I think the ones being released by Mondo look better. Will have to wait for more info/pics. The animated shorts should be fun.

Of all the things I thought I'd feel nostalgic need for, Madballs was pretty low on that list. Those do look pretty great, though. I'm sold.

Are these more comic/cartoon inspired?

Because they look like something from a cartoon

If my memory serves me correct. the orginal ones looked more mean looking. i think i have a few in my dad's garage from when i was a kid. i need to get a look at them tomorrow. but now my next 2 questions about these

1 - No bodies for the mad balls? the originals had bodies.
2 - what do they mean by more kid friendly? what were the originals ? more adult like ? im not getting that part.

The originals were kids toys, and looked pretty goofy, these are only slightly more stylized. I think they're referring to the Kid Robot and Mondo ones, which are geared toward adult collectors. The Mondo ones do look better, but not by much, and they are probably 3x the price. The originals didn't have bodies, they did make small action figure versions of the characters though who's heads were the different Madballs and could shoot off the body.

Indeed.

I'll be sticking with the upcoming Kidrobot vinyl minis, but I am glad to see Madballs making a comeback, if even for a short while.

As for Madballs having bodies, while that did indeed happen for a short while, it happened near the end of their popularity. It was never a major aspect for them, just a sideline gimmick.

Went to Target today, just to check. No luck here. I'll be picking these up when I see them. I like them as more stylized takes. I'll be picking up the Kidrobot 4" Madballs as well, that way I have a nice mix of new and classic looks.

I think I'm just gonna go the route of Ebay for all of the vinyl minis. Getting doubles and triples of the same character over and over really doesn't sound like a fun time to me.

Did you ask if they had them in the back? I went to Target on Saturday and they weren't out. I asked, and they were nice enough to bring a case out.
