I remember thinking Rom was really cool. Currently reading the Rom comic and his noble quest, it's a fun read.

Toy or comic book character, just the idea of the Space Knight was always intriguing to me.

I only saw this one time in a local TG&Y store (does anyone remember that chain?)and I wanted it.. BAD. But it was too far from a birthday/Christmas/Easter... so no dice, chump!

I still want a ROM figure. GRRRRR!!!

A cousin of mine had this when it first came out. I remember we couldn't get enough of playing with it!

And the comic wasn't bad, either!

And Rom vs. Aliens? Someone, pleeease make it happen!

I loved ROM! Strangely enough, he's pictured next to the Alien in that ad, and that's the figure he battled the most at my house! Those were some epic fights, but ROM emerged triumphant every time. 🙂

Great card! I've always wondered what happened to the ROM "mascot" costume?

Hasbro has registered trademarks/copyrights for ROM movies, toys, games, books etc.

It could well be that they've done this just to make sure they maintain control, but it is to be hoped that we may well see, at the very least, the comic books republished in TPB.

Loved this comic, but i remember disliking the other spaceknights . . . i'm remembering his girlfriend had a diamond-shaped head with a tuft of hair(?) on top. Looked ridiculous!

As for the toy, i only ever saw it advertised in the Marvel comics. And they advertised it A LOT.

I wanted a ROM as a kid, until someone brought one to my babysitters to play with. I wasn't real enamored with it after that. Also because it wasn't Star Wars merchandise, or size compatible with them, I didn't want one anymore.
