Also Target and some 5belows had these wannabe Madballs things.

I spotted these a few days ago myself. I might go back to pick up more. I hope they're selling well. When this revival first kicked off there was an announcement of even smaller minis set to release in carded multipacks. Despite not having seen said multipacks I hope they get made.
>>11707144
I'm surprised these havent gotten more attention. When they showed up at target there was some initial buzz and then radio silence. Either way I'm into them.

According to the walmart site the new blindbags are up for sale

>>11707356
$1 is a great deal. Hopefully they'll do more again like with their other IPs (ie Care Bears). I think making them cheaper is a good idea to allow for more accessibility but distribution still needs work.

Right now on Amazon you can buy a SINGLE Mad Ball series 1 in the potion bottle for $30 which isn't worth it.

>>11708493
My thoughts exactly. I also think Five Below should make a bigger deal about their exclusive toys. They're effectively the closest thing to a modern day toy store, especially with how lackluster nu-TRU has turned out.

Distro for this revival's been awful from the onset. Anyline that goes direct to walmart usually has a rocky time branching out.

>>11708536
True 5below has a nice handful of exclusive toys and they're like alright quality and their stuff is better than the $1.50+ crap at the dollar tree surprisingly. The fact they still have a $1 section is a miracle.

Fingers crossed MadBalls has improved distribution/visibility. Those DNA design figures are great and like not TOO pricy, but they drag their feet on releases.

I really wanted a Skullface figure. I love my Oculus Orbus though.

>>11708565
Honestly there's alot of bang for your buck at five below, especially around christmastime. You just have to check in routinely to see what's come in. Seems like they're getting overstock figures in again considering the number of Jakks and Spinmasters Sonic and DC toys they're stocking now. As for Dollar Tree, Final Faction's early demise was a massive missed opportunity. It was a step in the right direction otherwise.

If these new Madballs take off my hope is that we get modern versions of the old Madball action figures. Honestly thinking it over now maybe Playmates would do well with the IP. It was supposed to get an animated series by this point, I wonder what happened.

I love these guys, they are very hefty and vibrant and came with awesome and numerous accessories
They were the one line I wanted every single one of before premium DNA fucked people again, wave 2 looked so good but I’m lucky I was smart enough to not pre-order

>>11716370
Really hoping Skullface is in the cards, but not holding my breath.

Yeah sorry dude but it looks long dead, the license appears to be up and they have pulled them from their website,
I really wanted clang fang

>>11716370
I ordered an eyesore sofubi on ebay years ago and got charged tax before it got cancelled and I never got refunded the tax. Still mad about that.

>>11716563
Not eyesore it was oculus orbus. Stupid little bastard

What are the chances of Nacelle picking up the license from DNA?

Not sure exactly how licensing works but if so I hope they will be as good.
Gonna post mine cause I never see them posted here and they are such great figures and the prices seem to be shooting up

Sorry bout the rotate, no idea why it does that

Yeah the hairy ones were so bad i assumed the IP was done for.

Again, I’m sorry about the rotation but I’m sure you guys probably are tech savvy enough to figure out a way to tilt your screen or head.

It’s just that these are such great figures, there’s really great accessories and so much weight to them they feel great in your hand

>>11717196
It's honestly a shame that Premium DNA were scammers. All of their prototypes look gorgeous. I did order one of the bootleg EWJs but mine arrived broken, so I returned it and passed on a replacement.

Im glad you were able to get these anon. I assume the quantity will just get more limited with time. Collector figures like these dont show up often. MOTUC ended nearly a decade ago and those figures are still worth an arm and a leg now!
>>11717200
Even with that movie/animated series in limbo I get the sense the rights holders want to do more with the IP. They got a comic book crossover with GPK last year, and along with the five below balls, there's blind bags out now. Who knows what the game plan is.

>>11717207
Do they scale well with any particular toylines? I'm curious if they can fit in tmnt vehicles.

>>11717225
Nah dude, I can’t imagine, their proportions would make it difficult, still though I’d really recommend snapping a couple, you won’t regret it

>>11717358
Yeah I figured the heads would complicate things

>>11717200
Mad Balls is weird because it just comes back every decade even if it's just for a year.

>>11722511
It's down to their parent company still being around. They keep leasing them out every few years.

>>11707144
i was mindblown by these - i was like "NO FUCKING WAY MADBALLS?!??!?!?!?!?!"
then i saw these are not madballs but still it's amazing we have these.
it's just 2 eur in europe
