Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m getting into one of the limited G.I.Joe vehicles from 1994, the Cobra Scorpion. For the longest time I thought this was a small ATV, but the other day I took a little closer look at it in a video review and discovered this a full size jeep. This was one of the most pitiful years for the amount of vehicles produced, but this one is pretty cool. It is a 2 seater and the hood lifts up forward to reveal an engine that looks like it has…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. In 1988 G.I.Joe was already on a slow decline, there were still a lot of cool figures and vehicles but the cartoon wasn’t what it used to be. Shockwave was in the cartoon but I don’t think his character was developed. I’m not sure if the comics dove a little further into who he was but I’m curious to track down some with him in it. I remember getting Shockwave for Christmas and although there were several nice figures from this year, I think Shockwave stood out above the rest. He is…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Happy Friday everyone. Today I’m getting into one of the most popular G.I.Joe characters from 1982, Scarlett. Scarlett was unique in many ways in 1982. The only women on the team and she had a unique uniform, weapon, and of course she had the scarlet red hair. She has had several upgraded figures but her classic 1982 outfit has always been my favorite. Scarlett has a recent 6 inch figure that is out now and although they never made a 12 inch figure of her I recently custom made one that didn’t…

(You can catch up on other “Now You Know With YorktownJoe” reviews there as well!) On to the issue The issue picks up where the last issue left off. The Joe’s are investigating how their HQ could have been infiltrated by the Star Viper in Issue 72. Junkyard tips them off that there is something “under” the new Desert Fox 6WD and…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. I haven’t looked to much into the new G.I.Joe Snake Eyes movie till recently. I was trying to not get too worked up waiting for a new release date. I caught a trailer the other day so I decided to take a look at some of the cast. A couple actors stood right out to me and I started to get excited about them and the upcoming movie. Peter Mensah is the first one I noticed. He has played parts in movies such as 300, Hidalgo, and Avatar.…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m talking about The Rock. I think The Rock was a good fit for Roadblock in G.I.Joe Retaliation, but would he have been more successful if they had casted him as The Rock much like they did Sgt. Slaughter back in the day? He already had a cool name that would have fit right in and he was already a household name in wrestling. Maybe there was a conflict with using The Rock name. When the Sarge came in most kids probably watched WWF and the characters…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Happy Friday all. Today I’m taking a look at the G.I.Joe Battle Force 2000 vehicles. Back in 1987 the year 2000 seemed like it was decades away, and the futuristic vehicles that combined to make a base was ingenious. As a kid I only had the Dominator. This is a cool snow vehicle that splits into a cool tank and the sidewall of the base. I loved this one and I always wished I could get them all. The Vector jet is probably the most underrated Joe jet.…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the 1988 G.I.Joe Desert Fox. This is one vehicle I don’t hear much about, but it is an awesome desert vehicle. I did not have one of these as a kid so I look at this one from a collector’s point of view. This is a classic looking vehicle with a bit of a modern spin. The front of the vehicle has a standard driver and passenger seat with a nice classic looking front hood. The back really is what makes…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Hope everyone is having a good summer. Retail stores are finally getting in some new G.I.Joe stock so I know many people are enjoying hunting and finding them out in the wild. There is one Joe that has made a bit of a stink. Version 2 Roadblock in the 6 inch scale. I myself passed on this Joe, but I may pick him up if my Target still has him next go round. This isn’t a horrible figure I think people have turned their nose up at him for the…
