Registration has been live for just over 24 hours now and we have news of a new guest, and a new exclusive!
Will Ryan will be making an appearance at the Convention, which we actually first learned when the Brochure was revealed. Mr. Ryan, of course, was the voice for Footloose in the Sunbow animated series. As expected as well, thanks to a Tweet from the GIJoe Collectors Club Twitter feed, we also now know for sure that they will have carded Footloose figures available at the convention!
Limits have not yet been revealed, but let’s hope there are enough to go around.
The GIJoeCon.com website does not mention the carded Footloose figure yet (that I can see), but I have mirrored an image of the Tweet below.

One of the great things about those old Sunbow cartoons was that there was quite a bit of cross over voice talent between them. Chances are, most folks voicing one series probably did some work in the other. The most obvious example of this, of course, would be Chris Latta’s work as both Cobra Commander and Starscream.
Recently, the G.I. Joe Convention has started inviting voice talent to their shows, while over on the Transformers side, BotCon has been doing it a while. Well, BotCon is sticking to their formula, and this year making his first ever convention appearance will be the voice of Blaster, Buster Jones!
For G.I. Joe fans, this means Doc and Zap. So if you’re a fan of either of these two characters, and you’re in the Dallas area, you may want to make a trip to BotCon…I’m not sure Mr. Jones is someone that the Collectors’ Club would invite to JoeCon, so get him while he’s hot!
Thanks to HissTank.com for the information.
