G.I. Joe Convention 2017 reviews continue today! The boxed set is behind us, so now we’re moving on to some of the extra’s. Today we’re looking at the parachute figure Backstop, and both figures from the “Ultimate Enemies” two-pack Dee Jay and COBRA Corrosion.

Reviewing the convention sets is always a challenge because there is so much to cover and I try to get them done as quickly as I can. Obviously some years are quicker than others. π
However, part of me really enjoys the feeling of diving into the whole set all at once, touching each figure again, checking them with each other, reliving the joy of acquisition.

The video is really well produced and edited and was a very fun watch! You should check it out on YouTube, and don’t forget to hit up 3DJoes.com for their fantastic take at the history of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero.
As a great compliment to the ongoing G.I. Joe Convention, several regional shows have cropped up, and one of the best has been Assembly Required in Des Moines, Iowa.
Dates for this year’s show have been announced, and expect it to be November 4th, 2017. With great vendors, informative panels and a gathering of awesome fellow G.I. Joe fans, this is a show I’ve hoped to attend several times, but have not been able to make it work.
Don’t make the same mistake I have, circle the date on your calendar, and keep watching the Codename: Iowa Facebook Page for updates!
