When the movie Real Steel came out, I was one of the people who happened to think it was great. My favorite robot from the movie was Metro. I love his piecemeal design. When I found this figure at my local Target, I bought him and some of the others. I absolutely love this guy, he looks pretty dead-on to the character in the movie. He's very asymmetrical and gangly since he's made of junk parts and even his face is a mish-mash of pieces complete with a low hanging jawline.

My boys went and saw "Real Steel" twice and were addicted with playing with the robots at home. We steadily collected all of them, but were sad with the Metro robot. One of his arms will not rotate, and will fall off when it's turned in a circle. Very difficult to snap it back on, unless it's placed at just the right angle. Frustrating to an 8 year old.
All in all, the robots are super fun to re-enact the robot fights from the movie. Metro just happens to be frustrating.
