Freaking sold! Talk about memberberries.

As long as the price is reasonable, I am 100% in. Plus these sculpts give me a lot of hope or their Battletoads, Clayfighter and other game lines.

[dukefett]

Sculpts and paint look great. I can only hope the production paint is done as well. Looking forward to whatever else they produce.

Any word on the price or preorders?

[OriginalFire]

These are completely disgusting which is completely awesome. They look great. The nose on the blue character looks gross. I guess they got it right then.

No pricing announced. Madballs in August, Battletoads in October, Earthworm Jim in November, and Clay Fighter in December.

Well, can't really call them Madballs; they're more like Mad... things.

Perhaps, their heads will come off.

I don't think they will? But if they are on ball joints you could take them off regardless.

These 6″ scale figure will feature weapons, and interchangeable parts. They are modeled after the classic “Head Popping” Madballs figures from the late 80’s. However, these don’t feature the head popping gimmick, opting for articulation and a more “action figure” approach.

[Joe Moore]

The designer confirmed the heads don't pop off. You may be able to take them off like a regular action figure (probably just a peg), but it's not a feature.

[Etherial]

Yeahhhh if they're not overly priced for the sake of them being "designer" toys. Mass produced like anything else and not one of those hand made one of a kind toys made by a guy in his apartment in new York. THAT I can see charging a lot for.

[AWCramer]

There wont be any head popping action feature instead we have gone for a MADular approach where you will be able to mix and match parts!

They look amazing, but the heads popping off was the coolest. Swapping body parts is okay I guess. They are very very well done and the detail is awesome. Good work. I guess since you are trying something new with the swapping of body pats, perhaps, there could be some different re-paints/ colour variants. I would love to see Horn Head in a new color scheme of it works and you can create a cool new character.

Just the "BALL"s were cool...
This should work fine

Official Photos and Details for the Madballs Series 1 Action Figures from Megalopolis Toys - The Toyark - News

[Etherial]

At $35.00 each for 6" figures with lots of accessories. That's about what you'd pay for a neca ultimate. I suppose that's fair. Was expecting them to be priced in the 80s.

[Etherial]

I think my mom paid about five bucks for the ones I got back in the day lol

Adjusted for inflation, $5 in 1987 would come out to $12 to $20 today (depending on the inflation calculator you use).

[Etherial]

Someone get working on a time machine. Going to toys'n wheels.

[ludovicotek]

These looks great! And I think the price is actually good for what we’re getting here. The Mondo Madballs were not too much less expensive, and they were just heads. They were gorgeous, but still. These are 6” tall. And they look pretty chunky. Really like the modular aspect. Count me in for all of ‘em.

Hey there, Yes I am working on these. James is designing a few here and there. Obviously all the original character designs are by James but Im "redesigning" them mostly. On this wave James did Splitting Headache and all the accessories. I did the other 3. And when I say design its basically the control art, technically a lot of hands have gone into making this what you see now from 2D to 3D to paint and eventually the factory.

Yes I am on the org as oICEMANo

Megalopolis is making it sound like it’s mostly James. Sorry you’re not getting more of the credit. The work you’re doing on these is outstanding.
