Series 2, plus Dust Brain and Oculus Orbus from the original Series 1 and new Madball Blech Beard, a puntastically named ghastly pirate). The rebooted Madballs line was noted for its vastly more detailed sculpts; this was especially noticeable in the redesigned original characters. Sick Series 1 and Sick Series 2 In addition to the standard Madballs Classic Series, there was an entirely new Madballs variant in stores called Madballs Sick Series. Each of the (so far released) two series in this line featured three re-designed Madballs characters from the Classic Series (Bash Brain, Slobulus and Skull Face composed Sick Series 1 and Freaky Fullback, Dust Brain and Blech Beard composed Sick Series 2) which could be squeezed to reveal their insides (for example, Bash Brain had brains that bubbled, Slobulus contained eyeballs that popped out and Skull Face concealed spiders that squirmed out). Classic Series 3 and Classic Series 4 Two more Madballs series, Classic Series 3 and Classic Series 4, were planned but never made (however, see International modern revival below). Madballs by Megalopolis Toys Toy designer James Groman has shared previews for two upcoming Madballs 6″ Scale Action Figures, which will be coming from Megalopolis Toys. The figures were announced in June 2020. These 6″ scale figure will feature weapons and interchangeable parts. They are modeled after the classic "Head Popping" Madballs figures from the late 1980s; however, these do not feature the head popping gimmick, opting for articulation and a more "action figure"-like approach. The images showcase both Horn Head and Splitting Headache and will be part of the Premium DNA toy line. International modern revival In 2009 European territories, including Italy and the U.K., began receiving a series of 10 officially licensed miniature water-squirting Giraprendi Madballs. The Italian Madballs are slightly larger (golf ball-sized) and more rubbery than their U.K. counterparts. In the U.K., they are dispensed sealed in small semi-transparent plastic spheres from vending machines which also distributed Nintendo- and Disney-branded toys. Some of the toys are based on the planned (but never made) Classic Series 3 and Classic Series 4 Madballs, some simply with name changes; others are entirely new creations. They are as follows: Scum Chum: A mutant anglerfish. Brain Rot: A zombie scientist. Creep Frog: A horrid frog with a mouthful of mini-beasts. Flea Bag: A hideous dog/cat hybrid. Spews Ooze: A psychotic dragon impaled with weapons and armor. Deck Head:
