Serpentorslair Staff, , , , 0 comment

This week in Loveland Colorado is the final official G.I.Joe Convention for now, and we thought it would be appropriate, before the Convention gets going, to take a look back at all of the great items that Fun Publications has brought to the fans over the past several years. If you are a fan of G.I.Joe you are going to enjoy this walk down memory Lane. One thing is for certain, if you are a fan of ‘sub-teams’ the club has given you a lot of great figures to add…

This has been a sad week for the G.I. Joe community. The end of an era for G.I. Joe is upon us my friends. In what has been long-rumored, Fun Publications (a.k.a. Fun Pub) posted a statement (via their Facebook Page) this past week–that all but puts the nail in the coffin for the company’s alliance with Hasbro, and in effect, their Transformers and G.I. Joe club memberships. Sent out by Brian from Fun Pub on Monday… Some are remaining slightly optimistic that there is still hope and could get…

Serpentorslair Staff, , , 0 comment

It has been VERY hush hush from the G.I.Joe Collectors Club this year. We have yet to even get a street date for the Figure Subscription Service 3.0. That said, the club facebook page has released the logo for the 2015 G.I.Joe Convention. This should dissuade a lot of the rumors that there would not be a convention next year. What do you think?

All of the regular attendees of the annual G.I.Joe Convention know about the Backdrop that Cosplayers and fans can have their pictures taken in front of.

The project is almost funded, there are only 6 days to go and it is $105 dollars from being completed. Lets all pitch in what we can every dollar…
