A tip of the hat to Chris Sims at Comics Alliance for this bit of news. It seems that Hasbro has submitted an application for the ROM trademark.
Here's the full legal request for the Trademark:

After that, we'll just have to wait for Disney to buy Hasbro and then ROM can truly return (I guess he was better as a comic book character than he was as a toy).
ReplyDeleteI hope he does come back. I have a complete run of the comic and the doll as well.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see 6 inch or 3 3/4 inch figures in the future.
This isn't the first time Hasbro's done this. In fact, I believe it's because their previous attempt is expiring that they've done it again. You can find my take at http://lkseitz.blogspot.com/2012/11/rom-trademark-update.html
ReplyDeleteHey Lee, thanks for the update. That's a bit disappointing...
