Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a G.I. Joe figure from 1987. Psyche-Out is a figure my brothers and I got for Christmas in 1987.

I always thought Air-Tight should have been a part of this group, but maybe he already was a part of this elite group of Joes. It would have been cool to get him with a removable helmet though. I did not have any of these as a kid, but I really liked the look and the removable…
