Read MoreStory by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look back to G.I. Joe 1982. A familiar figure with millions of stories and over 70 versions including 3-3/4, 12 inch, 6 inch, and many other scales over the past 40+ years. A figure I had never owned that started it all. The commando cast all in black to save money, but a mysterious character developed and Snake Eyes became one of the most popular characters over the years, expanded within an elaborate story of him and his…

Read MoreStory by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m rolling it make to a troubled time in the GI Joe world. It was a transitional time in my life as well. I was in college and I pledged a fraternity which led me to meeting many different people and having many different experiences I probably would not have had otherwise. One person led me half way across the state and built a family with me. Similar to my trying times GI Joe took a completely different route from their…

Read MoreStory by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the 1995 stand alone 12 inch G.I. Joe SGT Savage figure. As we all know the long run of GI Joe O-ring figures ran from 1982-1994, and the glorious days of GI Joe came to a halt. With it came some trials of some other lines including GI Joe Extreme and SGT. Savage. The SGT Savage figures were cool and the 12 inch figure was pretty awesome. He has a lot of accessories and a tough…

Read MoreStory By Mitchel Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the G.I. Joe 1989 Cobra Fang II. 1989 was a year I received many figures and vehicles including the Fang. I did not have the original Fang so this was something new and cool. At the time I did not think about all the other great vehicles that had been made up till this point. Let’s face it many vehicles and figures from the early eighties were so awesome a second version was like watching “Speed…

Read MoreStory By Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the G.I. Joe Cobra Eel. One thing is for sure whether you are an old school Joe fan, a new fan, or middle of the road fan, the 1980s Joes were all pretty awesome. One of the coolest figures in 1985 was the Cobra Eel. We already had Torpedo from 1994 and we would soon get Wet-Suit in 1986, so having the Eel was perfect for the underwater battles. I did not have an Eel as…

Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look 2008 as a whole. This was a stellar year. Anybody who enjoyed the 25th style Joe from 2007 better have had their pants strapped on because there was a GI Joe explosion about to happen. Filled with comic packs, DVD battle packs, and filled with the iconic vehicles that helped make GI Joe so popular to begin with. I was able to pick up a great deal this year including all the DVD packs and most of the comic packs. Some…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Wow what a year 2023 has been. I know there have been a lot of Joes we have been anticipating, but Hasbro really cranked out a lot of classified figures from several different years and multiple generations. I love the Classified line but the 3-3/4 inch will forever fill my heart. I went through my favorite Christmas hauls from 1982-1994, now I want to take a look at when I started collecting and some of those highly anticipated and sometimes hard to find figures. It seems…
