That's pretty cool. I love the steam machine.

So amazing!!! Steam machine could double as an Iron Lung!

[Meule]

Even a steam machine? Friggin cool

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

Oh man...that's great. My Ali doesn't mind hanging out in the Big Jim Karate Studio...

[Earth 2 Chris]

There's a mirror behind the steam machine to prove to Ali that he's "so pretty"!

Cool!

That's the coolest playset I've EVER seen!! I would buy that in a minute!!

Really cool. I'm sorry this was never made!

Though I'm not a boxing fan, I always found Ali very entertaining, even as a little kid. I'm sure this thing would have sold big along w/ the boxing ring.

That's a real beauty of a playset. I can sorta understand why they didn't release it though. With the boxing ring's introduction, they may have thought this wouldn't be as popular. There's not a huge amount of play value unless you're really into steaming, showering and weighing.

Me too, like Mr T it's all about personality and not what they actually do.

[ScottA]

Well, this makes sense, ala Dinah Mite's Heath Spa.

[JDeRouen]

This is very cool. I'd buy it!!

[Wee67]

I wanted this as soon as I read this thread's title!

[EMCE Hammer]

I think the beheaded Ken Norton probably pushed the envelope too much.

Oh, it's a steamer......
