G.I. Joe Goes Neuralace: From Dr. Venom’s Brainwave Scanner to Real BCIs in 2025

Serpentorslair Staff, 0 comment

In Larry Hama’s classic G.I. Joe run, Dr. Venom’s Brainwave Scanner could map a captive’s mind by flashing images, then “read” (or even rewrite) what was inside. It debuts in 1983’s issue #10 under a Springfield arcade—Snake Eyes strapped to a chair, Venom boasting about extracting the Pit’s location—setting the tone for Cobra’s uniquely creepy brand of science. Later, Dr. Mindbender even uses the Scanner while creating Serpentor, pushing it from interrogation prop to personality programming engine. Flash forward to 2025, and the real world has something intriguingly adjacent: high-channel,…

Snake Eyes 1991 & Storm Shadow 1992 – Defining the 90s G.I. Joe Figures

Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at 1991 Snake Eyes and 1992 Storm Shadow. I always put these 2 together. One thing that has helped Snake and Stormy stay so popular over the years is they keep getting reinvented. There are so many great and different looks and these versions really hit the mark. Snake Eyes was completely overhauled and instead of a full black uniform there was some blue mixed in and the defining red goggles that made this figure pop. Storm…

G.I. Joe 1983 Falcon & Viper Gliders – Forgotten Classics of the Original Line

Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

Story 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…

Scarlett: The Making of a Warrior

Serpentorslair Staff, 0 comment

The 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…

Revving Up Nostalgia: The 1986 Dreadnok Thunder Machine Breakdown!

Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

Story 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.…
