Hey folks, I'm on a bit of a quest for information.

 

I just bought what I believe is a vintage Madballs "Aargh" candy container:

 

[EDIT: nope, it contained slime!]

It's in excellent condition for something approaching 30 years of age, and is made from the same plastic material (PVC, I guess) as the very first discontinued Madballs, but quite a bit smaller. The bottom screws off, and if you squeeze the ball, the mouth opens - presumably so you can dispense candy.

 

Here's a comparison pic with an original vinyl Aargh and a foam Aargh:

I did see that our old pal popculturizm is selling a similar "Skull Face" container on eBay.

However, beyond that, I haven't found much at all.

 

Does anyone know anything about these candy dispensers? Are they, in fact, candy dispensers, or something else entirely? And did they make more characters than Skull Face and Aargh?

 

Cheers!

Fantastic find! This answers pretty much all of my questions :)

 

Have edited the thread title accordingly. And here are some of the auction pics for posterity:

So in addition to Skullface and Aargh, they made Slobulus and Screamin Meemie.
