    More like dancers

    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.

    Need new configurations.

    This toy was hard to assemble the ropes , will not stay in the base . Looks like it wasn’t designed properly. The original toy was made better.

    Falls apart when playing

    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

    Old fashioned fun!

    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!

    Rigged for Blue Bomber

    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)

    Returned after opening it

    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

    Would not buy

    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.
