The G.I. Joe Collector’s Club sent out an email revealing a new limited edition, 2010 GIJCC Convention exclusive souvenir figure today:
FLINT with parachute pack
This “Para-Drop” Flint appears to be a tribute to the vintage 12″ Adventure Team Pilot figure.
The email from Master Collector had this to say about the figure:
This year, Hasbro is sponsoring a private parachute drop for school kids to help promote the convention locally.Since Hasbro knew that the venue was not accessible to attendees, they wanted to make sure you were a part of this great event by giving you one of the limited edition Flint figures that will be used at the drop.
These will be handed out to everyone with a convention badge who attends either of the two presentations given by Alan Hassenfeld on Friday morning.
Stay tuned for more reveals to come!

That's going to be an expensive figure.
Only 1 per person and you have to attend a panel.
