Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look back at the 1991 G.I. Joe Attack Cruiser. By far this is one of the oddest looking vehicles in the original Joe lineup from 82-94. This holds 3 figures one in the front cockpit, one behind that and one off to the side. The wheels don’t line up and it makes this vehicle just look odd. The glider bomb however saved this oddity. A bit before its time perhaps but this would make for a great drone…

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look back to G.I. Joe 1982. A familiar figure with millions of stories and over 70 versions including 3-3/4, 12 inch, 6 inch, and many other scales over the past 40+ years. A figure I had never owned that started it all. The commando cast all in black to save money, but a mysterious character developed and Snake Eyes became one of the most popular characters over the years, expanded within an elaborate story of him and his…

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the G.I. Joe Cobra Rat. This one I’m going to chalk up as an under appreciated vehicle. I know anyone who grew up with early GI Joe and Cobra vehicles got to enjoy awesome vehicles. As time went on some vehicles well, got made a bit cheap. The Rat is one of these vehicles that had a great concept but just was not built right. So first off if you have never watched the commercial for…
