Vintage 1960's Marx Toy Commercial

Loved this game as a kid in the 60s. A neighbor had it. Although there was a defect; one robot had a head that would stick and it was near impossible to knock his block off. I wonder if this was a fluke or a widespread manufacturer error.

The sound of the fighter's "block being knocked off" used to startle me...

I remember this Toy but was named " Raving Bonkers" unless I'm totally losing thr plot! Lol

I had this thing as a kid, but I preferred the "U-Fly-It" set. Closest thing to fight or flight sims we could get in the early 70's!

I had one of these, but after a while it was boring and your thumbs got tired.

bad thing about this toy if the head was sprung up too much it wouldn't stay down

I'm going to be 53 next month and I'm STILL pissed my parents never let me have this toy when I was a kid. Loved the company's trademark sign-off: Rock-em Sock-em Robots...by MARX! Great Garloo...by MARX! Communist Manifesto...by MARX!!

@bregman1155 you didnt miss much like many of those games and toys back then they either didnt work like they were advertised or they broke with a month or so of opening the box. Very few of these toys lived up to the sales pitches on TV and in the catalogues.
