Wizard World Chicago:
Hasbro - GI Joe
The Star Wars section had the "take a picture of yourself as a carded action figure" display, but the equivalent display in the GI Joe section had a twist. The giant card and bubble display was a two-pack, and Hasbro had a "booth girl" dressed up as the Baroness, so that you didn't need a second person to fill out the two-pack. There may have been other characters there during the convention, but for the time that we were there, it was the Baroness. She was very attractive, and this was a popular display which always had a line. Surprisingly, the line also usually had women and children in it, in addition to men.

The Hasbro booth was the largest at the convention, and had multiple display cases devoted to GI Joe, both the 12-inch Joes and the GI Joe: Real American Hero figures. The Joe section had two highlights: (1) a giant diorama of 3.75" figures and vehicles (first picture below) and (2) the Baroness.
