SPECIAL MISSION: CREATE YOUR OWN CHARACTER/VEHICLE 

Step into the creative war room and help bring an all-new G.I. Joe or Cobra concept to life!

Join us for an exclusive, interactive event at the DFW G.I. Joe Show—all for just $100—where fans will collaborate with one of six legendary designers (three figure designers and three vehicle designers) to create original characters and vehicles from scratch.
 

This is your chance to go beyond collecting… and become part of the design process.
 

HOW IT WORKS

Participants will be placed into small collaborative teams, each paired with one of the six designers. Together, you’ll brainstorm and build a concept—whether it’s a new hero, villain, or cutting-edge vehicle.

Prior to the event, you’ll receive a short survey to share your preferences which we’ll use to help form teams. While we’ll do our best to group fans with similar interests, specific assignments are not guaranteed—but every team will have an exciting opportunity to create something unique.
 

Some potential Survey Questions:

• G.I. Joe or Cobra affiliation 

• Figure or vehicle focus 

• Environment themes (Winter, Desert, Jungle, Space) 

• Vehicle types (Air, Land, Sea) 

• Military branches (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines) 

 

TEAMWORK IN ACTION

Each group will function as a mini design team, collaborating to make creative decisions that your assigned designer will translate into a finished concept. This is a shared experience—communication, creativity, and teamwork are key!

Throughout the session, additional designers, brand experts, and marketing professionals will be circulating the room, offering real-time feedback, fresh ideas, and industry insight—just like a true product development environment. You never know who might stop by your table and help shape your concept!
 

TAKE HOME THE CREATION

Once completed, all designs will be:

• Professionally scanned in high resolution
• Produced as 8x10 prints
• Mailed to participants after the show
 

We are also exploring digital coverage of the event, which may be shared exclusively with attendees—so please be comfortable being on camera.
 

EVENT EXPECTATIONS

To ensure a great experience for everyone:

• Be respectful and professional with fellow fans and designers
• Come ready to collaborate, listen, and contribute
• Most importantly—have fun creating!

Whether you're a lifelong fan or a creative newcomer, this is your chance to help shape the next great G.I. Joe idea.

Spots are limited—don’t miss your chance to be part of the mission for only $100.
