James Kavanaugh Jr - Author
James is a third time Canadian Joe Con attendee and now a first time special guest.  He is traveling from Dayton, OH to promote his new book R.A.H.C. A Guide to Second Generation O-Ring G.I. Joe Action Figures.  He will be hanging out, signing autographs, and most likely indulging the Canucklehead side of life!

What's On Joe Mind Podcast
The WOJM Podcast will once again be on location at the Canadian G.I. Joe Convention recording a special edition of the WOJM podcast. Stop by and say hello, talk some "Joe" - who knows, maybe the guys will pull you online to discuss some of your favourite things about the Canadian G.I. Joe Convention and G.I. Joe in general!

Heroes Force
Heroes Force is a line of action figures produced by promotional products specialty company Think Drink Inc. The initial product offering (First Edition) represented the three branches of the Canadian Military: The army (represented by the figure Sperry); the AirForce (represented by the figure Thibodeau) and the navy (represented by the figure Watson). Each member of armed forces is decorated with the Canadian flag on their uniform and is approximately four inches tall and realistic in all aspects of uniform and gear. The figure is a tribute to the Canadian military, and $1.00 from each figure sold is being donated to the “Soldier On” fund. Initially the product was done as a tribute, but success in its popularity has developed into a series of new figures with military accessories. For a full description of the products unique history and story, visit www.heroesforce.com


We're holding out faith for one more.....

Overall a solid lineup of guests. Fingers are crossed for a Marvel era artist.

I'm hoping for a voice actor. Aside from Larry Hama voice actors are my favorite to meet. Meeting Zack Hoffman was one of the coolest moments for me as far as being a Joe fan.

Ya know, as much as I'm a bit of a comic snob and was never a big fan of the cartoon, even as a kid, I still appreciate it. And I have a huge appreciation for voice acting. I think it is an under-appreciated skill/art. It's nice to see the actors getting their due these days at cons and on podcasts and the like. They're usually really interesting as guests.

I'm definitely part of the voice actor fanbase too. I'd even take an obscure tertiary character like Sparks or Colonel Sharp.

If only I could  meet fantastic voice actors like Burgess Meredith or shake the hand of Chris Lata, my days as a Joe fan would be complete.

Great Line Up!  I hope they brought enough action figures as I'm sure they will sell fast!

I Don't think they would come to my service if I did that. I'm not a celebrity.

Edit: Back on topic, will Bellmore be there so that I could ask him if he still has copies of his first edition guide?
