Review: Skeletron Red Shadows Assault Trooper

Review by @GIJoeRepairShop They’re finally here! Those evil minions of Baron Ironblood, the classic Red Shadows troopers, have finally made their appearance in the SKELETRON line of figures. While Red Shadows Wolf troopers are fantastic, a lot of fans were waiting for the classic Red Shadows look to emerge from the depths of SKELETRON’s secret lab. The Red Shadows Assault Trooper is probably one of the worst-kept secrets in GI Joe/Action Force collecting. Anyone who bought a Roboskull MK II flight stand also got a deck of Roboskull MK II…

Super7’s O-Ring Revolution: Duke, Ramar & the Hunt for Fatal Fluffy

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Super7 is putting out some really cool O-Ring G.I. Joe figures. Although the price is a bit steep these figures are definitely plastic crack. In an attempt to find the illustrious Fatal Fluffy I landed Ramar and Duke from the original mini series. I Really love these modern O-Ring figures even though they are not quite the same as the original eighties and nineties figures, it’s nice getting some of the great characters we never got as kids. The Duke and Ramar…

Celebrating G.I. Joe’s 30th Anniversary: 1994 Joe Colton Figure Review

Story By Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a 1994 G.I. Joe figure that was part of the 30th anniversary line. G.I.Joe aka Joe Colton was a neat figure using the original head sculpt of the original 12 inch Joe. This was the first Figure ever named G.I. Joe and there are only 3 other versions of which I have the 2013 Bruce Willis version but not the other 2. The original is pretty sharp and I love some of the other figures from…

Exploring the 1988 Cobra Imp – A Deadly and Unique Cobra Arsenal!

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m checking out the 1988 G.I. Joe Cobra Imp. This is an interesting vehicle that has 3 huge missiles for attack and room to seat 1 driver not included and 2 standing on the back. The overall look and color scheme makes this vehicle pop. It’s a nice tight unique design. There is some nice engine detail under the missile carriage and the driver’s console has nice detail. The missiles are the real play feature on this vehicle. Each missile can…

“Retro Review: Exploring the Unique Charm of the 2007 Sigma6 Dark Ninja Master”

Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look back at a 2007 G.I. Joe Sigma 6 figure. The Sigma6 were short Lived from 2005-2007. I remember seeing them and thinking they were expensive so the only figure I picked up was Spirit who at the time was an o-ring figure I had wanted for 20 years and this was why I picked him up. The design was interesting on these. It wasn’t the normal realistic look of the original eighties Joes or even the nineties Joes that took on…

The Hidden Hero: ‘Muskrat’ in G.I. JOE – The Underrated Gem You Didn’t Know You Were Missing!”

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a G.I. Joe figure that is under appreciated in my opinion. The 1993 Battle Corp Muskrat is a figure I never hear anything on. This is actually a really cool version. I had the original Muskrat as a kid and I think everyone will agree he is awesome. Somehow I think the 1993 version slipped through the crack. Now he was oddly changed from a jungle/swamp soldier to a heavy fire specialist but the figure itself had potential. There are…
