Vintage Action Force, GI Joe & Transformers at Roll Out Roll Call Toy Fair - Nov 2023

This is the first time I've attended Roll Out Roll Call in the south of the UK. A fair dedicated to GI Joe, Action Force and Transformers.
Although small, it packs a punch!!
Let's see who we can meet and what we can find.

Hi, I'm VTR Dave. A Brit on a mission to curate a high-quality and diverse collection of vintage toys, known as the VT aRchive.
A homage to the iconic toys of the 70s & 80s to be shared with as many enthusiasts as possible, right here on this channel. And who knows, perhaps in the future, on display in a public space like a museum. Now, wouldn't that be something!
Subscribe to stay updated as I search for vintage toys, lovingly restore them, delve into their history, and piece by piece, construct the VT aRchive.
As always, thanks goes out to everyone who supports the channel. Every view, like & comment is appreciated.
Stay safe & cheers!

Looks like a smart little fair that one dude, great coverage, love that guys action force customs, absolute fire and very crisp work. Also that kraken illustration was the bomb. Much respect always yo!

[@VintageToyRush]

Cheers Theo!! Great little fair! Might be worth contacting Matt from The Kraken Wakes (instagram.com/the_kraken_wakes/). I was speaking to him about his 3d printing. His stuff is amazing quality. Would be awesome to see some kind of collaboration between the two of you! 👍 Love that Kraken illustration!!

[@AllTheCoolStuff]

Thank you, if you liked our custom figure sets, we do similar with Star Wars too, which have gone down really well :)

[@thedragonreborn9835]

Excellent video. I wish I had of been able to go. Thank's for sharing.

[@VintageToyRush]

Thanks Karol! 👍 This was my first visit and was pleasantly surprised. Didn't pick up any figures or vehicles but still plenty to see, meet and watch 😎

[@Chasing80sToys]

Looks like good hunting grounds. Always cool seeing some of the country side... how I miss the UK mate.

[@VintageToyRush]

Chris, I'm looking forward to your visit to the UK! The country side featured is the New Forest, a lovely area definitely worth visiting 👍

[@UsualmikeTelevision]

What a great toy fair. With all those G.I Joe and Action Force I would of been in my element! Great Video Dave!!!

[@VintageToyRush]

Yeah Mike, this show is right up your street!! I'm sure a few would have gone home with you, and lots of other collectors to chat with 👍

[@dezt5108]

Great video Dave. Shame it's a little bit too far from me, as the Star Wars event looks awesome. Dave Tree is a top chap and deserves a clap on the back 👏👏

[@VintageToyRush]

Yeah, he certainly does. I can imagine it takes much effort to put something on like this. Although relatively small, it packs a punch and I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere 👍 I can only imagine the Star Wars event is very similar.

[@AllTheCoolStuff]

awwwwww yooooooooou :P

[@ReynoldsReviews]

You are getting about Dave!!! Lol looked like a great little event! And 11am! That’s an early bird we can all get on board with lol. Fantastic pick ups as always and you are clearly becoming a celebrity in your own right in our community 😃 Thanks for taking us along 👍

[@VintageToyRush]

Ha ha! A little bit of travel recently. It was quite nice to visit the New Forest again, haven't been that way for ages - use to visit Beaulieu for classic car shows. 11am is certainly easier than 8am that's for sure 🤣 and I don't know about celebrity LOL but I do joke with DCB that whenever I'm responding to comments, I am engaging with my fans 🤣🤣🤣 It's a great fair and enjoyed the day!

[@scubapete9500]

A small, but mighty Show!!! Wow!!! So many great people there and bonus…toys!!!!

[@VintageToyRush]

Scuba, you would have loved this show - I'm sure you'd take a few Action Force items home 🤣 and have a good natter with your mate Bob 👍

[@gillster3744]

Wow So much Cool Stuff love those custom Lego Mini Figures. Happy Hunting Dave.

