As a collector, sometimes you end up with doubles, triplicates, multiples of extra figures you just need to do something with. ROM is the result of having an extra Iron Man Mark II from the Hall of Armor set.

It worked out that it was a great base for ROM as being all metal.

All of it was majority of sculpting and reworking to make the lines sharper. Check out Vortious Customs's oneline store for a Rom set.
