At the risk of liking these a lot I will pop into my local Tesco and check these bad boys out when I next get the chance

[TwoHeadedBoy]

is there any links to purchase these? and what is tesco's?

Tesco's is the most despicable chain of supermarkets the world has ever seen. Their ultimate aim is to have one store every mile in the UK, and as soon as one opens up it spells doom for the surrounding local businesses. £1 out of every £10 spent in the UK is spent in Tesco.

I've lost one job over them, my current place had to have a £19,000 overhaul when the nearest Tesco opened RIGHT OVER THE ROAD, and they claim to support the Alzheimer's charity, yet the way they treated my nan would say otherwise about that.

The place could be stocked with Bad Eggz Bunch vending machines for all I care - I still wouldn't step foot in that place.

Oh, and they also spy on their customers: http://www.boycotttesco.com/

Sorry for the ranting there, but it had to be said!

[bizrebellion]

Well, the ONLY reason i shop there is to get the clubcard points for money off my shopping

1 of my local stores (the closest to me) dont have the Madballs but there's still 3 more local,,,ish that i aint checked yet, if they have them then i'll see what i can do for you fellow US collectors.




No promises though But i'll try.

[Gasmasktrooper]

I've got a few of these from a Tesco vending machine. But i hit the jackpot when i was in Leeds for a music festival. Seems the local poundworld there had the foil pack versions of these. They are considerably larger with better detail and paint apps. They have a little book with them which is all in italian. You get all the same types as the water squirters . Ill try and post some pics of them soon. Oh yeah and they were 2 for 1 pound so i bought about 20 of them lol.

[Gasmasktrooper]

Strontium Dog's original pictures of these are interesting to say the least. The images of the foil pack madballs are the bigger versions. You can make it out because they all have different molded eyes. The eyes aren't flush with the mold. The individual pictures are the smaller squirters. Take a look at Creep Frog in both pictures, you can see his eyes are different.

[Gasmasktrooper]

Heres some pictures of the larger MadBalls! They arent the best pictures but you get the point. I have Eye Sore, Scum Chum, Flea Bag, Deck Head, Spit Bull, Spews Ooze, Brain Rot and Fang Thang in this size. If you want a more in-depth look at them just ask and ill get some better pics out.

That's really interesting. I too went to Poundworld a few weeks ago and got 9 of the 10 from foilbags, along with a few doubles. I think each store only got one box though as they came and went so quickly.

I don't have any balls from the Tesco vending machines, but suspected they were different as the Italian foilbag ones clearly had no water squirter action.

[bizrebellion]

Man thats sweet, burty told me about seeing these and i assumed they were the same as the water squirters.

As i have a full set of water squirters i thought nothing of it, i think i'll have to keep checking poundworld for them. Fingers crossed, i aint too late.

[ironmask]

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but "Poundworld" sounds like a porno.

Nah its not near enough creative for a porn film name.

[PlasticSoul]

I have the angler fish one and it's great. Awesome material and very detailed sculpt. Squirt water pretty far too.


If anyone is collecting these in any decent numbers and wants to sell just the round eggs they come in let me know. I've never seen an egg in the states THAT exact shape and quality before. I want some.

[Acidonia]

I went into the Leeds Poundworld and they have 3 boxes of these one opened two unopened I bought one of the unopened ones.



Got Exactly two of each madball altogether are all the boxes like this for the larger ones?

[Strontium Dog]

I should imagine they will be, yes.

Surprised you didn't buy them all, I'm sure you'd have no shortage of takers

[McSoundwave]

Have these been spotted in any other "everything for a pound" stores? Cool find!
