Read MoreThe 1990’s were some interesting time for G.I. Joes. A lot of the figures and vehicles got away from a military looking style Joe, but there were still some pretty cool stuff happening, and think I appreciate the 90 stuff more now, but I was in high school in the 90s so I had gotten out of G.I. Joe and it wasn’t till later in life I rediscovered some of the great 90s stuff. Two vehicles stuck out to me and I was able to get my hands on them and…
Read MoreWelcome to Outback’s Outpost. Today I’m going to dive into a short lived toy line, the 1995 G.I.Joe Extreme toy line. When G.I.Joe Extreme hit toy shelves, these were not the Joes we were used to having. We went from some of the best articulated figures to statues. I acquired a lot of these figures a few years back in a collection I bought. These are not something I would normally have bought from retail, but since I have them they do have some collectible value. Some of the characters developed into…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m going to take a break from figures and review one of the greatest midsize play sets at least in my mind. The 1985 G.I.Joe Tactical Battle Platform. This was not huge so this would reach many households and still be able to display without taking over a room. I did not have one unfortunately as a kid but I did pick one up as a collector. There are so many great features on this starting at the top with the helicopter landing pad. This is…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost, hope you all are staying safe and sane. Today I’m going to get into the 12 inch G.I.Joe line. I was born in 75 so I had the pleasure of the 12 inch Joes which lead into the 3-3/4 inch line. The 12 inch has always been a part of my life for as far back as I can remember. I have been a collector of 12 inch for quite some time now but I missed out on a lot of great Joes. The 2008 Duke is one…
Read MoreToday I’m going to take a look at the 2005 G.I.Joe Sigma Six Spirit. The Sigma Six line was a bit of an acquired taste to begin with. The figures were a bit boxy and not as realistic looking as the 3-3/4 inch or the 12 inch we were accustomed to. Also for 2005 jumping into collecting figures at $15 a pop was a big jump and a big investment. Even those who bought them for their children were not all that keen on pumping that much money into a large amount of…
Read More1982 Flash One of my all time favorite G.I. Joe’s is the 1982 Flash. This was one of the first figures I received as a child for Xmas in 1982. The Unique thing about the 1982 figures is they are the only year with with straight arms and only year to get the signature swivel arms as a 1.5 version in 1983. A feature that was added to the figures for better articulation for holding weapons and gear. Something the older generation was used to seeing with the 12 inch…
