Who will be the first to actually remove the Rom mask from the ROM SPECIAL cover? And why does it appear they printed across the spine? Will it have staple holes if you remove it?

I used to post links when custom made Rom action figures appeared on eBay. That seems less necessary to me now since the Marvel Legends figure was released. What do you, my followers, think? Is it something you would still like to see, regardless of whether you have any interest in buying?

Are you sure it was me? Does this look like the face of someone who would own a Rom helmet?
I have! And I have--if you'll pardon my saying-- touched the helmet. @chrisryall.bsky.social currently has it in his Rom collection. 🙂
@peterclines.com Have you ever seen this? It's a costume Marvel and Parker Brothers had made to promote the toy/comic crossover!
