Product Description

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

"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

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
But my little 5 year old son (he was a late in my life blessing) loves to play with this toy.... especially because he knows that his Daddy played with it when he was a little boy too.
I try to forget that it is not the same quality as I had and just enjoy watching his face as we play each other.
Yes it's cheaper made and yes it's Chinese....but if you don't tell them you're disappointed then they won't know the difference.
So chill out and enjoy playing it with your child!
