Huh. You learn something new every day. I’ve known about the Bronze Bombers for years but didnt know the card art had been copied lol. Niiiice.

You don’t notice these things when your 10-11 yrs old and scanning the toy aisle for new action figures.

i had 1 of these many years ago, hated the helmet, used 2 make him look like i was gagging him, which made the verbal fighting kinda silly. funny i had an eyeball monster power rangers bad guy as well n for some reason they were always on the same team. must have been the white outfits, does ur eyeball guy have a staff/trident just wondering because mine does? tap back xx

Not sure what exactly what it was that made me search for ‘Madballs’ today (honestly!)

But really enjoyed reading this little site you’ve put together! Cheers.

This kind of stuff fascinates me. Not necessarily the line of toys themselves but the copied art on the packaging and the marketing tactics used to sell the toys (white kid in a cowboy hat…just awesome!).

As usual, another great post you’ve done here!

I saw that once I’d written the blog entry. I should’ve included it. Two Cool Breezes. Coincidence? I think… so!
Thanks for the link!

You know, what’s really crazy is that there’s a real Joe named Cool Breeze: http://gijoe.wikia.com/wiki/Cool_Breeze He never had a toy, but you have to wonder if there was any cross-pollination going on. “Cool Breeze” isn’t exactly a name you’d expect to see applied to two different black soldier guys…

Yeah, that’s pretty rough. She wants equality of the races… as long as they aren’t Chinese. Thanks for sharing.

I was thinking the same when I first got him. He looks like a friendly guy in white. Maybe even a medical officer or something. Nope. He’s a killer.
