G.I.Joe Classified 6″ Scale Vehicles Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

The G.I.Joe 6 inch figures G.I.Joe Classified, are starting to trickle into retail. So far they look pretty cool. I always find that in hand is a much better way to assess figures as opposed to looking at an image. I do have some other 6 inch lines I collect such as Star Wars, Marvel, and DC. This scale just looks great. One thing that has always made the 3-3/4 inch line thrive are vehicles. So I’m wondering if there are thought of vehicles and can they manufacture vehicles that won’t take…

G.I.Joe Vehicles of 1982 Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

July 12, 2020July 12, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Today I’m going to get into the G.I.Joe 1982 vehicles as a whole. Remember this was a pilot season for the 3-3/4 inch line and they were taking somewhat of a risk in producing vehicles for the figures. As a whole they hit a home run with every vehicle released that year. First the Mobat which I did an exclusive on earlier is one of the best tanks ever made. For the times they knocked this battery operated tank with real rubber tracks out of the park. Next the Vamp, another vehicle…

G.I.Joe ‘Road Toad’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

July 10, 2020July 10, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost, Today I’m sticking with 1987 but a bit of an odd vehicle. The G.I.Joe Road Toad. This was an odd vehicle but it was one I had as a kid so I still love it. It’s a trailer, it’s a tow truck, and it’s a cannon. So it looks like this vehicle is designed to clean up damaged vehicles as it is called the Road Toad B.R.V. (battlefield recovery vehicle.) I love the tow option on this vehicle and the little side seat for the controls seems…

G.I.Joe ‘Sneak Peek’ and ‘Psyche-Out’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

July 9, 2020July 9, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost, Today I’m checking out 2 more G.I.Joe figures from 1987. Some of the earlier years had great friendships like Dusty and Footloose, Leatherneck and Wet Suit, and Scarlett and Duke. The friendships were something I loved about the cartoon and the characters. Two characters that I don’t ever remember them being in the cartoon are Sneak Peek and Psyche-Out. I feel like these two would have been that important two man combo this year. They both were using new technology, and they both had some very unique equipment that was especially…

G.I. Joe Classified – Duke There are lots of reviews of the 2020 G.I. Joe Classified series available. This is just a brief overview that may help answer some of your questions. If you have more questions, post them in this thread, and I’ll do my best to respond and add a picture if it is helpful. First off, here is my Duke, still in his package. And if you want to leave him in there to keep him safe, that is perfectly fine. I photograph figures in action, so…

G.I.Joe ‘Law & Order’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

July 8, 2020July 8, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

The G.I.Joe 1985 lineup paved the way for many unique characters for the years to come. 1987, I thought was one of the best years for joe figures and probably the first year I got a ton of the figures for Christmas. There were so many awesome characters like Fast Draw, Crystal Ball, and Techno Viper. This year also released a great lineup of vehicles like the Mamba, the Cobra Sea Ray, and the unique R/C car the Crossfire. There are so many and I’m looking to do a write up on…

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m getting into the original G.I. Joe 12 inch figures. I’m sure many of you know the original story of how G.I. Joe came about. My Grandparents had a few G.I. Joe and Marx figures that I grew up playing with and I found great enjoyment loading up a jeep and driving these Joes around for various adventures. The original Joes came with an outfit and other outfits could be purchased to switch and make unique characters or build your army. There are tons of accessories to make a whole platoon…

Outback’s Outpost ‘G.I.Joe Bridge Layer’ By Mitchell Smith!

July 2, 2020July 2, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m getting into the 1985 G.I.Joe Bridge Layer. This was a really cool vehicle when it came out. The driver Tollbooth is pretty cool, I always felt like he was never in the cartoon even though they used the Bridge Layer a good piece. This is not one that packed a lot of fire power but this does have a ton of play value. This bridge can be dropped over many obstacles and all of your vehicles can cross safely. I did not have one of these as…

‘G.I.Joe APC’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

July 1, 2020July 1, 2020 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, toy collecting0 comment

Today I’m checking out one of the best large G.I.Joe vehicles from 1983. The G.I. Joe APC was The largest vehicle from this year and one of the best all time vehicles for G.I. Joe. This did not come with a driver but did hold most of the G.I. Joes one may have acquired by 1983. I would have loved to see the classic military transport M35 style truck, but this is a pretty awesome transport. The figures sit pretty tight in the seats and there is a seat belt that holds them all…

G.I.Joe ‘Slugger’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m switching to vehicles. The 1984 G.I. Joe Slugger is one cool vehicle. This was used in the cartoon and the comics. The Slugger comes with the driver Thunder. Thunder is one of those characters I don’t remember him having a lot of lines in the cartoon but he was in a lot of them. I don’t really know a ton about him other then he drives this pretty badass vehicle. I did not have one of these as a kid, but this has always been one of my favorite vehicles.…
