Product Description
A return of a classic! Mattel brings back the classic game from 1996 in which the original battling robots try to knock each other's blocks off! Red Rocker and Blue Bomber battle it out in the arena, with realistic sounds and jaw-jolting action. 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

 Fun for the whole family December 30, 2008
This was a gift for my husband more so than for my 6 year old - I had heard him reminising many times about when he was a kid & played it. But on Christmas morning everyone had a ball with it - my in-laws, husband and daughter were all sitting and playing with it and EVERYONE was having fun with it, laughing as they socked each other - not just my daughter. It was especially fun for my daughter to be able to beat her father as she jabbed away at his robot. I don't know the quality or size of what use to be - I had never played it - but for the price and for what it is - I think it's a pretty good value for the amount of fun.

These were a big hit on Christmas Day with my grandsons and sons in law. They held boxing tournaments. They created a bit of nostalgia for the dads who had played with them as children.

This is a toy I can remember as a child. There's nothing to it. What I love is No batteries!

I got this for my brother-in-law who is currently serving in Iraq. Yes, he is over the age limit on the box, but he said that he and his other troops get bored and they wanted something that reminded them of their childhood. He hasn't gotten it yet, but I am sure we will hear from him when he does.
 Utter Trash June 18, 2008

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.
