I had Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots when I was a kid. It was really a fun toy, and a great way to work out any pent up aggressions you might have toward robots.
For those who don't remember, Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots is a two-player action toy, manufactured by the Marx toy company. It was first released in 1964, and features two robot boxers, Red Rocker and Blue Bomber, mechanically manipulated by the players, and the game is won when one player knocks the head off of the opponent. (And they say video games are violent!)
This classic toy has entertained kids for generations and the two robots were even featured in a great scene in the 1999 animated film Toy Story 2.
I read recently that Mattel Films (yep, that's a thing) is producing a live action Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots movie starring Vin Diesel. ('m not making this up!)
You know, considering the fact these robots can’t really move all that much, I wonder if they'll call it "The Stationary and the Furious".
Well, the nice thing is even if the movie bombs, the Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots will still get two thumbs up. (See what I did there?)
