Here are the Madballs Head Popping action figures made by AmToy (part of American Greetings back then) in 1986. This is the full set. Oculus Orbus I have had since childhood (1980s). The Horn Head and Mad Rollercycle set were purchased together at a yard sale for $2.00 in or around the mid-1990s. The rest were purchased from a collector friend and former co-worker in the early 2020s. I keep these in the holding head position rather than keeping them inside of those posts because the mechanism may snap. They look good this way. Very, very cool.
You may notice the styrofoam packing. I always take these pieces out of boxes for computers, shelves, appliances, etc. They work out really well with the different levels and heights and thickness. Really great - you can see the work. The container was from one of those bargain outlets. Perfect size to contain them. The final shot is how I display the toys year round.
The names:
Oculus Orbus / Horn Head / Skull Face / Bruise Brother / Mad Rollercycle
Dust Brain / Slobulus / Screamin’ Meemie / Lock Lips / Wolf Breath