[@VintageToyRush]

Cheers Gillster!! Had a chat with the Lego guy! They were very well made and he pretty much covered every 80s property!!! 👍

[@11wins125]

Great video Dave. Really captures how good our local toy fairs can be and you advertise it well. It may be a small toy fair but does pack a punch. Glad you enjoyed it and should consider the Star Wars farthest from. Thanks for the mention. Jules

[@VintageToyRush]

Hey Jules!! Thanks! 👍 Wasn't sure if I was gonna make a video but am glad to have done so. I'll probably make my mind up about attending Farthest From much closer to the time 🤣

[@realadamberry]

I did RORC last year, it’s ok but very small, I did find a couple of things etc but decided against going this year as was a week after Sandown wasn’t it, I do love the setting, the drive down is amazing, as you drive through the new forest etc, lovely little village too

[@VintageToyRush]

Yeah that drive down is amusing! Spotted pigs, cows, horses, donkeys, foals all sorts playing chicken with the cars!! It's a small fair, but still decent stuff to find - the fact each event is focused on a small number of toy lines helps 👍 Good atmosphere too with the auction and presentations.

[@FullersFigures]

What an awesome toy fair that was Dave. It may have been small but it sure packed in a bit of everything. I would have loved to attended it. Thanks for sharing.

[@VintageToyRush]

Cheers Conor!! 👍 Yeah, was definitely surprised by this fair. It has a great friendly atmosphere!! 🤘

[@universaltoycollector]

Gutted, I missed this one. Hopefully, I will be able to make the next Roll Out event. I will be attending the 9th December.

[@VintageToyRush]

Not sure if I'll be attending the December one - will see closer to the time!! 👍

[@jonbarwell5204]

Never knew about this show but would have loved to have gone and picked up some bits for my Action Force collection. It looked like a great day.

[@VintageToyRush]

Worth checking out if you're nearby! Good selection of Joes & Action Force - more than I would usually see at the main toy fairs 👍

[@liveanadventure429]

Dave, on your way through the new forest was there any point you halted by wandering cows? 😂 when my girlfriend and I went to Weymouth we went to the spacebridge on the way home, loads of cows were just stopping in the road 😂, it was quite funny

[@VintageToyRush]

Ha ha!! I agree it is amusing!! Saw cows, pigs, horses, deer, all sorts just doing their thing whether it be safe or not. Dunno why it's so funny, it's just natural wildlife 🤣

[@5G-LEE_Superfan]

Wonderful, really enjoying your toy hunts and look forward to more. Thank you!👏👏👏👏😊

[@VintageToyRush]

Thanks Lee! 🤘 Glad you like the toy hunts! I'm also gonna be publishing some restorations as well soon!! 👍

[@mjpaul1]

Thought id already commented here but i cant actually see it so apologies if this is duplicated but thanks so much for the support by purchasing the items / showing them off here. Also really great to meet you properly in person.

[@VintageToyRush]

Hey Matt! I didn't see any other comment, no problem 👍 It was great to finally meet you too and am having fun with your customs. Hopefully you'll have some more interest from this video. If you ever produce any more of those Krakens, let me know! 😎 And have you ever seen a Red Shadows frogman custom? I might have to reach for the red paint 🎨

[@SoundwaveNL1977]

Great toy show Dave😊 You guys have a lot of toy shows in the UK. Really cool😊. Gotta love those vintage goodies they had for sale. Awesome

[@VintageToyRush]

Thanks Roy! Ha! We probably do have a toy fairs - must be the British eccentric behaviour 🤣

[@SHABBYGEEK22]

I hoped you bought that ClawDeen! We could have made a pink lion Livestream! 😂😂 Looks like a great little toy fair to visit!

[@VintageToyRush]

Couldn't believe it when I saw ClawDeen hidden there! Had to tell your story to the dealer 🤣 Probably thought I was nuts!!

[@SHABBYGEEK22]

[@toyscavenger]

Really enjoyed that vid. Wanted to go to this event but couldn't make it. Thanks for the filming!

[@VintageToyRush]

Thanks! My first time attending, although small, it has a friendly atmosphere and a surprising amount to dig through 👍

[@toyscavenger]

@VintageToyRush these smaller shows are always great. I find some of my best stuff and best deals at them!

