Welcome to the Outpost. Happy Friday everyone. This was a long week for me but it’s time to let the good times roll. Today I’m taking off with the G.I.Joe Conquest X-30 pilot Slip-Stream. Slip-Stream has 4 versions 1986, 2003, 2004, and modern 2008 version. This is one I got for Christmas in 1986 and is one of my favorite jets. I have a few original shells and it was a no brainer to pick up the 2008 version when it came out, I just wished I had grabbed more…

G.I.Joe ‘Red Spot’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

April 21, 2021April 21, 2021 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m putting the G.I.Joe 2003 Red Spot in the spot light. He is listed as a laser trooper but I think of the red dot as more of a modern day sniper. That may open up a huge discussion but let’s see what happens. This is a really cool figure with a beautifully textured outfit that makes this figure pop. Along with the solid molded uniform he is equipped with a removable helmet and a ghillie suit that further enhances my theory on Red Spot…

G.I.Joe ‘Night Force’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the 1988 and 1989 G.I.Joe Night Force figures. These were all pretty cool and I know a lot of the figures had toned down colors that were very popular and still are to collectors today. I did not have any Night Force stuff as a kid but I have a lot of them now. 88 had some really cool figures. Crazy Legs, Falcon, Outback, Psyche Out, Sneak Peek, and Tunnel Rat were all nice and anyone who missed the originals…

Which G.I.Joe ‘Pet Teammate’ is your Favorite? Story by Mitchell Smith!

April 18, 2021April 18, 2021 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, G.I.Joe Cartoon, G.I.Joe Comics, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the G.I.Joe Spirit’s pet teammate ‘Freedom’. G.I.Joe was great at incorporating pets into the toy line. Polly is the most famous do to the fact he could talk, so he naturally had a personality that was easy to recognize. Other animals like Order and Junkyard were faithful companions and had solid rolls in the cartoon. Other characters had animals that really only accompanied the action figure such as Croc Master’s crocodile and Voltar’s condor. One of the very first used…

Structo Trucks – Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

April 15, 2021April 15, 2021 Serpentorslair StaffStructo, toy collecting, toy collector0 comment

Hello everyone, I’m Train and today I’m going off the rails, way off the rails. Back before our parents and probably most of our grandparents were even born. In the early 1900s toys were not an easy come by. The Structo Company specialized in making toy trucks. They made everything from Jeep’s to cranes and Corvettes to fire trucks. Growing up in the eighties my grandfather had a dump truck. This was really cool because it had a real hydraulic piston that could dump a load of dirt with a…

G.I.Joe ‘Tiger Force’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

April 11, 2021July 6, 2022 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, Tiger Force, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m getting into the 1988 G.I.Joe Tiger Force sub team figures. I always loved the Tiger Force and I had 2 as a kid. Even though the yellow vehicles are too bright for some peoples liking, this was one of my favorite lines as a kid and still holds today. I had a Tiger Fly and a Tiger Paw as a kid and I loved them both. The 1988 lineup was pretty cool including the Tiger Fly pilot Recondo who is really nice, Frostbite, and…

G.I.Joe ‘Headman’ and ‘Gristle’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m checking out a couple nineties G.I.Joe characters, Headman and Gristle. It seemed like G.I. Joe was being reinvented much like the 12 inch Adventure Team line. This time they took a stand on drug and crime lords. These were well after my childhood days and I thought they looked really cool when I picked them up as a collector. This line brought new D.E.F. Figures like Bulletproof and the Headhunters as well as reviving classic characters like Mutt and Shockwave. Overall I like the…

Transformers R.E.D. ‘Soundwave’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

Hello everyone. I’m Train, and today I’m going off the rails with the new 2021 Transformers R.E.D. non converting Soundwave action figure. I’m not a big Transformer guy but I loved the cartoon growing up and I watched 1 of the movies and well I’m not a nut about it but I do think they a really cool. It probably has something to do with I never had any Transformers growing up so I don’t have a strong nostalgia connection there. However this figure really reached out and grabbed me…
