Latest update for JoeCon, there will be a free figure for attendees (of two presentations) at JoeCon. The figure is a 3 3/4″ “Para-Drop” Flint figure. Since Hasbro is sponsoring a private parachute drop for kids to help promote JoeCon locally They knew that the convention attendees would not be able to attend, so Hasbro still wanted to make sure they could be a part of this event by giving you one of the limited edition Flint figures that will be used at the drop. Attendees that attend either of the two presentations given by Alan Hassenfeld will receive this Exclusive “Para-Drop” Flint figure.

Joe Collectors’ Convention, G.I.Joecon, has announced today that all registered attendees will have the opportunity to receive a “free” Flint parachute figure. On April 29th Hasbro is sponsoring a private parachute drop for school kids to help promote the convention locally.
