But he sure is looking sweet.
 


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.
