Hascon 2017: Full Schedule For G. I. Joe Brand Related Panels And Events

Posted on September 5, 2017 at 4:20 am by Silver Optimus under HASCON

We are just 3 days away from our first ever Hascon; a convention hosted by Hasbro showcasing their brand portfolio, very much like Disney’s D23 Expo.

Hascon 2017 will take place in Providence, Rhode Island from September 8th to 10th. Full schedule is now online with several changes to the earlier known schedule.

Things are kicking off for us in the afternoon with a panel highlighting the cool packaging we grew up with. We are also expected to see a great Brand Experience celebrating 35 years of wonder.

    I'm disinclined to believe there will be a dealer room. I'm imagining this whole thing to be like Disney D23, which really doesn't seem to have those sort of dealer rooms like most fan conventions. They still sell stuff, but I don't think we'll be seeing BBTS and the like setting up tables with this expo.

    Considering Fub Pub still has the options to a Joe convention through 2018, I'm not expecting much of anything from GI Joe unless Hasbro actually has a plan for some new push in 2018. Which is still a maybe.

    Well damn, GI Joe was mentioned alongside Transformers and MLP. Maybe we will see something new at this convention.

    Didn't FunPub say they can't do Cobra La because Hasbro won't let them. It might be pipe dream but maybe they will give us some Cobra La love at this new Con.

    I wasn't expecting this with Joe Con next year as well. Will definitely be popular since all their brands will be present, which makes for a nice family affair if you have children. Will we see a 15 figure set and vehicles for G.I. Joe? Probably not, that's the Club's tradition. I'm betting there will be some sort of con exclusive for G.I. Joe, as well as product announcements. Things just got interesting, especially after IDW's Revolution series.
