In a very unexpected announcement, Hascon Website has updated information about the upcoming Hascon 2019. The convention has been postponed.
After the first Hascon convention in 2017, the next convention was not in 2018 as you might expect, instead the next Hascon was announced to be on Sept. 6 – 8, 2019, in Providence, R.I. at the Rhode Island Convention Center and Dunkin’ Donuts Center. Now, the website has uploaded a brief announcement (thanks to HISSTANK Boards member skinny for the heads up) about Hascon 2019:
“Hascon 2019 Has Been Postponed
Our inaugural HASCON in 2017 was a tremendous success thanks to fans like you and we want to ensure we are bringing the most exciting talent, entertainment, experiences and news to our future events.
Please check back for updates or follow us on Twitter and Instagram @Hasbro”
We now need to wait for more information about the new date, or maybe a new location. Stay tuned to HISSTANK for any updates. Click on the bar to join to the ongoing on the Boards!
Partnering with Kilburn Entertainment, Hasbro is set to establish Family Entertainment Centers across United States and Canada.
Among the properties that will be featured on these centers is G.I. Joe. Yes; this is the first time our beloved Joe brand is listed prominently on an official Hasbro press release, in many years.
G.I. Joe will join My Little Pony, Monopoly, Mr. Potatohead, Clue, Battleship, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Trivial Pursuit and Chutes/Snakes & Ladders for “an interactive, immersive and innovative entertainment experiences in a high-energy, gamified environment with multiple activity zones.”
With an upcoming live action movie and entertainment zones, it is clear that Hasbro is planning for a revival of the brand.
“Hasbro is committed to ‘creating the world’s best play experiences.’ In our 95-year history, Hasbro has transcended the toy aisle to become a lifestyle brand that both kids and adults enjoy,” Hasbro Consumer Products Senior Vice President and General Manager Casey Collins said in a statement. “Our partnership with Kilburn will allow us — for the first time ever — to offer a wholly immersive and true play experience that unlocks a totally new and exciting way for fans to experience the Hasbro family of brands.”
Pop Culture Shock Collectibles debuted their G.I. Joe Storm Shadow 1/4 scale statue at New York comic-Con 2018.
Kotobukiya has artwork previews of some of their upcoming G.I. Joe Bishoujo (pretty lady) Statues. They are giving away some posters throughout the event featuring the concept art for The Baroness, Lady Jay and Scarlett.
