The UK based Transformers and G.I-Joe Collectors event known as Roll Out Roll Call have announced their dates for this years show as the 11th and 12th October.  The announcement, which came in the form of the flyer you can see below, has also announced that Nick Roche will be a special guest and has teased at some sort of Transformers Collectors Club / G.I-Joe Collectors club tie-in for the event. What could it be? Time will tell.

Next month the G.I-Joe / Action Force / Transformers Convention known as Roll Out Roll Call takes place in Southampton and with this year also debuting the sub-convention called Twins of Power which is dedicated to Masters of The Universe the event organiser Dave Tree has announced that, in conjunction with Mattel (who are already providing the shows first licensed exclusive Strobo), the new MOTU Classics Castle Greyskull will be on display for the first time anywhere within the UK!!

Not to be outdone, Mr Tree, via Goodleg Toys, has also revealed the first full look at the shows  second exclusive figure .... Slaughtor!! Slaughtor is made by Goodleg toys and is a homage to all three lines being featured at this years event.  The toy is designed after the 5 1/2 inch He-man (MOTU) figures from the 90s, with a head sculpt based on Sgt Slaughter (G.I-Joe / Action Force / WWF) with a robotic arm (Transformers).  You can view a preview of this figure below 

Ticket booking for Roll Out Roll Call / Twins Of Power is now open!!!
