Joe Con 2015 has begun!
Technically it began a few days ago but last night was package registration and souvenir purchasing at the store. In true Joe Con fashion, getting through the lines was a lot like the intended cruise on Gilligan’s Island – it was a 3 hour tour!
This year’s convention comic contains an introduction by new brand manager Mark Weber which offers some clarity as to the direction the brand will take in 2015.
- The G.I. Joe 50th line will continue as a shared Toys R Us/BigBadToyStore.com line in the Fall of 2015. New product will be shown at the Hasbro booth this weekend. (PLEASE have Concept Case Gung-Ho!!!)
- There will be a new SDCC 2015 G.I. Joe exclusive that will be sold at the SDCC with limited quantities to be available on HasbroToyShop.com later.
I’ve included scans below of both the cover and the intro page with the full introductions. Now it’s time to pack the car and head back down to Springfield for Joe Con 2015 day 2! (Really 1.5) Expect some souvenir pictures up on JBL within the next 24 hours as well as new Joe Con 2015 pictures this evening!
