The Toy Insider will host a freaky fun Twitter party with Madballs, sponsored by Just Play Toys, on Friday, Feb. 10 from 11 a.m.-12 p.m. EST. Join us for an hour full of disgustingly cool fun facts, trivia, and gross surprises using #madballs!

Originally launched in 1986, Madballs are 3-inch foam balls with horrendously fun looks and grossly original names. Designed for kids ages 4 and up, the first series features six characters to collect—all of which are named after the original band of weirdos released in the ’80s—including Dustbrain, Horn Head, Oculus Orbus, Screamin’ Meemie, Skull Face, and Slobulus. Each Madball features a bio on its packaging, and includes a bonus collectible XCAP that lists the character’s likes and dislikes. Madballs are also available in a series of 1.5-inch characters. There are 13 pocket-sized characters to collect in the first series, and each is packaged in a blind bag, giving kids a oozing, noxoius surprise every time. Click here to read more! 

During the party, four lucky winners will win two assorted 3-inch Madballs and two blind bags, and ONE lucky grand prize winner will receive a full set of all six 3-inch Madballs, and a box full of blind bags!

Be sure to follow @madballsx, @justplaytoys, and @thetoyinsider and tweet with #madballs to learn about these outrageously rotten toys that are a blast from the past!

Plus, don’t forget to follow our awesome panelists, @therockfather, @thestephglover, @babysavers, @allmommywants, and @lovepeacemommy!

RSVP NOW!
