A boxing partne that does not hit back!!! In theory this sounds like a great bit of equipment but please read this before buying one and then make your mind up.

This lead me on to seeing why this toy cost him £284... On first impression the slam man looks hysterical, only when you say "Hang on, thats for real", do you take its function seriously...

The slam man comes in 2 parts, the torso and the base, the torso then attaches to the base, once you fill the base with sand, once you ...
