Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look back at G.I. Joe in 2018 as a whole. It was a bitter sweet year as the 3-3/4 figures would come to a screeching halt. Although the past couple of years were almost club and convention exclusives, it was still the end of an era filled with awesome figures and vehicles. There were some great figures in 2018, but even YoJoe.com gave up on completing their archives. They listed Rampart and a female Cobra Officer and their list was done. Other…

Rhode Island-based toy giant Hasbro has made a significant strategic move, selling its Entertainment One film and television business to Canadian-American media powerhouse Lionsgate for a substantial $375 million in cash.

Welcome 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…

Welcome to the Outpost. Wow what a year 2023 has been. I know there have been a lot of Joes we have been anticipating, but Hasbro really cranked out a lot of classified figures from several different years and multiple generations. I love the Classified line but the 3-3/4 inch will forever fill my heart. I went through my favorite Christmas hauls from 1982-1994, now I want to take a look at when I started collecting and some of those highly anticipated and sometimes hard to find figures. It seems…

In the realm of 1980s animated glory, where heroes and villains clashed against the backdrop of explosive battles, one voice cut through the chaos with an unforgettable charisma – the voice of Flint in the iconic G.I. Joe animated series. Bill Ratner, the man behind the microphone, embarked on a legendary journey, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of G.I. Joe fans. From auditions that felt like an old Hollywood “cattle call” to chance encounters in comic book stores, Ratner’s tale is as thrilling as the animated adventures he…

G.I. JOE INSIDE THE FILECARDS FEATURING ‘BREAKER’

Breaker is interesting in that he only has a PMS listed (Infantry) and no SMS. It also indicates he went to Signal School, which is what MOS’s in the Signal Corps Branch (25 series) go to. So his Infantry PMS and Signal School are very conflicting. What is usually not known is an RTO (Radio Tele-Phone Operator) within an Infantry platoon is not from the 25 series, but rather an 11B Infantryman assigned the radio. They usually give it to someone in the lower ranks (Privates). 25 series MOS’s typically…

Major Bludd is listed as “Terrorist” for his PMS and “Weapons and Tactics” for his SMS. It states he got initial training while serving in the Australian Special Air Service (equivalent to the British SAS and USA Delta Force). Later he joined the French Foreign Legion. SO the question remains did he start out in the ASAS as an officer, or as enlisted and maybe worked his way to an officer? Or did he go to the FFL as enlisted and worked his way up to an officer or was…

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a G.I. Joe vehicle that is under appreciated in my opinion. In 1993 Hasbro was still making some cool vehicles. At this point there had been a wide range of small, medium, and large vehicles in the Joe franchise, some of which were awesome and down right EPIC and some that weren’t as glorious. The Detonator is a large Cobra vehicle that I never hear anything about. This is a cool unique Cobra Vehicle that was…
