The latest Marvel Legends release takes collectors back to 1979 with an impressive action figure of Rom, the cosmic defender who captured imaginations in his debut series "Rom: Spaceknight." This 6-inch scale figure perfectly captures the chrome-armored hero as he appeared in his first comic book appearance.
For those unfamiliar with the character, Rom is a noble warrior from the planet Galador who sacrificed his humanity to become a Spaceknight - a cyborg defender sworn to protect the universe from the shapeshifting Dire Wraiths. These sinister beings could take any form, infiltrating worlds before revealing their true, monstrous nature. Rom's quest to hunt them down brought him to Earth, where his saga truly began.
This Marvel Legends figure comes packed with screen-accurate accessories that bring Rom's arsenal to life. His iconic Analyzer helps detect Dire Wraiths hiding in human form, while the powerful Neutralizer weapon banishes the evil creatures to the dark dimension of Limbo. The included blast effects let collectors recreate dynamic action scenes from the comics.
The figure itself showcases the exceptional articulation we've come to expect from the Marvel Legends line. Rom features multiple points of movement in his head, arms, and legs, allowing for dynamic poses that capture the character's robotic yet graceful nature. The sculpting team has done an outstanding job recreating Rom's distinctive armor, from his angular chest plate to his iconic visor.
A particularly nice touch is the inclusion of a miniature replica of Rom: Spaceknight #1's cover. This 6-inch scale comic accessory serves as both a display piece and a reminder of the character's origins. The package also includes interchangeable hands for different posing options.
Whether you're a longtime fan of Rom's original comic run or a Marvel Legends collector looking to add a unique character to your display, this figure delivers. It's a fitting tribute to a character who, despite starting life as a Parker Brothers toy, became one of Marvel's most interesting cosmic heroes through the talented work of writers and artists like Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema.
The Marvel Legends Rom: Spaceknight figure represents another strong addition to Hasbro's celebrated action figure line, bringing a beloved character from Marvel's rich history to three-dimensional life with the attention to detail collectors have come to expect.
