It’s JoeCon brochure day! The most magical day of the year…
It’s the day when speculation of the upcoming G.I. Joe Convention Set can officially begin, and looking at the brochure, there’s going to be plenty of speculation to go around!
Check out the brochure over at GIJoeCon.com and see that the Sky Patrol convention set has been confirmed! But not just Sky Patrol. The G.I. Joe Collectors Club also mentions the COBRA ADDERS featuring Sky Creeper, Air Devil Troopers and Night Vultures! COBRA Air Commandos! SWEET!
The Air Commandos are some of my favorite obscure 90s G.I. Joe characters, and I am beyond thrilled to see them included here. Not only that, but it also looks like the Club is dipping into the International Sky Patrol figures, Abutre Negro (Black Vulture) and Escorpiao Voador (Flying Scorpion). Looking at the parts for these great international figures, you can see the club could easily repurpose their Cesspool head and other parts.
Plus, just looking at the brochure, it immediately becomes clear that G.I. Joe fans are pretty damn handsome.
So Loveland, Colorado, June 16th-19th. Will I see you there?
Keep watching GIJoeCon.com for the latest details!
Very excited to see images of these! I’ve always enjoyed Sky patrol. I have very distinct memories of my grandmother buying me three of them at a Toys R Us when they first came out. I still have them, too!
I’m a little bored with seeing JOE repaint sub-teams as con sets, though at least Sky Patrol had original characters. I was actually kind of hoping the rumored Cobra-La theme was happening.
Man, I wish I could go. It’s a matter of money, really. Flying to Colorado and trying to find lodging near the con that isn’t stupid-expensive seems…tricky, not to mention all the stuff I’d likely buy at the Con. Sad to think it might be my last chance, though…
