I always felt bad for Lock Lips. I mean, first of all, he’s got a big padlock surgically attached to his mouth, and a big plate over his eye, yet he’s still smiling. He doesn’t really look that monstrous. The only other Madball who looks as content as Lock Lips is Skull Face, but it’s noto really a fair comparison, as Skull Face is kind of forced into that pose (by virtue of being a freaking skull). Poor Lock Lips. So sad.

I had a few of these when I was younger… Horn Head and Dust Brain (I think), maybe Oculus Orbus too. God, those were some cool toys- and I can’t explain why, really. I guess because they were disgusting. One question- did any of these have fluid inside of them that made gross noises when you squished them, or was that a knockoff toy? It kicked ass either way

I always wanted Wolf Breath as a kid, because I thought he was a monkey. I remember I somehow ended up having at least five or six Dust Brains, which I would make fight to the death.

I don’t know if I made this comment on x-e or daddymonkey.com, but my roomate and I were watching a program on the discovery channel about birth and she said that new borns were kind of scary and they looked like mad balls. so true. I think when she said that I snorted grape juice out of my nose because I was laughing so hard.

You know, if you just take a quick glance at Lock Lips, his eyepatch looks sort of like a middle finger. So, Francis, don’t feel bad for him. He’s the only one that could conceivably say "Fuck you all for buying me."

I had Freaky Fullback….I just remember trying to use it as a baseball and it never worked out very well. *shrugs* I liked my Dino Riders better anyhow.

I love those balls to this day. I actually just showed my girlfriend the two Madball VHS tapes I own…’Gross Jokes’ and ‘Escape from Orb.’ I love those tapes. My girlfriend won’t talk to me. Freakella is such a FOX…definetly NOT a mophead. (*inside joke)

unfortunately the sticker sheet doesn’t include the baseball head, aka ’screaming meanie’, which is the only madball i have left.
i have oculus orbus too, but my dog tore him up a little bit.
the ones with legs and the pop off heads were pretty fun too.

Growing up my brother had Slobulus.in fact it’s still somwhere in the basement one of the many boxes we have with junk in them.My brother also had one of the squirting mad balls(it squirted out water)remember those?

Always loved the Madballs, though never was able to get any in the original run… or the newest run, so far. Nice stickers, though there’s four missing: Screamin’ Meemie (as was mentioned) and Bash Brain from the original set and Bruise Brother and Splitting Headache from the second set.
As to the Slobulus/Red Guy debate, I think that both of the Squirtdevils look more like Aargh, Bash Brain and Splitting Headache than Slobulus. But that’s just me.
