Sold, sold, sold! Was worried they weren't going to continue. I still hold out hope for 4" versions of the rest of the classic Madballs tho.
I really hope they release the rest of the vintage Madballs too. Especially rare ones like Splitting Headache.
Hehe, these are funny!
i loved Madballs growing up, will be getting these for sure
Holy crap, I am going to be all over these, anyone know if they will be sold via the kidrobot site?
I am not into these but the horror versions are really well done. If these were my thing I would be getting them.
Kidrobot Horror and Sci-Fi Madballs are Best Buy Exclusives - The Toyark - News

These are all fantastic, but Best Buy?? Odd choice. Hope they're easy to find. I kind of need all of them.
Down for the Alien/Pred versions, hope eBay prices aren't too steep.
I picked them up this morning at a local Best Buy in Philly.


I just ordered them. Picking up tomorrow from Best Buy.
... Why doesn't the Alien Madball have the mouth-tongue? Is the pink normal tongue supposed to be jokey?
Thanks for the heads up Joe. All stores looked to be in stock today in LA. Went to the nearest one and after I couldn't find them, I asked and the lady knew "exactly" what I was talking about. She said she wasn't putting them out until afternoon, but went in back and got me 2 of each of the 3 horror icons for a friend and I. Haven't had Madballs since I was a kid in the 80's

Im sold on these as well. superb. madballs are awesome.
Highly doubt my best buy will have these, but imma check this weekend, if not I guess I'll just check the inner webs.
Just opened them all up. I really dig them. My Jason's lip was falling off in one place, so I had to use a little glue, but otherwise, these are fantastic. One thing to note is that they are all pretty firm, except for the face hugger one. That is extremely spongey.
Now I just have to figure out how to display them…I'm thinking pound some nails through the underside of a board and stick them on.
Preview for the upcoming gallery. Probably live Thursday.

My local Best Buy didn't have any nor did they get any according to employees so tomorrow I'll check out another to see if they have them.
