new want: Neclos fortress, most sculpts, mainly monsters and packaging I don't have

 

 

Hi all, I'm looking for any and all of these, any condition, any colour, and style, please let me know if you have any.

I have rare bootleg madballs, original MA BA series 2 toys, mad scientist sealed time freaks and other great stuff to trade.

Regards, Gabe

I vaguely remember these....They're gorgeous!

[leucotomy]

Do you remember them when they were originally for sale? Thats pretty cool, I think they are US exclusive, Ive not heard of them in the UK, I just wish I knew who was putting them out or a name for them, i'll keep on searching, these are my real grails right now

They dont have a name, they came loose in a box. You could get them in dimestores and places like archie mcphee. Nice pictures.

[leucotomy]

The pictures belong to toyoharada from instagram, I believe he is a board member here, I hope he doesn't mind me using

[Ericnilla]

I remember these too, i had a couple a few years back. not sure where they are now. Both Yellow.

 

Yeah I dont trust that toyoharada guy, he is kind of a dick. I know ED209 and him got into it, and it wasnt pretty.

I was in a random gas station in the boonies yesterday and stumbled across some modern madball KO's that looked very similar to these (though surely not the same ones, assuming these are older). I reached for my phone to take a photo for the sightings thread then remembered it was soaking wet and dead. 

[leucotomy]

Amazing! will you be going back to that gas station? 

[bachamn]

Unfortunately, I don't have any idea where it was located but it was easily 3 hrs away from my home in the country, so I likely won't make it back. I wasn't driving on the return trip, and was still a bit drunk from the day (and didn't have a phone) so my bearings were pretty off at that time

 

To clarify though (since I've received PM's about this) these weren't candy containers. They were the stretchy rubber pellet-filled type of toys you usually see at discount stores (lizards, dinosaurs, etc) that were clearly designed after existing Madballs sculpts. The detailing and duotone colors used just reminded me of these, especially the guy on the far left with the exposed brain (Frankenstein?). Was one that looked very much like that if I recall correctly.

 

They kind of reminded me of some that Frank had posted about on Littleweirdos a while ago but they don't appear to be the same sculpts.

Nevermind, I checked that post again and they weren't nearly that detailed. I must have been thinking of another KO.

Thus the legend of the impossible to ever find gas station bootleg madballs is born!

haha yeah, it really was kind of a perfect storm of circumstances that caused this level of vague reporting

[PlasticSoul]

I think the story will end up way cooler then the toys could have ever been.
