Cobra Island – February 26, 2010 – Today, Cobra Commander has announced that Cobracon 2010 will be held at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence, Rhode Island from April 29th to May 2nd. Cobra wants to make sure that the fans of Cobra do not confuse this show with GIJoecon 2010, also being held in Providence, Rhode Island from April 29th to May 2nd. No, CobraCon will be FAR more exciting!!!
Unlike last year’s convention (apologies again for the unexpected exposure of mind control gas at the Saturday Night Dinner event), this year’s CobraCon promises a smooth and relatively danger free show, complete with a special appearance by Black Major and his trusty comrades, the Red Shadows. Along with special guests, art contests, an invasion of Hasbro’s headquarters, panels and seminars featuring Hasbro and other Cobra supporters, this year’s convention is THE show to attend!
So what are you waiting for! Just head on over to our convention site now and sign up for the Cobra event of a lifetime. NOW! Cobraaaaaaaaaaa! www.CobraCon.com. Be sure to click the page to see our latest CobraCon video! About COBRA
For over 25 years, Cobra has been the leading international criminal organization, offering the whole of humanity the finest in criminal espionage, homicidal clones, doomsday scenarios and an alternative to the decadent and foolish governance of so-called ‘democracy.’ Located on Cobra Island and any number of small towns near you, Cobra reaches more people than any rival organization; with attacks on G.I. Joe and the many countries they help defend such as Japan, Great Britain, Brazil, Australia and Canada. For more information visit our convention site.

So, over on the GIJCC Message Boards, staffmember The Commander reported that the Convention brochure for the 2010 convention would be revealed this week…and well, with today being Friday, one would have to assume that today is the day we find out what the exclusive set theme is and some more information about the Convention in Providence, Rhode Island.
At one point, this was the focus of everyone’s attention in the weeks leading up to the revelation, but it almost seems like in recent years it’s become a source of mockery and eye rolling, which is a shame. I strongly believe this year’s set will be an old school O-Ring format, which has me almost giddy with anticipation. Perhaps missing last year’s Convention (for the first time since 2003) has ramped up my enthusiasm for this year…or maybe it’s because there appears to be a LOT of very cool stuff on the horizon. Resolute, The Pursuit of Cobra, the potential for a film sequel, the upcoming animated series, and even the web-series Operation: HISS. It seems like there is so much to be fired up about, I grow more and more disappointed that this enthusiasm isn’t shared by many other Joe fans out there.
Regardless, I’ll sit in my little corner and remain excited for the Convention this year and excited to see what’s in store for the 15 figure set… in my opinion, I think it’ll be the Red Shadows, and I think we’ll see more O-Ring construction, both of which has me very excited.
But what characters? What parts? What tooling? At this point that would almost be anyone’s guess. Rumors of destroyed tooling throws this all into the wind, as there is really no way to tell what’s out there any more and what isn’t.
All I know, is hopefully we’ll be hearing some information today! Keep checking GIJoeClub.com and GIJoeCon.com throughout the day to get the info!
