Outback’s Outpost ‘G.I.Joe Bridge Layer’ By Mitchell Smith!

July 2, 2020July 2, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m getting into the 1985 G.I.Joe Bridge Layer. This was a really cool vehicle when it came out. The driver Tollbooth is pretty cool, I always felt like he was never in the cartoon even though they used the Bridge Layer a good piece. This is not one that packed a lot of fire power but this does have a ton of play value. This bridge can be dropped over many obstacles and all of your vehicles can cross safely. I did not have one of these as…

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

July 1, 2020July 1, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Today I’m checking out one of the best large G.I.Joe vehicles from 1983. The G.I. Joe APC was The largest vehicle from this year and one of the best all time vehicles for G.I. Joe. This did not come with a driver but did hold most of the G.I. Joes one may have acquired by 1983. I would have loved to see the classic military transport M35 style truck, but this is a pretty awesome transport. The figures sit pretty tight in the seats and there is a seat belt that holds them all…

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

June 30, 2020June 30, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m switching to vehicles. The 1984 G.I. Joe Slugger is one cool vehicle. This was used in the cartoon and the comics. The Slugger comes with the driver Thunder. Thunder is one of those characters I don’t remember him having a lot of lines in the cartoon but he was in a lot of them. I don’t really know a ton about him other then he drives this pretty badass vehicle. I did not have one of these as a kid, but this has always been one of my favorite vehicles.…

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

June 28, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m getting into another classic 1983 G.I.Joe figure, Tripwire. With a name like Tormod S. Skoog your bound to end up doing something no one else wants to do. Tripwire was the mine detector and his secondary specialty is demolition. Something I’m not sure he was used for in the cartoon. Tripwire is a cool character and he really wasn’t used a ton. I think Tripwire should have been carried over a bit and maybe got an upgrade in the late eighties or nineties. Yes he had a Tiger Force figure…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘Star Wars Ewok Village’ By Mitchell Smith!

Hello gang, it’s time for our last pop-expose for the month of June. Star Wars has put out a ton of great vehicles and playsets over the years. I had very few as a kid and still own very few vintage vehicles and play sets. One that I did have as a kid was the Ewok Village. This mold was used later for the Robin Hood Sherwood forest and had some added treetops on it, but as a kid this was an awesome play set. I did not have many Star Wars…

‘G.I.Joe Snow Job’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

June 26, 2020June 26, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Today I’m getting into the original G.I.Joe snowtrooper. Snow Job who was born in Rutland, VT not to far from where I grew up from, so I have been in his home town several times. Snow Job was featured many times in the early days as there were several arctic adventures and Snow Job lead the way. He was also a main character in the modern cartoons as well. Snow Job was also featured in many of the comics and has been a staple character for the G.I Joe franchise. The 1983 figure was really cool…

‘G.I.Joe Retro Line’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

June 25, 2020June 25, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, ARAH, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. There is a lot of buzz going around about a new vintage line of G.I. Joe coming. This I’m half excited for right now. I would love to see the original straight arm line up released, but if not those then maybe some of the hard to find or hard to find figures that are not discolored. The original Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow come to mind right off the bat. These would be awesome releases as Stormy is often very yellowed and the original line up are getting brittle…

‘G.I.Joe NIGHT RAVEN’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

June 22, 2020June 22, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, Cobra, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m going to get into the 1986 G.I.Joe Cobra Night Raven. This is one of the greatest jets ever made. The Strato Viper is an awesome figure and this was a staple vehicle in the cartoon and even had an episode that focused on Slip Stream and a crashed Strato Viper. This is a vehicle I really wanted as a kid. I was 11 when it came out and I helped my father build a huge fireplace over the summer that year. It was long days mixing cement…

‘G.I.Joe Desert Humvee’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m talking about another 2005 vehicle and checking out the G.I. Joe Desert Humvee. This is one of my all time favorite vehicles and I don’t think this gets talked about a lot or certainly not enough credit is given to this vehicle. This is a realistic looking G.I. Joe vehicle but it still screams Yo Joe. This vehicle is pretty sturdy and will fit 4 figures inside plus one on the top mount gun. It has rubber tires which is an awesome feature on this vehicle. The…

G.I.Joe ‘2005 Moray’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

June 19, 2020June 19, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m sticking with vehicles and checking out the 2005 G.I. Joe Moray Hydrofoil. This is the classic Cobra Moray with a new paint job for the G.I. Joe team. This comes with Night force Flint and Beachhead. Both of these figures are really cool figures and I had kit bashed them years ago, but recently I put them back together and realized just how cool they are. This was the first Moray I ever owned so this was very cool when I got it. I love the colors and the…
