Sorry guys. I guess I'm too old to know Karate Fighters. Rockem Sockem is the only comparison that I knew.

Same here. This is old news. Both my TRU and Target stores (several of them) had these on the 2nd. I almost picked up a set but didn't quite yet.

I always thought these were a great idea.

Then you should have reported it. :wink:

For many people, these are the first images that we have seen of them.

I never thought of reporting it, since I had seen it online before then, but not in it's own thread. Still, its nice to see that everyone has a chance to be in the know.
