2006 G.I. Joe Collectors' Convention 12" Exclusive Set!

May 2006 - For the past nine years, the G.I. Joe Collectors' Club has celebrated our hero with annual conventions that have been hosted all over our great country. In reality, it is you, the collector, who is the real hero as you have kept the G.I. Joe flag waving proudly. You have shared your fun, enthusiasm, and love for the greatest action figure ever with thousands of friends and children. This year, we are calling for collectors of all ages to join us in New Orleans as "Heroes Unite" from all over the world for the 10th Annual International G.I. Joe Collectors' Convention sponsored by Hasbro and the G.I. Joe Collectors' Club.

As in past years, there are two different outstanding convention sets that every G.I. Joe collector will want to add to their collection. Once again, the club has worked very hard to bring you only the highest quality and most innovative sets possible!

The 12" set is our first ever convention Adventure Team set entitled Fight For Survival: Polar Bear Attack! This set will combine many of the items from the 1969 Fight for Survival set along with several new items.

One of the new items is a polar bear that stands 10 1/2 inches tall. This ain't no miniature abominable snowman!

The Land Adventurer Explorer will come with a blue parka with removable flag insignia. You can pick if your Explorer is from the United States, Great Britain or Canada. He will come with snow pants, white waffle boots, backpack, cargo net, rope, goggles, 4 crates, sled, harness, 3 dogs, ice pick, red snow shoes, rifle, binoculars, mittens, turtleneck shirt and an AT flag! In addition, we have retooled the vintage dogs for the sled team! You will also be able to add 3 more dogs (at an additional cost) with connecting harnesses so that you can have a 6 dog sled team.

This year's extra loose figure (for an additional cost) will be the painted hair 1969 version of the Survival figure with the red parka and removable flag insignia. This is one of the greatest AT sets that has ever been made!
