- AWESOME new film entries from all over the country!!

- Meet the legendary Tuskeegee airmen March 20th!!

- New this year "Custom Vehicle Armor Contest"

THIS is NOT "just another toy show". IN 2004, JOE-LANTA was second only to the national convention in Orlando as a 1/6th and Action Figure EVENT on the east coast! Don't miss it in 2005! If you can get to Atlanta the weekend of March 20th, you must come to JOE-LANTA!

JOE-LANTA is the greatest Action Figure Show of its kind in the southeast! There will be over 100 tables of dealers, primarily offering a wide variety of Action Figures (including vintage GI Joe 12", new GI Joe 12", 3 3/4" GIJOE, Sideshow Toy, 21st Century, Dragon, BBI, Cy Girls, superhero figures, Matt Mason and MANY others) and related items. We have a number of Dealers that offer a full spectrum of toy figures... from the least expensive toys to high end collectibles. Is JOE-LANTA only GIJOE? No, all brands are represented, and you should find a little bit of everything!

Second Annual JOE-LANTA Film Festival
Submit YOUR short film produced with action figures as the theme. Film makers need not be present to win! Prizes will be awarded for first, second and third place! Films will be watched during the Saturday Night Pre-Show.

Entry at the door is $6 Adult and $4 for kids (5-16 years) on Sunday
only.

Commanders Packages are $40 and include:
Commanders will attend the Saturday evening event of JOE-related video, seminars and guest speakers all in the JOE-LANTA Theater/auditorium which features theater-style seating with tables for you to peruse your purchases! At the pre-show, there will be dealer's tables featuring cream of the crop items before anyone gets to see them Sunday morning at the main show. This was a big HIT in 2003 and 2004! There were some great deals! Commander's will receive a JOE-LANTA show tee-shirt and also be admitted to the show floor an hour earlier than the general public on Sunday! This will be GREAT fun and also serve as a focal point for collectors to meet and set up room trading for Saturday night. Packages are limited to only 100 attendees. After these seats are filled, no more Commander's Packages will be sold.

This year's show will be in the same GREAT location as 2003 and 2004! JOE-LANTA will again be hosted at the Atlanta Marriott Century Center. Located at 2000 Century Blvd.NE in Atlanta, Georgia, the hotel offers 15 floors with an atrium style lobby. Just step out of your room and you have a spectacular view of the lobby and any of your collecting buddies who might be downstairs looking for some JOE-trading! The hotel was a big hit with the 2004 attendees! JOE-LANTA folks LOVE this hotel!

We will have a huge array of dealer tables for you to browse! The dealers room at the Marriott is WELL LIT and spacious! If you regretted not attending last year, please don't make the same mistake twice! Check out the link on the main page to see comments from attendees of last years show! Don't miss out on the fun!
