With JoeCon behind us, all eyes are forward to the next big event, which takes form in the shape of the Canadian JoeCon, coming August 10th – 11th at the Sheraton in Toronto, Ontario! The show has been running for several years, and is one of the favorite destinations of not just Canadian G.I. Joe fans, but also many domestic fans as well. One of the highlights of the show is the super-limited edition figure boxed set, which has dominated the secondary market and thrilled Joe fans across many countries.
The Canadian JoeCon celebrated Canada Day by revealing their first figure in the set… Traction! Apparently a vehicle driver, Traction is also an explosives expert. Not satisfied with one reveal, this morning, the Canadian JoeCon launched a preview for figure #2… H.A.G.A.R.! In a very surprising move, the Canadian JoeCon guys dipped back into the o-ring wells, using the Valor Vs. Venom B.A.T. figure with a more modern vest on top of it. Very interesting choice.
Make sure you keep visiting JoeCanuck.com for the latest updates, and for more information on this convention, hit up CanadianJoeCon.com. Also, you can purchase your tickets in advance, and meanwhile, take a peek at the two figures revealed below.

Yes, that’s a question, because I have no idea…but I was perusing some of my favorite G.I. Joe sites today, and what do I see in the upper corner of JoeCanuck.com?
This guy:
Okay, so that’s definitely Jason Loo’s artwork…or seems to be, anyway. He’s the guy that typically does the art for the Canadian JoeCon Exclusives. So of course, I eagerly jumped into the site and looked around, but saw no mention of this anywhere. What the–?
I guess it could be a mistake, or perhaps a sign of things to come, but whatever the case, the figure looks really cool. So, of course, you’ll want to keep June 18th in mind if you’re at all interested. No guarantees, but it certainly seems to be leading that way. The full information for the upcoming Canadian JoeCon can be seen below:
