This year’s Comic-Con featured some of the best reveals for anyone who grew up in the ’80s. Re-releases and updated versions of everything from Thundercats to Devastator were announced, but none were as awesome as Mondo’s new line of Mad Balls.
Designed with creepy faces inspired by mummies, skeletons and other monsters, Mad Balls were really just simple foam balls that appealed to kids who were more into comic books and cartoons than sports. And as detailed as the original versions were, we’ve now got a solid 30 years of manufacturing advancements at our disposal, and the new Mondo Mad Balls look like they’re taking full advantage of it.
As with a vast majority of Comic-Con reveals, there’s no information on when you’ll be able get your hands on the latest breed of Mad Balls, or how much they will set you back. The versions on display at Mondo’s booth were just prototypes, and here’s to hoping they’re returning as more than just a threesome.
