2008 JoeCon: The Parachute Drop

This year's annual G.I.Joe parachute drop took place this morning at the Embassy Suits hotel here in Frisco Texas where the convention is taking place. Fans gathered all around as other fans dropped Sky B.A.T. parachute figures off the 15th floor of the hotel down to the lobby below. Afterwards kids ran in and tried to pick up as many of the fallen figures as they could. Check out images of the event in our IMAGE GALLERY below and check back later this afternoon for more coverage from the convention, including a look at what Hasbro has in store for the rest of this year and into 2009.
