First Class subscribers are starting to get their G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club newsletters in the mail, and while there doesn’t appear to be an update for the Convention Exclusive items, the Collectors’ Club does say that the first three Adventure Team figures will be available at JoeCon 2010! I for one am really looking forward to these, especially the Doctor Venom. It’s been too long… it wasn’t specifically mentioned which three figures would be available, but the three we’ve seen images for so far are Dr. Venom, Air Adventurer w/ FANG Helicopter, and the Land Adventurer with a Battle Blitz repaint. Check out the gallery from the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club Panel at JoeCon last year:
According to a thread on the GIJCC Message Boards, we should expect the 2010 G.I. Joe Convention Brochure to appear this week. This is the following post from GIJCC staffmember “The Commander”:
“Finally, there will be no more clues – as the full 2010 Convention Brochure will be available this week!”
The G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club website for the upcoming JoeCon in Kansas City has been hacked! Nefarious COBRA agents have apparently taken over GIJoeCon.com and converted it to COBRA Con!
EDIT- Apparently Dataframe and Dial Tone got things back on track, but COBRA won’t let anyone forget what they did!
We knew the 12″ Crimson Guard was a para-drop figure this year at the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Convention in Kansas City, but I don’t think any of us knew how bad ass he was going to look. This is one fantastic looking figure. GIJoeCon.com has posted a look at the figure here. I have mirrored two of the images below, but there are a lot more at the source.
GIJoeCon.com has been updated with some nice little tidbits of information. First and foremost, for folks wanting some Rise of COBRA stars to appear at the show, your wish has been granted. “Heavy Duty” himself, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje will be appearing at the show in Kansas City! Click here for full details. Also check the ever-growing list of convention guests here.
Secondly, there is also a cover preview for the 22-page comic that is slated to be released as part of the Convention set. Click the thumbnail below for the full version, and check out all other details here.
