They don’t get close enough to even knock each other out. My daughter received this as a replacement for one dud game and is now severely disappointed in the board game world. My hubs and I were excited to play this too being a childhood game of ours. Womp womp womp.

This is a cute vintage toy! I was excited to get this for son because I played with this toy when I was little, however, the people consistently fall off the handles when we are playing and the rope posts don’t stay in. Even a light touch knocks them down. Overall disappointed

I bought this game for my video game obsessed 7 year old grandson, hoping it would inspire more creative play. At his birthday party he challenged all the other attendees to box with him. We all had a wonderful time watching and playing. The game is plastic, but seems surprisingly sturdy, and withstood hundreds of bouts in one afternoon. This was pure fun how I remember it used to exist- children using their imaginations for entertainment. 100% glad I bought it!

Great nostalgia. As others mentioned poorly made and blue is rigged to win. Returning sadly because of it was well made and equal it would be a real winner (like blue bomber every time)

This is a great toy in concept, once we opened it and set it up we realized how cheaply made it was. It kept falling and just felt cheap, cashier told me lots of return on that specific toy

Kat - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
Thought this would be like the 70’s version, but is a poor imitation with very poor quality. Ropes would not stay in place nor would robots stay secured in ring. Never was able to actually’fight’ with them. A very disappointed birthday boy. Would not buy again.

1) Blue is rigged to win on mine because the head gets locked/jammed in. Red's head pops up with the slightest breeze 2) Ring ropes are too short like everyone else is saying

Got this as a birthday gift for my husband (10/20). The set up was easy enough. After playing with it a few rounds, one of the blue robots arms is just stuck in the extended position. It only has one functional arm. The red robot is perfect. Very disappointed with this. I don't know if I will be able to return it.
