I imagine Noisy Boy will be even more advanced.Ītom has several features that immediately set him apart from the previous bots. It makes me wonder if part of the reason ThreeA started things off with Ambush and Midas instead of jumping on Atom (by most regards, the star of the film) first was to build up their own experience and tech to tackle him. Each new bot seems to borrow from the last, but also adds a little something new. Atom has some larger bulky panels and cool moving gears on his arms that move a lot like Ambush’s did, but he’s also as articulated, if not more so, than Midas. It’s interesting to see how ThreeA has been honing their technique in producing these RS bots.

Now with Atom in hand, it’s becoming apparent to me that with each release, they’re raising the ante ever so. ThreeA’s take on these Real Steel bots has been incredibly impressive since day one. He’s not particularly flashy or pretty, but he’s the hero with a heart and has that sort of Eve from Wall-E glowing eyes thing that warms you up to him. He was my favorite from the film (Noisy Boy being a close second). Since first having the opportunity to play around with Ambush, I’ve been anticipating how Atom would turn out. For his body you’ll need three AAA batteries. For the head, you’ll need two very tiny batteries. He’s packing more lights than either Ambush or Midas. Of course, you’ll need batteries if you want to partake in all the fancy light antics Atom is laced with. Unlike the other RS figs, since I don’t have the original box to keep it in, I guess this one will stay on the shelf next to Atom, at least until a Hugh Jackman figure comes along that can hold it. If you get the bambaland version, ( which goes on sale today over here 9am HK time) then you’ll also get the exclusive remote control for him. So Atom arrived in a basic brown shipping box adorned with arrows pointing “this way up” and a bunch of handwriting in a language I can’t read but can only assume says, “Warning: big-ass robot inside.”Īs with the other Real Steel figures, Atom comes basically accessory free. OK! With all that noise out out of the way, on to the pics and stuff about Atom! I’m excited, are you?Īs this was a product sample, the artwork for Atom’s box has not been completed yet.
ATOM REAL STEEL FREE
We can’t promise that our opinion on things will be the same as yours, but we can promise that our opinion will always be honest and our own and in no way colored by obtaining free stuff. but if something is not to our liking/standard etc, you’ll be the first to know! It’s just not worth it! Of course, we’re fans of these things first and foremost and we have respect for the individuals that have the wherewithal to put these things together, otherwise we wouldn’t be doing this. This site, however, is something we’ve painstakingly spent the last couple of years building up and we’re not going to throw away our cred (street or otherwise) just on the passing hope that a toy company will occasionally toss something our way. I absolutely don’t NEED more stuff just for the sake of getting stuff (My wife’s on the brink of disowning me and my stuff as it is). Let me say that, in short, it’s our strict policy here not to hand out positive reviews simply because a company sends us stuff. I do this because we’ve gotten a few emails and such concerned with whether or not our opinions could be biased in a positive vein towards free samples we receive from toy companies. Secondly, let me quickly point you to our disclaimer page. So keep in mind, some things may change between now and then. I want to make sure everyone understands a couple things before we jump in.įirst, this is a production sample! What that means is that, while it should give us all a pretty good idea as to what we can expect when Atom shows up on doorsteps later in the year, ThreeA is still busy tightening bolts, refining the paint, tweaking the joints and all around making him a bunch better before committing to full-on production.
