door. I remember…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m talking about Metal-Head’s bestie in the G.I.Joe Dic Cartoon series, Gnawgahyde. This is one figure I had as a kid and one of my favorite figures from this year. He is a Dreadnok, he has awesome accessories, and he has a wild boar. Every accessory was just awesome that came with Gnawgahyde. The rifle, his knife, machete, bow, quiver that is a backpack, and of course his removable hat. The only other version came in the 2011 Dreadnok battle back. At the time this was too expensive and…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. 1990 is the last year I received G.I.Joes for Christmas. I had some nice figures but I did not get one cool one, Metal-Head. It wasn’t till many years later when I got back into G.I. Joe that I even knew who Metal Head was. When I got my first original Metal Head this was just a great figure. When I got back into watching the cartoon Metal Head was a very popular character and was used extensively. Although he came off as a bit of a loose cannon and…
