It was announced in early 2016 the contract between Hasbro, Inc. and Fun Publications will not be extended and the 2017 International G.I. Joe Collectors Convention (JoeCon) is in question. The #SAVEGIJOE campaign was activated to show Hasbro that the demand for G.I. Joe and a yearly convention celebrating G.I. Joe is still alive and in high demand. Fans and their families have travelled from around the world to annually celebrate their love of G.I. Joe and have developed friends and extended families and many great memories to coninside these bonds. We ask that you, the fans of G.I. Joe, to take a moment and follow the suggested steps we have laid out to reinforce to Hasbro, Inc. that our passion is alive and well.
The #SAVEGIJOE campaign is spearheaded with an ever-growing online petition and the appropriate contacts at Hasbro, Inc. are aware of its existance. Please take the time to click the PETITION tab to and follow the directions listed there.

Write a courteous request to Hasbro, Inc. Nothing will speak the volumes of your passion for G.I. Joe more than a personal letter from you, the fan, to Hasbro. Please write a letter to:
