Read MoreThe 1990’s were some interesting time for G.I. Joes. A lot of the figures and vehicles got away from a military looking style Joe, but there were still some pretty cool stuff happening, and think I appreciate the 90 stuff more now, but I was in high school in the 90s so I had gotten out of G.I. Joe and it wasn’t till later in life I rediscovered some of the great 90s stuff. Two vehicles stuck out to me and I was able to get my hands on them and…
Read MoreWelcome to Outback’s Outpost. Today I’m going to dive into a short lived toy line, the 1995 G.I.Joe Extreme toy line. When G.I.Joe Extreme hit toy shelves, these were not the Joes we were used to having. We went from some of the best articulated figures to statues. I acquired a lot of these figures a few years back in a collection I bought. These are not something I would normally have bought from retail, but since I have them they do have some collectible value. Some of the characters developed into…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m going to take a break from figures and review one of the greatest midsize play sets at least in my mind. The 1985 G.I.Joe Tactical Battle Platform. This was not huge so this would reach many households and still be able to display without taking over a room. I did not have one unfortunately as a kid but I did pick one up as a collector. There are so many great features on this starting at the top with the helicopter landing pad. This is…

Read More1982 Flash One of my all time favorite G.I. Joe’s is the 1982 Flash. This was one of the first figures I received as a child for Xmas in 1982. The Unique thing about the 1982 figures is they are the only year with with straight arms and only year to get the signature swivel arms as a 1.5 version in 1983. A feature that was added to the figures for better articulation for holding weapons and gear. Something the older generation was used to seeing with the 12 inch…

Read MoreG.I. Joe has always had a lineup of vehicles to support the figure lines. The 12 inch line has had various vehicles over the past 55 years. Various jeeps, tanks, and many other smaller vehicles that went very well with the 12 inch figures. When the 3-3/4 inch line hit in 1982 the vehicles were a huge part of the success of this line. Some of the vehicles are more of a character then the character. There was such a huge range of vehicles ranging from small vehicles like the RAM…

Read More2019 was a bust for action figures! 2019 rolled out crappy right from the get go as far as collecting action figures goes. G.I. Joe was a complete bust for any new modern type figures and a bit of a bust for me at second hand places such as my local flea market and yard sales. Probably my best find was a 2008 twelve inch Beachhead that I had been searching for on line for several years now. I would have to say for myself the best figure line was…
