Well my friends, another year, another G.I.Joe Convention draws to a close. After next year, that won’t be a statement I’ll be able to repeat for the foreseeable future.

If you haven’t heard by now, it’s been confirmed that there will be no G.I.Joe retail presence in either 2017 or 2018. After next year, there will be no G.I.Joe Club offerings, either. The next time we see G.I.Joe will be via media tie in (movie, TV, etc). Mr. Derryl DePriest noted that G.I.Joe will not be licensed, as Hasbro plans to re-imagine the brand.

That said though, there will be a G.I.Joe presence at HasCon, with details to be provided in 2 weeks. It will be the Friday of HasCon and will run attendees $600. Word has it that they’re working hard to ensure that the ticket price is worth it, so let’s stay positive and see what happens. Derryl has always worked to do the best that he can for the brand in the past and I’m sure this new scenario will be no different.

As far as new toys go, fret not! There’s still that awesome Cobra Missile Command HQ coming out, plus there’s a full year of offerings from the G.I.Joe Club, including Heartwrencher and the Dreadnok Ground Assault, FSS 7 and more. Rock n Roll v2 as the Club incentive figure? Sign me up! G.I.Joe has been here before and we as fans were waiting for it on the other side. I’m sure we’ll do so again this time around.

Special thanks go to GIJoeComics08 and Just Another G.I.Joe Show for sharing intel from the show with us all weekend. Also, I’d like to personally salute Joe Declassified for their amazing tribute to Goggles. The sightline figure that was given away will undoubtedly be cherished by all that were able to obtain one and it couldn’t have been executed in a manner more fitting. Kudos, Gents.

Below is a re-cap of convention related stories that we ran during GIJoeCon 2017. We hope you had fun at the show and look forward to making the next year one to remember!

Thanks to HISSTANK.com forum members sba and supermanblue for sharing images of their recently received G.I.Joe Collectors Club Member Incentive Big Lob Figure. Big Lob was the final figure from the roughneck squad to get immortalized in Modern Era form. The carded version of Big Lob sold out quickly and it’s easy to see why, as he’s a fantastic looking figure.

Have you received your Big Lob figure? Sound off after the break!

By way of the io9 comes official details of the G.I.Joe exclusive being offered this year.

Ladies & Gents – This year, fans will have the opportunity to add the Cobra Missile Command Center to their collections! Here’s the scoop –

Hasbro’s recreation of the set, which will be available at its San Diego Comic-Con booth (#3329) and later on HasbroToyShop.com for $50, still uses cardboard, but with recreated graphics. Hasbro’s even gone to the trouble of making the box look weathered so it appears as if it’s been sitting in your parent’s basement for decades.

After all these years, you can finally add this piece of cardboard beauty to your collection! For those of us that won’t be attending SDCC, time to get those F5 keys ready!

What are your thoughts on the G.I.Joe SDCC exclusive? Sound off after the break!

Our friends from  Just Another G.I.Joe Show have shared images of this year’s convention attendee exclusive item. Although we’re awaiting the “official” name, the freebie is a G.I.Joe L.A.W., repainted in gray & blue and designated as a Cobra platform. This was done to go alongside the Cobra Laser Viper 3 pack being offered at the show.

What’s your take on this? Want to add it to your collection or is it an easy pass? Sound off after the break!
