Dear G.I. JOE fans,
Thank you for your support at JoeCon. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting with you and are thrilled by the reaction we have seen to the upcoming line. We can’t wait to speak with more fans at Comic-Con next week.
We are also pleased to let fans know that after sending out the full allotment of DOC figures from the mail away promotion, we are producing a second run of figures to make sure that everyone who participates gets a figure. If you have not received your figure yet, please hold tight as the second shipment is due in September.
Best,
The G.I. JOE team
