G.I. JOE UNDERAPPRECIATED FEATURING THE STREET FIGHTER ‘SONIC BOOM’!

October 16, 2023October 16, 2023 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, Street Fighter0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a vehicle that I feel is under appreciated the G.I. Joe Street Fighter Sonic Boom Tank. I’ve had my eye on the 1994 Street Fighter Sonic Boom for some time. This was a repaint of the 1991 Cobra Paralyzer, but I like the green better than yellow. I also thought about hunting down a Paralyzer or at least the gun which is green to make the Sonic Boom all green. The one I picked up recently is missing the spring…

G.I. JOE INSIDE THE FILE CARDS FEATURING “SHORT-FUZE’!

October 11, 2023October 11, 2023 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro0 comment

Today we look at G.I. Joe Short-Fuze. He is listed as “Artillery” for PMS and “Infantry Engineer” for SMS. What is interesting is there is not the usual longer space between “Infantry” and “Engineer” like what you see on other other OG13 filecards in regards to SMS. It most likely was a printing error but provided it is not then an “Infantry Engineer” would be in all cases a Combat Engineer (12B MOS). It lists Engineer School further in his filecard. Provided Short-Fuze started his Army career as a Combat…

G.I. JOE UNDERAPPRECIATED FEATURING THE ‘SHARK 9000’!

October 9, 2023October 9, 2023 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a G.I. Joe vehicle that I feel is under appreciated. In 1993 G..I Joe was on a hard slide. There were several factors contributing to it, but Hasbro still had a few cool vehicles that nobody seems to talk about. The 1984 WHALE is one of the best water vessels with so many features and so many memories in the cartoons, but another good size water vessel with lots of room for Joes is the Shark 9000 with v3 Cutter.…

G.I. JOE INSIDE THE FILE CARDS FEATURING “COBRA COMMANDER”!

G.I. Joe’s Cobra Commander is listed as “Intelligence” for his PMS and “Ordnance, Experimental Weaponry” as his SMS. Yes it should be “Ordnance” and not “Ordinance” as the two have different meanings. Cobra Commander relies on revolutions and chaos in order to control the world. States he has led uprisings in the Middle-East and Southeast Asia and other troubled spots. Responsible for kidnapping scientists, military leaders and businessmen. So the fact that “Intelligence” is listed as a military specialty and he has led uprisings in various parts of the world…
