No one could anticipate the carnage at this year's International G.I. Joe Convention, which Kansas City was lucky enough to host. Especially at the event's Joe Drop, where 300 12-inch G.I. paratrooper dolls were tossed off the roof of the Hyatt to a ravenous mass of children and man-children below. Grown men knocked over kids, kids knocked over kids, grown men escaped mostly unscathed. The smart ones ran away as soon as they had a doll in hand. Then there was this poor bastard, who couldn't move fast enough to escape an angry mother with a toyless child. We were there to capture it all.
