Of all the recent Madballs releases, the 4″ scale foam Madballs by Kidrobot were my most anticipated. This assortment of classically styled Madballs are similar sculpts to our previously reviewed Blind Box Madballs Mini-Figures and the Madballs Keychains. Standing about 4″ tall each, these are made of a very dense foam and feature highly detailed sculpts at a collector friendly price. Included in the assortment are:

  • Screamin’ Meemie
  • Skull Face
  • Slobulous
  • Horn Head
  • Oculus Orbus
  • Dust Brain

Toyark sponsor Entertainment Earth provided us with the first assortment and we have over 35 photos of the new 4″ foam assortment. Check out the photos and my review of the new Madballs after the jump.

This year, fans of the classic Madballs toy line will have numerous options to grow their collection. There are at least three different companies releasing updates to the classic 80’s toy line. These include Mondo, Kidrobot and Just Play. While both Kidrobot and Mondo are gearing their releases toward collectors, the new line from Just Play is setting their sites on kids as well as collectors. Of the three, Just Play’s designs deviate the farthest from the original series. Their Madballs feature more stylized, cartoon-ish takes on the classic characters, and will be supported by a series of online cartoons coming this year. The Just Play versions are also making their way to standard retail spaces, with Target stores being your best bet to find these. Fans looking to just dip their toes in the line can also opt for the much smaller blind bag assortment from Just Play.

Today, we’re looking a the first four Madballs released by Just Play. This includes Dust Brain, Skull Face, Oculus Orbus and Screamin’ Meemie. We have over 40 high resolution images as well as some thoughts on the new series. Check them out by reading on.
