Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m checking out a G.I.Joe character that changed the whole Cobra operation. Serpentor was created by Dr. Mindbender and it was the turning point for Cobra Commander as the leader of the Cobra organization. Arise Serpentor Arise is one of my favorite series of the G.I. Joe animated series. The episodes introduced a ton of great characters including the power struggle between Serpentor, Cobra Commander, and the many other top ranking Cobra officers. When Serpentor came on the scene he was a very unique character. I had…

Welcome to the Outpost. Today we are discussing 2013 G.I.Joe vehicles. G.I.Joe was taking a turn, a hard turn and there were only 2 vehicles released into the Wild as we call it today. The Eagle Hawk AKA Tomahawk is one of the coolest helicopters and this one was a basic straight up copy of the original. There were a few upgrades and a cool pilot. Anyone who had picked up the 2009 Ghost Hawk also had the appropriate original Lift Ticket to pilot this awesome piece of machinery. This was a poor year…

Welcome to the Outpost. Today we are discussing G.I.Joe 2012 vehicles. G.I.Joe was riding the Coattails of the live action movies, and soon would go through a major change. The world itself was going through a change and soon online purchasing would become the norm. The Retaliation vehicles hit stores and first up is the Cobra Fangboat. This is a version of the original Water Moccasin and it is one I have, but I still love the original better. The Ghost Hawk II is a cool jet. I passed on this one when it came out,…

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m checking out one of my favorite G.I.Joe Comic 3 packs that I do not own. The 2006 Lonzo Wilkinson, Tommy Arashikage, and classified. These are 3 characters that go so far back, way before G. I. Joe was established. As most of us know Storm Shadow , Snake Eyes, and Stalker all served together in the Vietnam war. The 3 have a long history and although I have never read this issue I do know a lot of the back story on the 3. This comic 3…

Welcome to the Outpost. Today we are discussing 2011 G.I.Joe vehicles. First up are some Ross exclusives that I was never able to get my hands on. The Desert Rockslide A.T.A.V. is a tan version of the original and looks pretty cool, but I don’t see this one being effective in the sand. The Lava Pod is a Mole Pod cool but not much new on it. The Sand Serpent is a tan modern Night Raven. This is a cool version and probably could have been released at regular retail. The Polar…

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m checking out one of my favorite characters G.I.Joe ‘Dusty‘. The 1985 Dusty was such a cool figure and I probably passed him up for Shipwreck and Footloose but I’m not sure. I had one shot back in the day and I couldn’t buy them all. Dusty was a solid character in the cartoon and in the comics. Over the years there have been some great upgrades including the the Tiger Force that I did have and still have, the 1991 version with the beret, and one of…

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m checking out 1990 G.I.Joe Topside. 1990 was a pivotal year for me. I was starting high school and my Joe days were coming to an end. Topside was one of the last figures I received and probably one of the most underrated characters. Topside has a cool look to him and past NAVY characters like Cutter and Shipwreck have fixed hats, but Topside has a removable helmet. Along with a cool rocket firing pack, his uniform was unique and full of detail. From the orange…
