The original series would include 8 Madballs and were made up of the following characters: I remember seeing these toys and thinking they were too good to be true. Madballs were released in 1985 and were an immediate hit. The executives had seen the drawings and realized they might have something sellable here. Some of these drawings would go on to be on the original Madballs. They then had an unofficial competition to see who could draw the grossest face on the potato. They then started drawing grotesque faces on sketches of potatoes. You have music playing and the person stuck with the potato when the music stops were out. The group was playing around with ideas and one that came up was the idea of passing around something like you would with hot potato. They were pretty psyched to be able to work on something so unconventional and not run of the mill like the other toys they’d always designed. In-house designers James Elliot, Mark Spangler, Vint Gosner, and Tom Kuebler were the first to work on Madballs.
But what else specifically did boys like?Īnything you can throw, catch or bounce is always going to be popular and if you can mix in something gross then so much the better. This would be a huge hit resulting in a successful cartoon show. Their first introduction specifically to boys was a plush “doll” called My Pet Monster. They wanted to start catering specifically to boys. But if you notice they were primarily based on things girls tended to prefer. These guys were kind of heavyweights when it comes to ‘80s nostalgia. They had many divisions, one being called Those Characters From Clevland, and are ultimately responsible for bringing us things like: American Greetings is actually the world’s largest greeting card company ahead of Hallmark. Madballs came out in 1985 and were the creation of AmToy which was a part of American Greetings. They were pretty much a fad but here’s the story of Madballs. You could throw it and bounce it but they were so unique and your parents hated them.īodily functions will always be funny and It equaled into being a great ‘80s toy. For a young kid in the ‘80s, you couldn’t come up with a much better toy. One of my earliest birthday memories was having a Madballs based birthday and a friend’s younger brother accidentally revealing which one they got me. I also remember them being discouraged from being brought to my public school. I remember my parents hating Madballs, thinking they were disgusting and wondering what the hell the appeal of them was. Madballs would expand into cartoons, video games, and comic books. They were designed with a grotesque appearance and each ball had an on odd name and theme. Madballs were a series of rubber ball toys created by Amtoy in the 1980s. What do you get when you take a Nerf like ball and mix it with a Garbage Pail Kid? You’ve got something that disgusts parents and teachers and that kids of the ‘80s loved.
