Story By Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. 1994 was a sad year for GI Joe fans. Hasbro decided to end the 3-3/4 inch Joe line. Most of the eighties kids who had grow up on Joes now were in high school, college, or starting a family. Joes faded out and most of us didn’t even know it at the time, Me being one of them as I graduated high school this year and started college. Nevertheless years later I rediscovered GI Joe. There was a vast sea of Joe…

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look back at the 1991 G.I. Joe Attack Cruiser. By far this is one of the oddest looking vehicles in the original Joe lineup from 82-94. This holds 3 figures one in the front cockpit, one behind that and one off to the side. The wheels don’t line up and it makes this vehicle just look odd. The glider bomb however saved this oddity. A bit before its time perhaps but this would make for a great drone…

Story 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…

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a G.I. Joe vehicle I feel is under appreciated. The 1992 G.I.Joe Barracuda. This is a mini sub, but is a really cool small vehicle. I remember seeing a 3-3/4 style sub at ToysRus back around 2010 that was a cool vehicle and I thought this would have been a cool Joe vehicle. However the mini Barracuda is a cool small sub that packs a nice punch. This holds one figure so you might need a…