[@jeff72_]

Excellent stuff, thanks for sharing Dave

[@VintageToyRush]

Thanks Jeff!!! 🤘

[@Retrotoyguysi]

Looks like a great toy fair. I like the look of those Action Force custom jobs and the Iron Blood sign is great, I might have to see if I can hunt one down for myself 😊

[@VintageToyRush]

Those custom Action Force items are from Matt (instagram.com/the_kraken_wakes/) - his stuff is really high quality, definitely worth looking at 👍

[@Retrotoyguysi]

@@VintageToyRush thanks for the link, that’s very kind of you, I shall check it out 😊👍

[@AllTheCoolStuff]

Ha amazing, thank you for covering the show :) Glad you dug it :)

[@VintageToyRush]

Thanks!! 🤘 Yeah, had a great day! 👍

[@AllTheCoolStuff]

@@VintageToyRush dates for next Roll Out Roll Call and Farthest From should be up very shortly, it would be great to welcome you back again :)

[@jokerjamie3091]

Thanks Dave, as a new Action Force collector I'll be looking out for this fair next year

[@VintageToyRush]

You're welcome! 👍 Have fun collecting Action Force! It's quite a large toy line which is why I've focused on the Red Shadows / Enemy team. Maybe we'll meet at a future RORC 🤘

[@jokerjamie3091]

It was the Red Shadows that drew me to the line in the first place, and it was great to see the custom items in your video. 👌

[@BlackArroToons]

Cool packaged/boxed art work, and cool lizard character drawing you got made there too. Roboskull, that is one I haven't learned about till now. Thanks. Nice scenery there too. Good tour of the show, thanks!

[@VintageToyRush]

Yeah, GI Joe in particular has some fantastic artwork! The lizard is a character called the Kraken from Palitoy's Action Force. He's part of the Red Shadows (Enemy Team). Love the drawing! Sometimes, you'll see him pop-up in my restoration videos when I say Let's Crack On 🤣 The Roboskull is an iconic Red Shadows vehicle designed by Bob Brechin (Chief Designer at Palitoy), who was also at the fair - that pic in the video is Bob holding the Kraken drawing 👍 The New Forest is a lovely area to visit - a natural country side where animals roam free.

[@BlackArroToons]

@@VintageToyRush Cool to learn about the Kraken character, thanks Dave. I liked seeing the box art for Action Force and GI Joe were very close, being linked lines. Did England ever get the animated series for Action Force? And for the details on Bob and Roboskull. Great drawing! A talented artist/designer and cool you got to meet him. That is good to hear the landscape has the animals free-roaming about. Thanks, Dave, keep up the great collecting, restorations and videos.

[@VintageToyRush]

@@BlackArroToons Now I don't ever remember watching the GI Joe cartoon back in the day here in the UK but there was one. My understanding is that it was renamed to Action Force, had new titles and even the voice over was replaced. So instead of Yo Joe, it was Full Force :) and some of character names were changed. As I said, I have no recollection of ever seeing it on British TV.

[@BlackArroToons]

@@VintageToyRush Cool. Thank you for the info! I'll check it out. Thanks, Dave!

[@Dezimondo]

Awesome video and pickups mate 👍🔥

[@VintageToyRush]

Thanks!!! 🤘 Very much enjoyed the day!

[@rccretro]

Nice video! Looks like a great toy fair!

[@VintageToyRush]

Thanks!! 👍 Yeah, relatively small fair but very friendly atmosphere!! 😎

[@lexistoyloft2641]

Nice video! Looks like a good day out!

[@VintageToyRush]

Thanks! 👍 Relatively small fair, but great atmosphere! Had fun.

[@Phantasia_Workshop]

No General Madine? Lame! 😂

[@VintageToyRush]

Ha ha!! Oh no, what will we do now!!! Actually, thinking about it, I don't think there was any Star Wars. Not surprising though as their next fair named 'Farthest From' is focused purely on SW 👍

[@thelair9392]

I was there. A great day at a great show

[@VintageToyRush]

Nice! This was my first time attending! Very much enjoyed it too 👍

[@NICKSTOYBARN]

Great video Dave.. lots of awesome stuff.. 👍😎👍

[@VintageToyRush]

Thanks Nick! 👍

[@Blackedoutewoks]

Cool 😎 video and pretty interesting 🧐

[@VintageToyRush]

Cheers BOE! 🤘 Some nice carded GI Joe and Action Force there that would definitely be for you 👍
