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.…

Part 1: Roots in Georgia In the picturesque town of Athens, nestled in the heart of Georgia, there lived a family that would one day produce one of the most formidable members of the G.I. Joe team.

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

October 3, 2023October 3, 2023 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, Cobra, Cobra Commander, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, Marvel0 comment

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…

G.I. JOE UNDERAPPRECIATED FEATURING THE “RAIDER”!

October 2, 2023October 2, 2023 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a 1989 G.I. JOE vehicle that I feel is under appreciated the Raider. The Raider with Hot Seat is a really cool vehicle that I never hear anything about. Looking over the years a lot of the vehicles did not get a modern version. Maybe the originals are solid enough Hasbro felt they didn’t need to update them as many of the modern figures did fit the original vehicles. The Raider is featured in the opening credits of the miniseries…

Zarana had always been a wild spirit. Growing up, she had felt like an outsider, a rebel with no cause. That was until she met her older brother Zartan, the enigmatic master of disguise who would change her life forever. Now, she stood at the precipice of her initiation into the criminal Dreadnok biker gang, and the tasks before her were nothing short of daunting. The moon hung low in the night sky, casting eerie shadows over the decrepit factory where the Dreadnoks had made their headquarters. Zarana’s heart pounded…
