The folks at JoeCanuck have revealed the first of their five (!!) exclusives for the upcoming Canadian Joe Con, happening May 2nd, 2009.  The first figure shown is Chacal Noir, or the Black Jackal, and he is an Anniversary sculpt featuring a filecard written by G.I. Joe legend Larry Hama.

Click here to check out the full details, and make sure to keep your eyes peeled to CanadianJoeCon.com for all of the upcoming information on the convention itself.  The guest list now includes Hasbro Canada, Mark Bellomo, and David Willis of Shortpacked! fame.  Quite an impressive list of guest stars so far.

In the last issue of the JoeCanuck newsletter, we saw line art for Backstop, and a mysterious, bald black-clad COBRA agent who are slated to be part of the exclusive package available at the upcoming Canadian G.I. Joe Convention.  Well, over at JoeCanuck.com more details have emerged, including the “Dead Eye”, Backstop’s personal tank!

Based off the Armadillo, it uses a nicely custom sticker sheet to separate it from the familiar style and has a very unique storyline that ties it in with the rest of the set.  A “must have” for any fans going over the border for the May 2nd show!  Check out the thread on JoeCanuck here for more details, images are mirrored below.  Also, be sure to visit CanadianJoeCon.com for all of the details on the upcoming convention.
