If you have more questions, post them in this thread, and I’ll do my best to respond and add a picture if it is helpful. First off, here is my Gung Ho, still in his package. And if you want to leave him in there to keep him safe, that is perfectly fine. I photograph figures in action, so I’ll show a few…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Where were you in 1990? I was 15 and my life was slowly changing. I had a job working in my local restaurant, I was playing sports, and I was starting to party. My G.I.Joes took a back seat. Much like my life the 1990 line up of vehicles was very much changing from the classic military vehicles we were used to. Although times were changing and a new era was starting 1990 still had a lot of cool vehicles. One of my favorite vehicles from this year…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. September already, it is hard to believe this year is flying by so quickly. Today I’m bringing a double feature, the 1991 G.I.Joe Badger and the 1993 Crimson Cruiser. These 2 used the same mold but created 2 different vehicles. The Badger is a vehicle I just got for the first time in a Marketplace find last week. This is one of those vehicles I would not have tracked down, but since I found it in this vehicle lot I had to do some closer inspection of the vehicle.…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m Getting into the 1986 G.I.Joe medic Lifeline. Lifeline was a figure my older brother bought so I did have some play time with him as a kid. This was a really cool figure when it first hit shelves. The figure had a ton of detail and of course the signature white Rescue down his left leg that really jumped out at you. Lifeline came with his signature medic rescue case with the respiratory mask and a pistol. The pistol ended up not making sense after an episode where Lifeline refused…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m checking out another G.I.Joe medic, the 2006 character Med Alert. I bought this figure at TRU and passed up the 2006 Cover Girl because money was tight back then. When I saw this figure it was really cool and I thought he would look great next to Lifeline. Med Alert didn’t have a lot of accessories, but I loved his removable helmet and that was a huge selling point for me. I’m not sure if this character was ever used in a cartoon or comic, but it’s…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m checking out a 1990 G.I.Joe figure that doesn’t get much attention. Stretcher is one of those characters that wasn’t used much in the cartoon if at all. I’m not sure but it looks like he may have appeared in the comics but I’m not sure about that either. I did not have Stretcher as a kid so my love started for him as a collector. There are a lot of colors in his uniform but the figure has a nice look to it. His hat really…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m bringing the end of an era. G.I.Joe had reigned number 1 in 1980’s toys. The characters, figures, and vehicles left an impression so large that today there are millions of collectors. I think back of some of my favorite years such as 1985 and wonder where the time went. So many awesome figures and vehicles but the memories created with my brothers and friends and the people I have met in the collecting world is the reason I love G.I. Joe so much. 1989 was a…
Read MoreG.I.Joe fans have waited a long time for the brand to have a new movie on the big screen. And now it is going to be an even longer wait. Due to the Covid shutdowns, Paramount has announced they are moving G.I.Joe: Snake Eyes up to October 22nd, 2021. The film was originally slated to hit theaters October of this year. With the movie being pushed that far forward, fans can only wonder how long we will now have to wait to see an initial trailer for the film. What are your thoughts on the…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m getting into another G.I.Joe Pilot and this is another one I love and perhaps the replacement for Ace. When 1986 rolled around G.I.Joe was in full stride. The characters were being cranked out and along with them came figures and vehicles. The Conquest is another one of my favorite jets. I had one as a kid and I have 1 modern one and several 1986 shells with one in pretty good shape. With this awesome jet came another one of my favorite figures. The 1986 Slip-Stream just has a killer…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m sticking with G.I.Joe pilots and making sure I don’t leave out one of the greatest pilots ever created. 1983 had an awesome jet in the Skystriker and even though there were several Cobra jets in the cartoon 1984 needed a unique rival jet to battle the Skystriker. In comes the Cobra Rattler. Perhaps the number 1 jet ever made. The Rattler was awesome and it was one I had as a kid or at least my brother had it and we shared. Making an awesome jet…
