G.I.Joe ‘AIRTIGHT’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , 0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at one of my favorite 1985 G.I.Joe characters Airtight. One of the most memorable episodes for me was the Fun House where Airtight and several others were captured by Cobra Commander and forced to go through a maze of obstacles meant to hurt them. This is one I did not have as a kid but I do have a couple now. I also was fortunate enough to find the modern version which is really awesome. I really wanted a modern version…

G.I.Joe ‘Rolling Thunder’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , 0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the 1988 G.I.Joe Rolling Thunder. What a remarkable vehicle this one is. There are a ton of cool features on this vehicle and this thing has bad ass written all over it. I’ll start with the front. There are 2 separate canopies for the driver and the copilot. The back has a huge turret that seats 2 and there are 4 individual seats with guns. This thing is loaded with missiles including the 2 very large ones tucked away that…

G.I.Joe ‘TRIPLE T’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , 0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at G.I.Joe Sgt. Slaughter and the Triple T. This is one I did not have as a kid but I loved the figure and the vehicle. Growing up in the eighties I had plenty of WWF characters to follow. It was crazy from George The Animal Steele eating the turn buckles to Hulk Hogan body slamming Andre the Giant. When The Sarge came on board with GI Joe it was a match made in heaven. He didn’t just fit in, he…

G.I.Joe ‘Hi-Tech’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , 0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a G.I.Joe character that was created for the evolving military. Hi-Tech came on board to create new technological weapons that are aimed more at defeating the enemy with more then just pointing a gun and blowing things up. Hi-Tech was introduced in 2004 in the Valor vs Venom series. I remember picking up this figure back in 2005 at Big Lots. The Dr. Mindbender figure is what caught my eye but Hi-Tech quickly became one of my favorite characters. Hi-Tech…

G.I.Joe ‘The Dreadnoks’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , , , 0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. I’ve been talking about a lot of G.I.Joe sub groups as a whole lately and there is one group that I don’t believe was ever labeled as a sub group but certainly can be considered one. The group is the Dreadnoks. Zartan is the leader but the first three Ripper, Torch, and Buzzer were a huge part of the cartoon and one of my favorite lines is when they say ‘Ello ‘ello ‘ello, and it is followed up with them getting knocked out with an audios…

G.I.Joe ‘Slipstream’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , 0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Happy Friday everyone. This was a long week for me but it’s time to let the good times roll. Today I’m taking off with the G.I.Joe Conquest X-30 pilot Slip-Stream. Slip-Stream has 4 versions 1986, 2003, 2004, and modern 2008 version. This is one I got for Christmas in 1986 and is one of my favorite jets. I have a few original shells and it was a no brainer to pick up the 2008 version when it came out, I just wished I had grabbed more…

G.I.Joe ‘Red Spot’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , 0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m putting the G.I.Joe 2003 Red Spot in the spot light. He is listed as a laser trooper but I think of the red dot as more of a modern day sniper. That may open up a huge discussion but let’s see what happens. This is a really cool figure with a beautifully textured outfit that makes this figure pop. Along with the solid molded uniform he is equipped with a removable helmet and a ghillie suit that further enhances my theory on Red Spot…

G.I.Joe ‘Night Force’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , 0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the 1988 and 1989 G.I.Joe Night Force figures. These were all pretty cool and I know a lot of the figures had toned down colors that were very popular and still are to collectors today. I did not have any Night Force stuff as a kid but I have a lot of them now. 88 had some really cool figures. Crazy Legs, Falcon, Outback, Psyche Out, Sneak Peek, and Tunnel Rat were all nice and anyone who missed the originals…

Which G.I.Joe ‘Pet Teammate’ is your Favorite? Story by Mitchell Smith!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , , 0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the G.I.Joe Spirit’s pet teammate ‘Freedom’. G.I.Joe was great at incorporating pets into the toy line. Polly is the most famous do to the fact he could talk, so he naturally had a personality that was easy to recognize. Other animals like Order and Junkyard were faithful companions and had solid rolls in the cartoon. Other characters had animals that really only accompanied the action figure such as Croc Master’s crocodile and Voltar’s condor. One of the very first used…

THE POP EXPOSE – Ursula Corbero is the new ‘Baroness’!

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

Happy Sunday all. Today we are discussing Ursula Corbero. Corbero was born in 1989 in Barcelona Spain and was interested in acting at a young age. She landed several small rolls in the early and mid 2000’s including “Mirall Trencat” and “Ventdelpla”. Then she landed a major roll playing Tokyo in the hit series “Money Heist” in 2017. She is brilliant as Tokyo and I love this series. Even though it is a bit odd because it is dubbed over, the series is really good and Corbero really brought the…
