G.I.Joe ‘LADY JAYE’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , 0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a female G.I.Joe who came on and took the bull by the horns and never looked back. Lady Jaye came on board in 1985. It was nice to see another female come in and be able to take front stage. Lady Jaye was in the forefront of many episodes and had a couple episodes revolve around her. The First figure is a solid staple in anyone’s collection. I did not have one as a kid but this is a unique…

G.I.Joe ‘SLAUGHTERS MARAUDERS’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , , 0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at another G.I.Joe 1989 sub group that released a bunch of repainted figures that many people may not have found an original character but now they could get it in Slaughters Marauders colors. The color schemes itself is a bit of an acquired taste but the characters are pretty cool. First up is SGT. Slaughter and he is a nice figure but not quite the original. Barbecue was a character I loved but never had the original. and Barbecue are the…

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 ‘Sigma Six Villains’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , , , 0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m talking about some of the G.I.Joe Sigma 6 villains. There are a number of versions of some of the top characters and I have a few that I’ve picked up. Cobra Commander, Destro, Zartan, Firefly, and Storm Shadow are all staple characters in the G.I.Joe world and even though these figures are a bit of an acquired taste, I think they are really cool and maybe even pushed action figures toward the 6 inch world we know today. I really like the looks of…

NECA’s TMNT Secret of The Ooze ‘Shredder’ Figure Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , , 0 comment

Hello everyone. I’m Train and today I’m going off the rails with Neca’s TMNT Shredder action figure. I grew up watching TMNT but I never had any figures as a kid. As a collector I have somehow stayed away from buying any. I saw this Shredder and picked him up because I thought he would make a great story. This figure looks great from head to toe. He has a ton of detail from the head sculpt, to his six pack abs, right down to the bottoms of his feet.…
