Surprisingly durable with limited playability Aug 24, 2010
By Jerry Jackson Jr.
I just spent a full day helping my four-year-old daughter and one-year-old son play with the Iron Man Walking RC Robot. My daughter loves robots so I wanted to give this toy a try since it has a kid-friendly remote control and the manufacturer claims this toy is suitable for children 4 and older.
First, this Iron Man toy is a very well built amalgam of plastic and rubber. The main body elements (head, torso, arms and legs) are all made of tick plastic while joints and smaller details (such as fingers) are made of hard rubber that flexes under pressure rather than breaking. The fact that the fingers flex and don't break is one of the reasons I'm willing to let my one-year-old son play with this as well.
The only choking hazards on this toy are the four missiles and "possibly" the two shoulder missile launchers. Luckily, you can remove all of those so that there are no potential choking hazards for little kids. Since the shoulder missile launchers can be removed they also fall off the robot if the robot repeatedly falls on a hard surface. The launchers are designed to come off rather than break off which shows the designers were thinking about how kids play rough when they designed this toy.
The IR remote control is a simple two-button controller that has a small nylon strap so that a child can wear it on his or her wrist like a giant watch. The remote is very durable with no tiny pieces to break off and a Philips head screw holding the battery door in place. Since it's an IR remote it has to be in the line of sight with the robot in order to control it (which is a nice way to avoid accidental remote activation).
I really couldn't be more impressed with the durability of this toy. However, playability is another matter.
First, this Iron Man robot is very particular about how its legs are positioned in order to allow it to walk. If the legs aren't in the perfect position the toy will fall over rather than walk. Also, the toy really only walks effectively on hard surfaces like tile or hard wood floors (though that's a common problem for walking robot toys). Another walking related issue is that our robot always tends to walk slightly to the left ... so it walks in a giant circle rather than a straight line. This means my daughter can't make this robot walk down the hall without stopping every two feet to change the direction of the robot. There are only two remote functions that you have with this robot:
1) Walk forward (and slightly to the left)
2) Fire missiles (shoulder and arm missiles)
Since you don't have a reverse, right, or left directional control it makes playing with this toy boring after a few minutes.
The voice in this talking Iron Man robot doesn't sound like Robert Downey Jr. from the Iron Man movies even though this is obviously supposed to be Iron Man from Iron Man 2. That doesn't bother me as much as the fact that it only has four phrases that it repeats in an endless loop.
In short, I really want to praise the durability and design of this toy but it lacks fundamental playability features that kids and adults expect in a remote control toy. Directional controls to make the robot go in reverse and turn left or right would have made this toy MUCH more fun.

 My 3-year old LOVES this toy... and continues to love it! Nov 24, 2010
By Frank E. Trinkle
I have given this toy a couple of months to mature with my son before writing a review. I do this because so many toys are fun for a couple of days, and then end up in the toybox unused forevermore.
This Iron Man Walking RC Toy is an exception to the rule! My three year old son has been playing with it for two months, and shows no letup. He figured out the RC controls within hours, and now spends a lot of time walking it, shooting it's "missiles" and fighting it with his "Buzz Lightyear" toy as well. (And boy... do they ever have some galactic battles!!)
One of the most impressive features about the toy is that most of the parts are snap attached, which means if your child pulls off some parts, they can be snapped back on and remain functional.
This toy is loads of fun for my son... and his Dad! Not all that educational, except for the RC learning curve, but a well-made, and attention-keeper for my child.
Five stars without hesitation!

decent enough, but lacking... Nov 22, 2010
By M. Lohrke
I got this for my five year old nephew, hoping it would be a fun toy for him. For the most part it is. I mean, hey, it's Iron Man. What's not to love?
It appears to be built solidly enough and it's got a nice heft to it. It looks great, too. The wrist rockets were nice and shot well, but were easily lost [not the toy's fault, by any means]. I know my nephew had a great time playing with it with his friends -- as just a big action figure If you're looking for a big Iron Man, this is it.
The RC function, however, if problematic. My brother-in-law said Iron Man had a hard time standing up straight and would usually fall over after a couple of steps.
It's all good in theory, but for $50, you'd hope it'd work a bit better than it did.

 The "walking" part is a joke Jan 08, 2011
By cheveoppolis
I bought this for my four year old son. You have to have the legs in just the right position for it to walk. It seems to take about two to three steps and then falls over. It seems to be fairly durable though, being that it falls down all the time yet still has not broke. I wouldnt have bought it if his heart wasnt set on it.

Disappointed Jan 04, 2011
By Michelle Zwicker
The toy is fun for a few seconds. The shooting action works great. But it won't walk, regardless of where we try it. So my son just doesn't play with it. When he does, he holds it's head while it walks. That's kind of pointless, don't you think? It was a Christmas gift, and a cool one, I might add, but I feel bad watching him play with a toy that falls over all the time.
