-Madballs (made of foam)
-Super Madballs (inflatable, like real balls... there was a basketball, football, and soccer ball)
-Madballs Action Figures (small 4" articulated figures with rubber Madballs heads that you could shoot... there were also vehicles to go with the figures)
Also, there was a Madballs comic by Star Comics that was awesome!
As a side note, you have to be careful how you store your foam Madballs. I got a few a while back that were in HORRIBLE condition, as the foam had basically rotted away. I think if you keep them in room temperature with very little humidity, they do great.

You are right about the Super Madballs coming out after the foam ones, but there were also Madballs that came out around the same time or maybe even before the foam ones, I may be mistaken though. They were inflatable just like Super Madballs, but they were the same size as the foam ones. I will post a pic so you can see! They are my favorite Madballs!

On a similar note, there was a recent Madballs rip-off line called Freakballs. Although they were Madballs wannabees, they had great sculpts and paintjobs, so they were actually very cool. They might still be at Toys R Us stores, but I'm not sure.

Oh man, that sucks! Oh well, it's hard to know what toys will be worth something one day, or at least the topic of conversation on a M.U.S.C.L.E. message board some day!Damn man, I remember like 5 years ago I found Locklips in the garage and I tossed him to my dogs to play with, they ripped it into pieces...

Yup,Hey- does anyone remember thje madballs action figures that they sold? The gimmick was that their heads (the balls- small and made of hard rubber) could launch off if you pressed a button on their back.
I used to have a couple of those guys actually. I liked the heads because they were rubbery and soft. They were cool!

Your collection is awesome Dr. Frankenstein! It brings back memories. I wish I still had the ones that I got rid of.

There were 9 Madball action figures total. I stil have a few of them - they are in in pretty rough shape. You really have to watch how you store them.
The comic was awesome - finally completed the series a couple years back.
I would do a MadBalls site, but it would pale compared to this one:
