Little disappointed here. I had been looking forward to attending a JoeCon, would have been my first. But between having 3 kids and coming off active duty, money and time right now are short. I've read through responses here and appreciate everyone's take. I can't say I'm jazzed about Marauders; I felt it was a gimmick in the o-ring days, still do. Anything that G.I. Joe did that could color coordinate with a My Little Pony was/is a joke.
For the last Con, or at least for FSS, it would be cool if a modern-day take of G.I. Joe was the theme. Where would Joe be today? What would Joe appear like now? It's funny that some of our posters, and especially the custom dudes here, have more imagination or perhaps real-world insight that those who steer the brand. G.I. Joe is the first chapter of a story that saw me through 21 years in the Marine Corps. With the diverse military backgrounds of the original heroes, it would have been fitting to release a modern-day set on them for a finale. YMMV but that would bring the team full circle...perhaps primed for another adventure, too.

It's a cool idea but that's sort of what the custom figure world is all about. Customizers can do some pretty awesome work to turn Joe or Marauder Task Force bucks into modern-day "joes".
