Would love to see a few old B movie monsters like "I Was a Teenage Werewolf" and " I Was a Teenage Frankenstein"...the vampire girl from " Blood of Dracula".

They would look so cool as wobblers!

actually they do
http://lkseitz.blogspot.com/2008/11/on- ... ocess.html

Bing McCoy (created the ROM toy for Parker Brothers - now Hasbro) has a patent on the multi-mode electronic doll that was released (uspto patent # 4,267,551) so I don't know if he is still somehow involved.

There is a new petition asking Hasbro to release the ROM rights to Marvel

I was actually thinking about the McDonalds wobblers today, any more in that line? Really thought they were awesome.

Looking forward to all the amazing stuff Funko is doing. Never in a million years would I have ever thought I'd be chasing down variants in Wal*Mart, Target, Toys R Us, etc. Lots of fun! That reminds me of the old days of Spencers and Record and Tape Traders! FUN FUN FUN!!!

www.Bigbot.com asked Hasbro about ROM in July 2008 and they replied:

Who would play Rick Jones in the movie? Is he not the most well
traveled character in the Marvel Universe? Hasbro actually doesn't own
the rights to ROM Space Knight, but we agree whole heartedly on one thing.
With the resurgence of cosmic storylines in the Marvel Universe, it sure
would be cool to see him again!


SPACEKNIGHTS is owned by Marvel since September 4, 2001
ROM THE SPACEKNIGHT is owned by Hasbro since November 6, 2008

Wow!
