Megalopolis Bringing Back Barnyard Commandos and Madballs Action Figures

Posted on June 15, 2020 at 1:22 pm by Joe Moore under General Toy News

Madballs Figures Teaser

We’ve received a press release from sponsor Megalopolis Toys. They are teaming up with Cloudco Entertainment to breath new life into two classic toy lines; Barnyard Commandos and Madballs Action Figures. Even better, they are bringing in James Groman, creator of the Barnyard Commandos and Madballs. The plan is to create 6″ scale figures. As of right now, we only have teaser images. We’ll be sure to update when images and further details drop. Check out the press release below.

MEGALOPOLIS TOYS TO INTRODUCE MADBALLS™ AND BARNYARD COMMANDOS™ RETRO ACTION FIGURE LINE

LOS ANGELES. June 11, 2020. Megalopolis Toys and Cloudco Entertainment, owner of both Madballs™ and Barnyard Commandos™, have partnered to launch a new line of classic/retro action figures for each of these two iconic brands.

Launched in 1985 as one of the original ‘gross out’ toy brands of the decade, Madballs went on to sell tens of millions of toys, inspire a series of animated specials and launch an extensive consumer products program that included comic books, softlines, video games, collectibles, seasonal and back-to-school products.  Similarly, Barnyard Commandos was launched in the early 1990’s with its own animated series, a nationally advertised toy line and a full slate of licensed consumer product partners.

In this relaunch, Megalopolis Toys is developing 6” sculpts of characters inspired by classic archives Madballs and Barnyard Commandos in partnership with top industry design talent, including master sculptor James Groman. Groman is both the creator of the Barnyard Commandos IP as well a member of the original team that developed and launched Madballs.  Each of the respective toy lines will start accepting pre-orders Summer 2020 and will be sold direct-to-consumer through Megalopolis.toys, the Megalopolis Toys mobile app and select specialty retailers Summer 2021.

“This will be the first wave of our new retro action figure line based on properties from the 80s and 90s, and the launch of our extensive Megalopolis: Premium D.N.A. line. These are properties that have been dear to me for over 30 years, and I am ecstatic to be able to bring them back.” – Ben Westover, Creative Director/Co-founder of Megalopolis Toys

“We are utilizing current technology for sculpting, deco and articulation to modernize these classic properties for old and new fans alike.” – Matt Westover, President/Co-Founder of Megalopolis

“The enthusiasm the Megalopolis team shows for this program is based in real fandom – their own! We’re excited to see our classic brands reimagined through their eyes.” – Robert Prinzo, Head of Global Licensing at Cloudco Entertainment

The deal was brokered by Brand Brilliant Consulting, LLC.

    I'm down for both. Just discovered Barnyard Commandos last week from Eds Retro Geek Out on YouTube. He had a video with them in it. Cool. Is this James Gorman who did King Korpse? Like is it the artist? This will be good.

    They'd better bring in James Groman - that's non negotiable. These could turn out really awesome, though I hope they don't deviate too much from the originals. Hell, I'd buy plain re-releases of the originals!

    WOW! I'm excited by the Madball figures, I had a few, but I'm REALLY excited by Barnyard Commandos! I had tons of them, they had some awesome designs and were a lot of fun. Can't wait to see what this look like!
