Few people realize that the Marvel character ROM: Spaceknight was originally a toy released by Parker Bros. They asked for Marvel to create a story and tie-in comic, which actually out-ran the selling of the toys by several years.

This is the only video ad for the toy (which debuted at the 1979 Toy Fair); by the time of the toy's actual release, the green LED eyes were replaced by red LED's for cost purposes.

This is what the future looks like.

    So awesome. My favorite toy and comic as a kid. Going to have to find one on eBay. Thanks for this blast from the past.

    I suppose...if by "practically", you mean they are both silver in color. Other than that, they're not really that similar.....

    Who didn't want a ROM toy? Especially after reading the great series by Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema! Beware Dire Wraiths!
