  By Serpentor’s Lair Editorial Staff Snake Eyes gets the glory, the swords, and the mystique. Duke gets the responsibility. And that makes him far more important to what G.I. Joe actually represents. Duke in the classic G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero animated series. Animation: Sunbow Productions, Marvel Productions and Toei Animation. G.I. Joe characters © Hasbro. Image source:Kotaku. Let’s say the thing a huge portion of the G.I. Joe fandom isn’t going to want to hear: DUKE IS MORE IMPORTANT TO G.I. JOE THAN SNAKE EYES. Not cooler.…

We Saved the Toys of the 1980s. Now We’re Being Priced Out of Our Own Childhoods

By the Serpentor’s Lair Editorial Team | October 7, 2026 We kept G.I. Joe, Transformers, He-Man, and the rest of our childhood alive. But with today’s collector prices, limited editions, and preorder culture, a painful question deserves an answer: Who can still afford to belong? We were the kids who wore the paint off our action figures. We lost their weapons in the backyard. We bent their file cards, snapped their rubber bands, and sent them into battles that lasted all afternoon. We didn’t know what a collectible was. We…

Sub-Teams Part IV: D.I.R.E. Tech

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 0 comment

My final installment in this series of G.I. Joe sub-team articles hits today. The Hasbro team has done such an excellent job creating new characters that fit so well into the lore while also turning out to be outstanding figures. I absolutely love it. Wolf Spider is my favorite new figure, but there are plenty of great ones. When it comes to the D.I.R.E. Tech crew, though, there’s also some reuse of older parts and designs—and it works incredibly well. When Crystal Ball first came out, I was a little…

Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

A G.I. Joe spy satellite crashes in an unexplored region, and both G.I. Joe and Cobra race to recover it. But they are not alone. A primitive missing link tribe called the Primords gets there first, and they have some very strong feelings about their new “god”. It leaves me asking: are we doing Ewoks again? Plus maybe the greatest entry in the Spirit and Storm Shadow rivalry as they engage in another battle of physicality, wits and words! Orto! Orto! Who is YOUR pick for MVP?What was YOUR favorite…

Serpentor is supposed to be the end product of history’s hardest military minds stacked in one body. Sun Tzu, Alexander, Caesar, Khan,…
