I'll definitely keep an eye out for it :D @ Boogie bot - I don't ever remember seeing Freak Balls. I'll have to check 'em out. @ jroyale - Thanks for the kind words, and the creepy bods toy looks kinda weird. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for it :D

They are really nice. Gross, ugly, hilarious nice. I'm looking forward to the 2nd series. I sold my original ones on eBay years ago, and later regretted it. But now I can own them again. Does anyone remember freakballs? They came out about 10 years ago or so. I still have some of those. They're not as cool as Madballs, but they're still pretty good knockoffs. Nice detail and paint jobs. They only made one series of them as far as I know before they vanished. Oh well. Memories...!

He's a headless rubber body on which you were to place a regular foam Madball. I have searched everywhere and the only reference is on the Japanese page you have mentioned before- nuttynuts or technodrome. I can't find any info on the company that made them. If anybody has any info let me know. never saw one up for auction before. By the way, great website, and I look forward to more!

And I had forgotten all about the Garbage Pail Kids. If I were to give my son a Screamin' Meemie ball today, he'd roll his eyes... and my wife would beat the crap out of me. Kids today...

My little brother and I used to play whiffleball in our backyard with one of 'em...trying to come up with crazy, curvy pitches that took advantage of the uneven surfaces.

They actually created the originals through a subsidary company, AmToy. It's good to see what they can do when they don't have to be so sweet and lovey-dovey. Yep.
