NEWS: JoeCon 2011 Pics


As JoeCon 2011 approaches its end for another year, there's no better time to see what Hasbro has planned for us Joe Fans, including the upcoming GI Joe: Renegades figures and what's in store to celebrate the line's 30th Anniversary.

Let's start at General Joes which - by way of Toy News International - has a great gallery of images from the Renegades and 30th Anniversary figures.

HISSTank.com has some awesome in-depth coverage of the panels, discussions and line-reveals. As well as looking at the upcoming toys, there's also some spoilers for the GI Joe: Renegades show and details of the GI Joe Collector Club.

The Terror Drome continues the excellent coverage with images of the upcoming Pursuit of Cobra, Renegades and 30th Anniversary toys.

It's reassuring to see Hasbro putting so much push behind the GI Joe line, given that many Walmart stores appear to be no longer carrying the figures and stock levels have been so low in others. The three-pronged attack of the Renegades, 30th Anniversary and Pursuit.... lines is an interesting tactic and appears to be an attempt to cover as many bases as possible among the fans. I think it's a strategy that could work and given the ''cross-compatibility'' of the three lines, it'll hopefully be a great year for Joe fans.

  1. I think the stores are letting the lines dwindle in order to make room for all the great new figures. : )

  2. It's funny - I just got back from TRU and they'd restocked the shelves with a load of PoC AND RoC figures!
