Anyone remember the Marvel comic book? Well there was also a 13" robot figure produced by Parker Brothers in 1979. He had light up eyes, pulsing chest & backpack lights and could make different sounds including breathing, his jet pack thrusters, and sounds for his energy analyzer, translator and neutralizer. This was one cool toy!  |

they advertised it in Rom issue 1, thought it would be more like the comic version. I saw one at a vancouver toy show at it was kinda of skinny otherwise it was cool.

i always thought it was ironic the toy flopped but the comic tie in was a big success(even had his own listing in "the official guide to the marvel universe deluxe edition"

I've got the toy and most of the comics....he was a very cool character and was underated super hero that could have been used more so and even had a kick ass back story and villians...  |

I've been wanting to pick up a Rom figure for a long time. I wonder if he's got some ram to go with that rom though?

I had one , it had to go when hard times fell on me , it's an awesome toy with cool sounds and gadgets , also on a strange note I was really into the comic and would go around the house saying ROM,,ROM,, I don't know why, but then that morphed into me calling my Mom ...Rom ,, Which morphed into Rommy, and even today I still will say Rommy sometimes,,,,,

I never read the comic years ago, but I plan to one of these days. Oh, you mean the Dire Wraiths  ? Considering how hardcore some of you toy collectors are around here, I figured someone would have mentioned this:  It's from this article. It's definitely one of my favorite unproduced modern (post 1990) toys. Here's a picture of my unpainted (but primed) hardcopy. It weighs at least 5 pounds  !  -Timothy |
