JoeFest 2023 | Augusta | June 2023

JoeFest 2023 was a great experience. I got a chance to meet a lot of amazing people, not just onscreen Content Creators but also people like me that are usually just screennames in the Live Stream chats. I also got to see what several independent toy makers are doing and what products they are creating. The people I met and the independent creators are the main focus of this video.
If you are someone that I meet at JoeFest 2023 and are not in this video but wanted to be, I'm sorry, that's my fault and feel free to chastise me in the comments below. But also, if we are both at JoeFest 2024, then hold me to task to get video footage of you to include in the video for that year.
Thank you to the community for making me feel welcomed and comfortable coming out of my introvert shell... you are what made JoeFest awesome for me this year.

Thanks for the video sir!!! Cool to see all these figures and ofc the creators too!!! Hopefully one day I get the chance to visit one of these events!

[@betaraybob]

If you get a chance to attend any of these events, I would recommend JoeFest as the event. It's not the biggest but I think it is the right size to see several independent creators and vendors. Also the area it is currently held in is great with several nearby restaurants that are within walking distance of the convention center.

4:07 C.O.P.S!!!!! i loved the shows, still have the toys.

[@betaraybob]

C.O.P.S. is going to be made by Chicken Fried Toys in 1:18th scale. I'm looking forward to those. Even though I didn't watch the show I remember seeing the figures on the shelves and thinking they would be great to mix with G.I.Joe

[@Scotty-Z70]

@@betaraybob i loved the toys. i do wish they were 1:18 scale because...space.

[@a_world_made_of_cardboard]

This was my first Joefest. I hope to have more. Will just have to see. I don't know if I even saw you there.

[@betaraybob]

Sorry I didn't get to meet and talk to you there. Hopefully we'll get a chance to correct that at a future JoeFest.

[@Scotty-Z70]

3:45 are those cowboy figures 1:18th scale or 6" figures? i love cowboy toys. i still have the horse from a set i had back in the 70s that went with a 1:18th scale wagon ..i forget what it was from, but it was basically a walmart on wheels, selling from town to town, mostly pots and pans.

[@betaraybob]

Those Cowboys from Chicken Fried Toys are 1:18th scale and great quality figures.

[@AlexSmith-kg7du]

Did it say when the marauder nam figures will be releasing?

[@betaraybob]

I didn't hear anything about when the 'Nam figures were coming out.

[@bjornjorgensen2220]

It was so nice meeting you and all the others. Hope to see you there next year

[@betaraybob]

The current plan is to be there next year. Hope to see you there
