I know right? There's a pretty good Youtube video of the original commercial, then one with a guy who gives a pretty comprehensive review of the toy. Yes, he has one and he puts it through all the paces. Too cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILIaPluH4pc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_M5gokuNow
I watched those. He has ZERO articulation but he LIGHTS UP and that is why I want him. I can't believe they made the toy and got Marvel to do a comic to help sell it and the comic because hugely popular. One of the best things Marvel did in the eighties was commit to ROM.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

Really want that Parker Bros. ROM Space Knight! Teaser.
Who doesn't. It's my holy grail figure. It's a PARKER BROTHERS robot toy with electronic features. PARKER BROTHERS??? They made Monopoly.
