Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m getting into another 1991 G.I.Joe Super Sonic Fighters figure. Zap was one of my favorite characters growing up but I never had his figure. It wasn’t till I was a collector that I tracked down a straight arm and swivel arm original Zap. He was such a great character and as you all know, I knew very little of the nineties Joes so getting these Joes all together was like reliving my childhood. So any hoot, the 1991 Sonic Fighters Zap is really cool. The first great thing about this…

Welcome to the Outpost. Today we are discussing 2014 G.I.Joe vehicles. There were 2 battle packs put out this year and I was able to get one of them. The Battle Below Zero Cobra Wolf and Ghost Hawk is an awesome set and I’m glad I picked these up. The Wolf is just pure gold and anyone who loves the original Ghost Hawk will love this winter version. The Danger at the Dock Night Raft and Vamp is one I wanted but could not find. This one would have been sweet…

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…
