Season 1 officially begins with "The Further Adventures of G.I. Joe," the first part of the Pyramid of Darkness. New intro, new faces, and a mystery I did not expect to find with the Fatal Fluffies! There's a real Hasbro controversy tie in to go along with Hasbro wanting to cash in on the Star Wars craze. Cuddly, or controversial? You decide!

My brother and I were on the floor at JoeFest 2026 in Augusta, so here's everything you need to know. We break down the whole show: what we saw, what we thought, who we met, what we walked away with, and a little bit of news we caught about one of the toy lines. Footage throughout so you can see it right along with us.
Cons like this are one of the best parts of this hobby, and getting to cover one with my brother made it even more special. If you were there, tell us what YOU found in the comments, and if you couldn't make it, consider this your full rundown, and encouragement to come in the future!
