Read MoreStory by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the 1983 G.I. Joe Falcon and Viper gliders. Back in the day these were pretty awesome. The Cobra Viper glider was featured in the original mini series as Duke escapes the clutches of Cobra Commander and his evil organization. I don’t know anyone that had this as a kid or as a collector. These were designed to actually fly so a good many of them got destroyed. If you are lucky enough to have one of…
Read MoreThe dojo smelled of sweat and cedar wood. The walls were lined with battered practice weapons, each one carrying its own story of sparring sessions and bruised knuckles. Shana O’Hara stood barefoot on the polished wooden floor, her auburn hair tied tightly back, eyes fixed on the three figures circling her. Her brothers moved fast—always fast—but she was faster. A quick pivot, a sweep of the leg, and one of them went down hard on the mat. The other two pressed in, testing her guard, forcing her to react. From…

Read MoreStory by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the 1986 Dreadnok Thunder Machine. The Thunder Machine made its first appearance in the series “Arise Serpentor Arise”. While Zartan and the Noks held a competition for the next member to join them Monkeywrench and Thrasher made quite an impression. Of course they both made it and Thrasher brought his Thunder Machine on board. The custom hot rod assumingely built by Thrasher is an interesting vehicle. I always got a Mad Max vibe on this vehicle.…

Read MoreLegendary G.I. Joe creator Larry Hama, often hailed as the godfather of the franchise, recently shared his insights on the characters he cherishes and those he’s not particularly fond of. As the saga of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero continues under Hama’s guidance, it’s evident that his deep connection to the series spans over four decades, from its Marvel Comics origins in the 1980s to its current iteration at Skybound Entertainment. With an extensive portfolio boasting over 300 issues, Hama’s intimate understanding of the G.I. Joe characters is unparalleled.…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. I’ve been taking a look at the modern Joes as a whole, but I also want to put some of my favorite modern 2007-now figures under the microscope. 2007 as I mentioned was the dawn of a new era, the 25th modern style Joe. One of the most distinct features is the removable head. The overall design made it relatively simple to swap heads and other body parts to customize figures. Although Hasbro produced a good amount of the original figures some were left out and…
