Tweet Fans of custom figures in the G.I. Joe community are probably familiar with the name “Kevin Watts.” Know for his imaginative parts use and mind-blowing painting skills, Kevin is the mastermind behind the Canv-HISS project showcased at the 2013 G.I. Joe Collector’s Convention. He’s also the project lead behind last year’s amazing Metal-Head fan [...] Tweet The 2013 G.I. Joe Collector’s Convention has come and gone and the summary of this year’s JoeCon has been posted. I’ve updated the G.I. Joe Collector’s Convention page with the latest con summary including links to all of the previously posted content as well as a final wrap-up of all things that I [...] Tweet If you’ve been you’ve been following the JoeCon coverage here at JBL over the past few days– thank you! It’s been several years since I’ve been both at a con and an active part of the Joe community and there was some personal apprehension about coming back to this event after being away for [...] Tweet I promised yesterday that I’d go back and take pictures of the remaining custom figures on display at JoeCon. Thankfully, there was enough of a break in the schedule today that I was able to fulfill that particular promise. Again, the custom work by these folks is not to be underestimated! Just some truly [...] Tweet This year at JoeCon many fans seemed disappointed that Hasbro didn’t have more to showcase in terms of new product.

So, attendees steeled themselves and found other [...] Tweet In a previous JoeCon post I gushed for a bit over the custom G.I. Joe figures on display at the show. If you thought the gushing was over, think again as this post covers one of my other favorite things here– the diorama displays. This year at JoeCon there was no big Hasbro G.I. [...] Tweet One of my favorite parts of any JoeCon is the display of custom figures up for judging. I’m not a customizer myself. (Just a hack writer who likes to shoot pics of figures and offer opinions under the guise of a “review.”) However, I am in awe of the creativity and inventiveness of the [...] Tweet More news from JoeCon from the land of the block figures– KreO! Hasbro’s product showing on Friday was pretty minimal but what they lacked in quantity they made up for in quality. The wave two Kre-O sets were on hand and should be hitting Toys R Us in the coming months. Of course, all [...] Tweet Okay, it’s time for a game of “JoeCon Good News/Bad News”. The good news is that Hasbro was on hand once again and has the ultra cool Toma– EAGLEHAWK helicopter on display. Not only do they have the prototype from Toy Fair but also John Warden was showcasing a production model of this amazing [...] Tweet Yes, technically I realize that this is being posted very early Friday morning but it was a pretty chaotic first night at JoeCon 2013. (It’s also the first time my girlfriend has been to one but more on that later.) Registration was pretty much registration. In spite of the staff’s best efforts, the [...] |
