SHOW THE LOVE: Outback

I don't think Outback gets enough love.

Shout it out for Stuart R. Selkirk.

Yes, absolutely, one of the classics of the late 80s and a personal fave.

Always wondered if he was ever planned to be blonde and another Rock & Roll, and/or painted very differently and an Iron Grenadier leader. Super glad he turned out the way he did though, don’t get me wrong!

I love Outback top ten joes when I was a kid and they have done an incredible job on him for classified as well .

I remember Outback being the first Arah figure to have removable webgear I always liked his gun and that huge backpack and the removable flashlight on his leg ..

Outback is cool. I love the story in Special Missions where he goes all SERE to get out of Borovia.

He also got a decent story in AF Monthly against the Dreadnoks in Australia's Outback alongside Psyche Out.

His role in the comics was fantastic and he has one of the coolest Special Missions covers.

Pay no attention to the username: Stu is my all-time, A-number-1 favorite GI Joe character. His look perfectly embodies everything I love about Joe, he has shown himself to be one of the toughest & most talented members of the team and his codename is catchy...though I 've taken to referring to him as OB.

I made my own SURVIVAL shirt to work out in and I always get interesting looks and comments from folks. No one has made the connection yet.

Definitely a top 10 Joe for me. Got a lot of childhood adventures with Recondo and Outback battling against (my only) Range-Viper and Gnawgahyde.

Nah, it's fair. The lawn was planted with mixed grass seed by the previous tenant and it was clumpy as all hell. Horrible to mow if it got too long.
