Let me tell you about a hero who doesn’t need words to make an impact. Snake Eyes, the silent warrior of the G.I. Joe universe, has been a personal favorite of mine since he first appeared back in ’82. There’s something about that black-clad ninja that just sticks with you, isn’t there? Why Snake Eyes Stands Out It’s his silence that really sets him apart. In a world where everyone’s shouting to be heard, Snake Eyes moves in shadows, letting his actions speak volumes. It’s ironic that a cost-cutting move gave…

In the pantheon of G.I. Joe heroes, few stand as tall and as proud as the indomitable Sgt. Slaughter. His legacy within the G.I. Joe universe is not just a testament to the character’s impact on the franchise but also a reflection of the unique blend of reality and fiction that the series is known for. The Arrival of a Wrestling Icon Sgt. Slaughter, born from the larger-than-life persona of professional wrestler Robert Rudolph Remus, first stormed into the G.I. Joe world in 1985. He was the first real-life personality…

In the vast and intricate world of G.I. Joe, a franchise that encompasses toys, comics, cartoons, and movies, few groups stand out quite like the Dreadnoks. This band of renegade mercenaries, introduced in the early 1980s, has captured the imagination of fans with their unique blend of anarchy, loyalty, and comic relief. The Dreadnoks serve as a significant antagonist force, often aligned with Cobra, G.I. Joe’s main adversary, but their distinct personality and modus operandi set them apart from the typical villainous fare. Origins and Evolution The Dreadnoks were first…

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a G.I. Joe character’s figure that is under appreciated in my opinion. Scarlett was an original 13 and the first female on the Joe team. At the time this was an interesting move having a female character in a toy line aimed at young boys. The character and original figure worked well and Scarlett was an instant fan favorite. Apparently someone up stairs didn’t get the memo and it would take 11 years for Scarlett to…
