Entertainment News International LLC (ENI) has teamed up with Beyond Comics, a local comic book chain in the Washington D.C. metro area, to raffle off a very special Transformers Optimus Prime Hybrid Style THS-02 Convoy from Takara in support of the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program. Available until December 18, you can purchase raffle tickets for $1 each at Beyond Comics locations in Gaithersburg, MD and Frederick, MD. The winning ticket will be drawn on December 18. Why is this toy so special? It has been autographed by Peter Cullen, the man who voiced Optimus Prime in the original 80''s Transformers cartoon and in the more recent blockbuster live-action movies.
"Finding a present under the tree Christmas morning is an experience every child should have an opportunity to experience," says Entertainment News International president Jay Cochran. "Superheroes bring hope. We want to be a part of putting hope in the eyes of children in our community." Beyond Comics also will have toy collecting boxes on hand at both locations, so you can drop off an unwrapped new toy for Toys For Tots.
