Hasbro gets Rom the Space Knight trademarks

Troynos · 04-06-2009, 04:30 PM

Since Rom recently came up here on the tank, with Aloysha's mystery custom. Apparently Hasbro has acquired 8 trademarks for Rom.

"Next, a person came to the microphone and pointed out that Hasbro recently filed eight trademarks for Rom the Spaceknight. He wondered if Hasbro had contacted Marvel, and if anyone on the panel had any interest in the character. Members of the panel seemed a bit surprised by this, although Bendis quickly hopped on the question. “I think [Rom] is the Mount Everest of dork porn. If you’re ever reading an Avengers book and the last page is, ‘Crash! Boom!’ and Rom steps up, you’ll know I did it!” Bendis said. “It’s absolutely on my wish list.”

Came out at the Emerald City Comic Con Marvel Panel.

Just an interesting little tidbit.

It's about time. That trademark has been tied up in legal hell for years between the original creator, Parker Bros. and Marvel. Glad to see it all worked out.

Hopefully that opens the door for a ROM Marvel Universe figure.
