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.

They came up with an impressive back-story/mythology, considering that this toy came BEFORE the comic book series. They invented that whole back-story just for a toy. Pretty cool!
This toy really looks like crap. So glad I wasn't alive yet for this. Some kids probably couldn't think of shit else in their short existence because their parents couldn't afford to buy them this crappy robot.
I actually have a Rom the Space Knight & Power Man & Iron Fist crossover that is pretty damn bizzare to say the least. Like the comics, it's just a readable ad.
I used to have the Rom action figure too. I also used to read the Marvel comic book based on the character. Oddly, the comic book was much more successful then the action figure was.
