    Rom: Spaceknight gets some love


    Lynch sent me this fantastic image of Rom, it's the same one used for the "Marvel: Live and In Person" flier but it's a better version of it, showing the whole outfit, which I have to say looks really good. Lynch was lucky enough to see Rom twice and makes mention of his voice :

    "At first, ROM’s voice sounded too much like Darth Vader so they had to tweek it. It sounded like a Cylon Centaurion here. I saw ROM at a San Diego Comicon in 1981 and his voice was normal, so maybe Marvel thought they would get sued from George Lucas or Glen A. Larson (Battlestar Galactica) so they did away with it."

    Cool info and photo, thanks Lynch!

      Nice!

      Never had the Rom figure, but I collected the comics for a long while.

            Cool suit, and cute picture, but it's a bit disconcerting when you notice how he's picking that little girl up!

            Little Girl: "I love you ROM!"
            Rom: "You will be assimilated small earthling."

              I'm more amused at Rom's sweaty handler, he looks like he's saying "Rom baby, we don't want any lawsuits, put the kid down"

                      Rom's handler looks a bit like Buck Henry too!

                          What a fantastic costume. The "handler" and the little girl kissing ROM just make the pic that much better, I love it!

                              HEY! Rom was a good guy - no assimilating of little girls unless they were wraiths - or Becky Fadek from 3rd grade, she was definitely a Dire Wraith.
