Cobra announces CobraCon 2010 in Providence, Rhode Island

Cobra Island – February 26, 2010 – Today, Cobra Commander has announced that Cobracon 2010 will be held at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence, Rhode Island from April 29th to May 2nd. Cobra wants to make sure that the fans of Cobra do not confuse this show with GIJoecon 2010, also being held in Providence, Rhode Island from April 29th to May 2nd. No, CobraCon will be FAR more exciting!!!

Unlike last year’s convention (apologies again for the unexpected exposure of mind control gas at the Saturday Night Dinner event), this year’s CobraCon promises a smooth and relatively danger free show, complete with a special appearance by Black Major and his trusty comrades, the Red Shadows. Along with special guests, art contests, an invasion of Hasbro’s headquarters, panels and seminars featuring Hasbro and other Cobra supporters, this year’s convention is THE show to attend!

So what are you waiting for! Just head on over to our convention site now and sign up for the Cobra event of a lifetime. NOW! Cobraaaaaaaaaaa! www.CobraCon.com. Be sure to click the page to see our latest CobraCon video!

Two more cast members join the “G.I. Joe” Team

According to this article at IESB.net, Heavy Duty and Breaker have joined the G.I. Joe Motion Picture team. While many fans will continue to question the constant inclusion of Heavy Duty over Roadblock, I think it’s safe to say people are pretty excited to see Breaker as part of the team.

Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Mr. Eko of “Lost” fame) will portray the G.I. Joe Heavy Weapons Expert while Said Taghmaoui will star as the Communications Specialist. Quite a step up from the Marlon Wayans rumors that were circulating earlier today. Click on each actor’s name to see their IMDB profiles and thanks to SPC Airborne for the heads up.
