Wow! Once again, huge props to Chris McLeod from The Full Force who has come through HUGE upon returning from his whirlwind trip to JoeCon. He was kind enough to send along video reviews for all of the rest of the JoeCon exclusives and they have all been posted to the GeneralsJoes YouTube Channel.
I couldn’t make JoeCon again this year, a fact that I was quite disappointed about, and Chris came through in a massive way. Huge thanks to Chris from The Full Force and check out the embedded videos below.

Brian also (mostly) confirmed that next year will most likely be the final G.I. Joe Convention, and it will be June 21st – 24th in Chattanooga, TN. Big thanks to Patrick and Phil from YoJoe and Chris from The Full Force for the updates!
Derryl also confirmed that there is no other G.I. Joe product at retail this year nor next year. The next time G.I. Joe will be at retail is with the next piece of entertainment (working alongside Paramount). There is no news on that right now, but they are working hard to get that entertainment to cinemas as soon as they possibly can.
HasCon has not been developed as a replacement for JoeCon, and this year its about getting up and going with brands at large, but G.I. Joe WILL be a part of HasCon in the future.
G.I. Joe “VIP Experience” at HasCon Friday, September 8th. Largest assemblage of G.I. Joe: ARAH “legends” (creators) with a special dinner event. Dan Klingensmith working alongside Hasbro to bring this to the fans.
VIP Experience is $600, Derryl is working hard to make sure the fans feel as if the ticket price is worthwhile.
Derryl is also curating some never before seen things that will be revealed at HasCon, product from their archives and exciting new stuff that people have never seen.

Thanks to folks on the ground in Orlando, I’ve got another gallery of JoeCon exclusive images for you, including a few filecards! Check them out below.
