Although they weren’t included in Hasbro’s official SDCC 2015 press releases this weekend, they did announce a couple of G.I. JOE sets at G.I. JOECon a couple of months ago. The Desert Duel set will be available through Entertainment Earth / Toys R Us at the show, while the Crimson Strike set will be at the regular spot at the HasbroToyShop booth. I’ll look for additional info on how these may be available online after the show.
Suffice to say, I’m not expecting much more in terms of new G.I. JOE announcements at the show, but we can keep our fingers crossed.
