My little brother had a subscription to Marvel's Rom series when we were kids, so I got to read them, too. Now that I'm old and wrinkly, I find they have a certain nostalgic charm.
Fortunately I didn't, as IDW's version looked pretty bad. I'm still annoyed that Marvel lost the rights to the Dire Wraiths, though. They were great villains to have kicking around the MCU, even without ROM around. I'm just glad Heroclix managed to get a Dire Wraith miniature out (and a Hybrid mini, too) before Marvel lost the rights. The Dire Wraith mini is just OK as is due to a lame pose, but it's ripe for kitbashing.Just don't look into what IDW did with it.. seriously.. don't.. leave it with the original toy and Marvel's comic based on it.
Thanks, and I very much look forward to seeing the new additions to your carnival once you've got them painted! The Eureka Chaos Army line is great, much of it so odd that it makes "Batface the Biter" look tame by comparison. I quite like "Snailhead," for example, and will get around to painting mine someday. I think Darpa did a great job overall and sculpted a lot of instant classics.Hooray for painted weirdos! I only recently discovered how extensive the Eureka line of chaos beasts is, had to pick up a bunch for my carnival of chaos. Loving the bright colours on these beasties.
Fascinating. I'm very curious now about the Dire Wraiths situation.ugh.. it's.. tricky.. They KINDA lost the rights to Dire Wraiths, but also didn't ^_^;
wasn't that much into micronauts (father was) cause it was just.... very much "Throw away all the toy story and ideas" and do something more plain and boring.. The Evil Acroyear Robots, including the transforming Acroyear III are now.. erm.. some old prince in a suit as a hero.. most of the robots and characters like the time traveller type were thrown out, most of the pilotable transforming vehicles which were the predaters (and later some became) transformers, weren't included etc.. I knew enough of Micronauts (having a few of the UK.. erm.. knock-offs or licence? not sure, ones and.. not too sure how the hell we learnt about some information in these early days but oh well.. It was a comic when Bill Manto was doing a better job (he has a ... problem of stealing from others alot and making very stupid mistakes.. still.. despite alot of iffy stuff with the guy, he didn't deserve what is still going on with him
