The Hugh Jackman-starring movie adaptation of what looks like Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots, Real Steel, comes with its own line of tie-in robot action figures. And as I can personally confirm having seen them yesterday, they're are on-shelves now.
Need further proof? Then here's The ToyArk covering the same story.
Whilst the movie itself doesn't do anything for me, I have to say that some of the smaller-scale (and less gimmicky-looking) figures actually looked pretty cool. Not quite cool enough to make me buy one (yet) but if you're a fan of robot figures you may find something here to like.
Real Steel hits cinemas next month.
Yup i blogged and took a photo of these last week or so. To be honest i was really unimpressed with them and if the movie doesn't do well i think we are looking at "red tagged" ped warmers in the near future.
ReplyDeleteSorry J, had I seen your update I'd have included a link!
ReplyDeleteI thought some of the smaller-scale ones looked pretty cool (but I like robot toys) but the two-headed one and the cowboy-themed one just left me cold.
No problem and i like robots too but i just was thrilled with these for what ever reason but who knows they may be well.
ReplyDeleteIt seems except for ''steady sellers'' like GI Joe and Transformers, most toys wind-up red-tagged!
