Read MoreThe 1980s were a golden era for action figures, with Hasbro’s G.I. Joe line at the forefront of the toy industry. Among the many memorable characters introduced in the G.I. Joe universe, Big Boa stands out as one of the most unique and intriguing. Released in 1987, Big Boa was the Cobra organization’s brutish drill instructor, tasked with whipping new recruits into shape with his fierce training regimens. But how did this character come to be, and what was the story behind his creation? Concept and Development The character of…

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 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 Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at the new G.I. Joe Classified Shooter. This is a solid figure. I like the idea they got this character from the original concepts, but Shooter never became a character and was said to be a prank back in the day. She is a nice throwback to the original 13 and would have been cool but I believe they stopped at 13 to honor the 13 stripes on the Flag. Any hoot I did not get my…
Read MoreStory by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a G.I. Joe figure that is under appreciated in my opinion. In 1994 Hasbro was still pumping out some cool figures. This was past my prime but I found a new love for GI Joe as a collector and there was some really cool 1994 figures. Effects is one of those hard to find figures and probably gets forgotten a lot. This is a figure that has a good amount of detail. His head really is…
Read MoreWelcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a G.I. Joe figure that is under appreciated in my opinion. The 1993 Battle Corp Muskrat is a figure I never hear anything on. This is actually a really cool version. I had the original Muskrat as a kid and I think everyone will agree he is awesome. Somehow I think the 1993 version slipped through the crack. Now he was oddly changed from a jungle/swamp soldier to a heavy fire specialist but the figure itself had potential. There are…
