Which G.I. Joes are Important To Get In The G.I. Joe Classified Line With or Without their Original Vehicle

Serpentorslair Staff, , , 0 comment

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m talking about G.I. Joe Classified drivers/pilots I want to see even if they don’t get their original vehicles produced. GI Joe always had pride in its vast amount of vehicles and especially of the size of some of the largest vehicle/playsets ever produced by any toy line. 1982 proved to be a super successful year for GI Joe and in 1984 the GI Joe base was released. At the time this was one of the largest if not the largest…

The Viper Is Coming… But Not How You Think: A Nostalgic Reflection on One of G.I. Joe’s Most Unexpected Episodes

Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

There’s something delightfully odd about the G.I. Joe cartoon episode “The Viper Is Coming.” Premiering during the show’s heyday in the 1980s, it stood out as a humorous and almost surreal departure from the typical battle-heavy, save-the-world storylines that defined the series. For a franchise centered on elite soldiers fighting against an evil terrorist organization, this episode dared to be whimsical—almost absurdly so. And somehow, decades later, that’s exactly what makes it unforgettable. At the heart of the episode is a simple premise that grows increasingly ridiculous: the Joes receive…

Blazing Review: The 2025 Classified Firefighter is Packed with Gear and Potential!

Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

Review by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the new G.I. Joe Classified Legacy Firefighter action figure. I picked up a number of 12 inch GI Joe Firefighters years ago and when I saw this one I really wanted to get a few. I held out and found this guy on sale. He has a lot of gear and two different heads. I think he is very cool and I would love to see another firefighter packaged with less gear and a little less…

G.I. Joe Goes Neuralace: From Dr. Venom’s Brainwave Scanner to Real BCIs in 2025

Serpentorslair Staff, 0 comment

In Larry Hama’s classic G.I. Joe run, Dr. Venom’s Brainwave Scanner could map a captive’s mind by flashing images, then “read” (or even rewrite) what was inside. It debuts in 1983’s issue #10 under a Springfield arcade—Snake Eyes strapped to a chair, Venom boasting about extracting the Pit’s location—setting the tone for Cobra’s uniquely creepy brand of science. Later, Dr. Mindbender even uses the Scanner while creating Serpentor, pushing it from interrogation prop to personality programming engine. Flash forward to 2025, and the real world has something intriguingly adjacent: high-channel,…

Snake Eyes 1991 & Storm Shadow 1992 – Defining the 90s G.I. Joe Figures

Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at 1991 Snake Eyes and 1992 Storm Shadow. I always put these 2 together. One thing that has helped Snake and Stormy stay so popular over the years is they keep getting reinvented. There are so many great and different looks and these versions really hit the mark. Snake Eyes was completely overhauled and instead of a full black uniform there was some blue mixed in and the defining red goggles that made this figure pop. Storm…

G.I. Joe 1983 Falcon & Viper Gliders – Forgotten Classics of the Original Line

Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the 1983 G.I. Joe Falcon and Viper gliders. Back in the day these were pretty awesome. The Cobra Viper glider was featured in the original mini series as Duke escapes the clutches of Cobra Commander and his evil organization. I don’t know anyone that had this as a kid or as a collector. These were designed to actually fly so a good many of them got destroyed. If you are lucky enough to have one of…
