Though short-lived, its impact and cult following endure to this day. The Creation of Sectaurs Coleco, known for producing the Cabbage Patch Kids and the ColecoVision video game…
Read MoreStory By Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m checking out the 1985 G.I. Joe Armadillo mini tank. 1985 sported some pretty awesome vehicles from the A.W.E.

Read MoreStory by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m checking out the 2006 G.I. Joe Sigma6 Sky B.A.T. This is one I recently discovered and looks really cool. The B.A.T. was designed originally as a futuristic robot to battle GI Joe without having to recruit and train humans.
