This is the official update thread for Retro Con 2015!
Retro Con is happening Saturday and Sunday, September 12th & 13th at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, Pennsylvania. We are in Hall C, giving us 54,000 square feet of floor space to fill with action figures, video games, art, and much more! We didn't have any GI Joe programming until recently, but we now proudly welcome legendary voice actor Michael Bell to the show this year! Michael of course played Duke in the original Marvel/Sunbow GI Joe series, along with other popular characters such as Major Bludd Scrap-Iron, Xamot, and Blowtorch! He's also well known for voicing characters on G1 Transformers such as Prowl, Sideswipe, Swoop, and Bombshell. Another feature pertinent to Joe fans is a charity auction we'll be hosting at the show. Voice actor Neil Ross (voice of Shipwreck, Dusty, etc.) has kindly donated all of his original dialogue scripts from his days in the business, and we are going to put together a catalogue of them to auction off at the show, with 100% of the proceeds going to charity. Featured scripts are from Voltron, Transformers, and GI Joe. These were all used by Neil back in the day, and most include hand-written notes, script changes, and deleted dialogue. Some also include the original call sheets. To make the scripts even more appealing, we have had many signed by Neil, Michael Bell, Morgan Lofting, Corey Burton, Zack Hoffman, and more. Stay tuned!! Advance tickets and vendor spaces are now available! Weekend tickets are only $22 and vendor spots are only $85! Full info at the links below. More updates to come!

Great addition! Don't forget, you also have Michael McConnohie attending who played Cross-Country.
Now if you could just make my dream guest come true, I would be forever grateful. And that would be Libby Aubrey, a.k.a. Covergirl. https://www.facebook.com/libby.aubrey |

If you’re an 80’s cartoon aficionado, you won’t want to miss Retro Con’s charity auction this year! Voice actor (and Retro Con 2013 guest) Neil Ross has generously donated his remaining scripts from his voice-over work from back in the day. We have sorted through these and put together a catalog of them to be auctioned off at the show! These are genuine dialogue scripts used by Neil in the recording studio while working on such classic shows as Transformers, GI Joe, and Voltron! Some include the call sheets, and many have hand-written notes in the sidebars and even the occasional doodle or other artifact. Many of these scripts also have differences to what made it into the final episodes, such as alternate lines of dialogue, and some instances where lines (and even scenes) were removed altogether from the finished shows! As huge fans of these shows ourselves, these scripts have made for most interesting reading! And to make the scripts even more interesting, we have sent them out to several other voice actors that worked on these series, who have kindly autographed them for us! A special thanks to Neil Ross, Michael Bell, Corey Burton, Sue Blu, Alan Oppenheimer, Gregg Berger, Paul Eiding, Zack Hoffman, Morgan Lofting, John Moschitta, BJ Ward, Jack Angel, and Frank Welker for their assistance on this charity project! The event will be held on Saturday afternoon at the show, and our auctioneer will be none other than America’s favorite fast talker himself: John Moschitta Jr! 100% of proceeds earned will be donated amongst a few different charities. These include Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), Cat Angel Network (a no-kill cat rescue in southeast PA), and other charities that will be selected by our 2015 guests who have participated in this auction project. Below is the auction line-up, which includes scripts along with other related items. We will include a CD with each signed piece, which contains pictures to help authentic many of these signatures. Not every item will have visual proof, however we have ties with all voice actors involved, so virtually all signatures can be verified with a little routine inquiring. We are also willing to help prove authenticity with details on when and where items were signed. *All GI Joe & TF scripts are DIALOGUE ONLY (no scene set-ups or action descriptions)* 1. GI Joe: Revenge of Cobra miniseries scripts- Parts 1, 2, 4, and 5 -Signed by Michael Bell, Gregg Berger, Neil Ross, B.J. Ward, Zack Hoffman, and Morgan Lofting. 2.
