Product Description

Product Description

ROCK 'EM SOCK 'EM ROBOTS Game: A classic for over 40 years! It's the game where 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. For 2 players. Ages 6 and older. 68896 STD. PAK 4 UPC CODE: 074299-68896-6

Amazon.com

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

Customers are mixed about the quality of the toy. Some mention it's reasonably well-built, has withstood some pretty serious abuse, and holds up with no parts coming off.

Customers are dissatisfied with the stability of the toy. They mention that the robots keep falling off their platform, and the rope sides fall off too easily.

Customers find the head popping in the game difficult. They mention that the heads keep popping up before they even punch. Some customers also say that the necks pop up without even hitting them.

"...the robots are so tight that no matter how many jabs they take, they won't pop up. We tried everything to loosen them up but nothing seemed to work...." Read more

"even with a direct hit with maximum force, the heads wouldn't pop up, this is definitely more of a shelf item for a 'Whatsit" This is definitely not..." Read more

"...They liked it but, they don't play it. The blue robot's head is easily popped up so he always loses...." Read more

"...Also, it seems to favor one robot over the other, one head pops up even when barely touched and the other is almost impossible to hit." Read more
