New Article: Super Madballs!

I've spoken of Madballs toys before, but never at length about the larger cousins, the Super Madballls. Touchdown Terror, Goal Eater, and Foul Shot helped AmToy corner a new market with the scary-faced franchise: now kids could really play sports with their Madballs toys. Commercial download included, along with a look at some of the other Madballs spinoff items. Woooooo. I'll be back later with a scanned picture of Dr. Catherer's Gremlins 2 trading card. Like the shitty horror-version Pinocchio says in that movie they keep rerunning on HBO: I prooomise.

"Madballs" weren’t very popular with my sisters and I (though we did have a few – we just didn’t collect them as obsessively as many other kids did), but I do remember both the Super MadBalls and the commercial. I thought the football in particular was cool-looking, with that demon mouth and, yes, purple eyebrows. Even my makeup-crazy teenaged sister hasn’t managed that one yet.

Does anyone remember MadBats? They were wiffle bats with the madball faces. I still have one and I’m trying to firgure out its name.

Wes –

HA! I just KNEW I saw the word "bugger" in that article yesterday! I was going to come make a comment on it (something to the effect of "I wonder if they knew what "bugger" meant when they named that toy") but then when I searched the article today, it was GONE. I thought I was going all crazy.

Thank you.

Soooo many memories came back. I had completely forgotten about these guys. I had the red muscle guy with just a big eye for a head. Maaan…I wish I could get my hands on these guys again. I have never seen them since the 80s here in sweden.

I had the Screaming Meanie mask, and I had plans. First, I trotted it out for my grammar school and made myself into something of a mascot for the teams. Then I thought that I could sell the idea of someone wrestling under this mask to Vince McMahon. Needless to say, I was an eight year old with a good business sense. Sadly, it didn’t really work out that way. In retrospect, my idea was never really that good. Oh well. I can’t beleive that Full House is going to be on TV Land. Damn. I’m getting old. Meh. Time for Pop Tarts.

I recall playing with one of the action figures on the toilet as a lad and the head popped off and fell into my leavings. I couldn’t see it, so I flushed the toilet to try to get a better view. I remember when the plumber retreived it from the murky depths a few days later, But I think it was thrown away shortly after.
