When a robot lands that blockbuster punch to his opponent's jaw, the victorious robot's head pops up with that Rock 'Em Sock 'Em "gotcha sound." Adult assembly required. Stadium measures 14.5"L x 10"W x 5.5"H.

Editorial Review:

Long before TV shows like Battlebots, there were these guys: two plastic boxers battling it out in a ring, tirelessly jabbing at each other in an effort to knock their opponent's block off. Years go by and these fighters (creatively referred to in my house as "the blue one" and "the red one") are still at it, still operated by two players working simple controllers, and still madly punching in an effort to knock loose the other fellow's spring-loaded head. As was traditionally the case, it takes a while to maneuver the robots such that you can even land any punch, let alone a knockout blow. But for intense silly robot fighting, without the hassle of batteries, these guys are still champs. --John Moe

Utter Trash
I've never played with the original set, so I have no basis for comparison, but the 2 sets I have bought (the first as a gift for someone else) are utter trash. The robots are difficult to manipulate, and even if you have one person hold one robot down and the other punch it repeatedly it still takes an absurdly long amount of time for the head to pop up. No play value at all.

SUPER FANTASTIC!!!
I am only 11, so I've obviously never played the original version, but this is GREAT. I expected it to be almost puny, but it's big enough (though the original version was probably better because it's bigger and it made a whiz sound when their block gets knocked off).The only problem is that the blue bombers block gets knocked off a bit easier than the red rocker, but it's not a big deal. Overall it's an absolutely great game (but the original was probably twice as good!!).

not like they use to be
I bought this for my son for Christmas. I remember playing with them as a kid (ahem, a few years ago)and they were alot of fun. These robots are smaller and it is really hard to get the heads to pop up. It does not stay put together very well either.

Disappointed in Retro Toy
I purchased this toy for a family member who had loved it as a child. Christmas morning we put the toy together and one arm would not hit the opponent no matter what we did. The blue robots arms work perfect, and only one of the red robots arms work. So the toy is useless as who ever takes the red robot is sure to lose. I wouldn't suggest buying this unless you're willing to gamble on it not working right.
