The Facts:
The Positives:
* I love the square, boxy head with the red eyes peering out. They’re printed on and look like glowing red LEDs. There’s a very nice retro-futuristic feel to Rom, like something out of a 1950s Universal sci-fi film.
* Rom’s rocket pack helps him move through space and is permanently attached to him (though it looks like a separate piece). There are some red “lights” around the rocket pods and a glowing red light paint effect when you view him from below.
* The tops of Rom’s boots also look like a knight’s armor. The thigh swivel is actually hidden at the top of these tall boots. Also, his feet look cybernetic with an unusual shape and design, somewhat similar to the vintage toy.
* The articulation is fantastic. No, Rom isn’t as articulated as someone like Spider-Man, but he has a quality build and a nice range of motion in most places. His head has a balljointed neck base with a hinged neck and balljointed head combo and he has a hinged waist with balljointed mid-torso. It’s chunky, but it moves fairly well. He’s a really fun figure to pose and mess around with and everything is solid with pinless joints.
* Rom’s hands are kind of blobby and non-descript when it comes to his cyborg digits, but that does actually seem to be accurate to the Marvel depiction of the character, so it’s impressive Hasbro’s Legends team didn’t just give him standard hands cast in silver plastic. There are four hands: A pair of grips, a right hand fist, and a open left hand. They swap easily, so no worries about breakage.
* Rom comes with two accessories, both of which are based on items the vintage Parker Brothers toy came packaged with. First up is the translator, a device Rom uses to scan and upload information into his memory and to instantly learn any alien languages. The vintage accessory flashed and made noises. This one is just a laser pistol looking accessory with a translucent red tip. It’s a neat design, though, and fits the rest of Rom’s aesthetic.
* The second accessory is Rom’s neutralizer, a powerful weapon that can send Dire Wraiths into another dimension and deliver a powerful energy blast. This is most likely your go-to gadget for Rom.
* I love the little details on the back. There’s even some wiring sculpted on there.
* A laser blast is included as well. It’s a neat looking piece that mimics the light up action feature of the original Rom figure and it’s just a super cool way to make the figure look more dramatic. Furthermore, it fits over either accessory, so it can be a neutralizer blast or the energy wave of the translator.
* Each figure in this series comes with a mini comic book accessory. It’s not an actual comic book; it’s just a plastic piece with the cover printed on the front (and the Marvel Legend logo on the back). It’s kind of cool and dun for some pictures, but I don’t think most collectors are going to go wild over these. If they’d been around since the beginning of the line or maybe had been included with each Retro Series release, I could see them being more popular. Fun, but not really a substitute for a Build-a-Figure.
Overall, I did like this series of figures. The classic Banshee was a welcome repaint, I picked up Daken since I didn’t have one, and this Adam Warlock was an improvement over the previous figure. I skipped Miles Morales and Ultimate Iron Man, which incidentally are the two easiest figures to find. Rom is without a doubt the star of this series, however, and even without a BAF piece, he’s still a very solid pickup. Lots of unique parts, an excellent design, and some fun accessories to use with him. Being able to swap the laser beam accessory is pretty fun, though it does make more sense on the neutralizer. Rom is an Epic figure and definitely one of the best Marvel Legends of 2025 so far. Usually I stick to mutants and X-Men related characters, but I’m not immune to the charms of just good figures of great characters in general, and this guy absolutely piqued my interest.
This is the first figure of Rom the Spaceknight that I’ve reviewed. For more Marvel Legends Series reviews check out the following:
