Toys and Games Reviews of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em ROBOTS Game
Customer Review: It's always broken
Summary: 3 Stars
My son got this toy as a gift last X-mas from his favorite uncle. We thought it was cool that Mattel brought this game back to the market. However, it's nothing like the original as far as durability goes. The robot heads pop up whenever they feel like it, they're always popping off of their platforms and the punching buttons don't push down on a regular basis. All of these problems get pretty frustrating for a 4 year old so, the game has spent most of its life at our house on the shelf in my sons closet. As my son would say, "What a bummer".Customer Review: NOT LIKE THE ONES THEY MADE WHEN I WAS A KID
Summary: 2 Stars
This item is essentially a minature, cheaper quality version of the ones they made in the 70s. There's nothing in the description to let you know its so small, unless the product dimensions are shown. It's about 1/3 the size of the original, and seems to be of cheaper quality. They used to have metal parts inside - now everything's plastic. Right out of the box, one of the robots has an arm that will barely move. None of the arms move great. Its still fun for my 3-year old, but its a real shame they changed it from the original!Customer Review: A classic toy!
Summary: 5 Stars
My parents still have the Rock 'em, Sock'em robots from 30 years ago. They have been stored outside in the elements and are still functioning. My son is 4 years old and loves the robots. I am purchasing an additional toy to compliment the 30 year old version and keep at our home (or maybe give to Grandma and Grandpa). Everyone who plays with this toy seem to accept losing very well. Good sportmanship just seems to accompany it! A "just plain fun" toy. All ages (72 to 2 years old) enjoy trying to knock each others block off!Customer Review: Fun toy, don't take it seriously
Summary: 4 Stars
My four-year-old grandson has had a good time with this; we weren't expecting much, I bought it because we thought the Rockem-sockem robots in Toy Story II were funny, and I knew he'd laugh when he got one. He did, and has enjoyed it.
This works OK, seems reasonably well-built, and has withstood some pretty serious pounding. It's not necessarily a perfect toy, but who would buy one of these for that? It's a silly little game, that's good for some lighthearted fun, and a good copy of a classic game from way back.
Customer Review: not the rock 'em I remembered
Summary: 1 Stars
This is definitely not the rock 'em sock 'em I remeber. They are much smaller - not that big of a deal, but combine that with the poorest quality and it leaves much to be desired. We couldn't even get this to work for one game. I remember the old ones well. We still had our old one around until about 10 years ago - when it finally succumbed after years of teenage torture -Yes, our original was around a long time, but this newer, version gives no bang for the buck. Do not buy this, save yourself a trip to the return counter!
