Is it just us, or do these Joes look bored? While better than nothing, the club’s “Codename: GIjOE” 12-inch convention exclusive set has generated little excitement among fans who expected something MUCH more inspired for Joe’s long-awaited 50th Anniversary. (Photo: GIJCC)
Will it be a Boom or Bust in “Big D?”?
What’s left to say about this that fans don’t already know? Four days of JoeCon 2014 will begin today in Dallas, TX and run through Sunday, April 13th. If you’re going, you’re probably already there, and if you’re not going, you’re probably not regretting missing it much. After all, last year’s JoeCon 2013 in Indianapolis, IN was a great disappointment for most fans of 1:6 scale GIjOEs, and this year’s 12-inch exclusive set has done little to excite anyone. It’s no secret either, that fans of the smaller RAH Joes will be much more likely to attend this show. We wish them all the best as the club continues its undeniable transition into a predominantly 3.75″ fan-based club.
Bottom Line: Whether this year’s convention turns out being good, bad, or in-between, if you DO choose to attend, please feel free to submit written accounts of your observations via email as “field reports,” along with any photos or videos you may take. We’d love to share them with the rest of the world here on The Joe Report. Thanks in advance. And… Go, JOE!
