| Post subject: | Bloody Version of the Blue Madball Mantis |
So I just scored this guy on the 'bay over the weekend 
(This is the pic from the auction, i will post more when the figure is in hand) I haven't seen one for sale or trade in quite some time, so I was wondering if anyone had an idea of the actual rarity of these guys. The SB Checklist has it as a 3/5 I am pretty sure I got a ridiculous deal, so I am psyched either way (The more blood splattered figures the better!)

Its quite rare, I think from the ratio it was worked out that there are 33 of them. Madball's don't get much love so its never been crazy prices on them, I scored one for $125. |

Thanks Parka and liquidsky, I agree they are really cool, I have been keeping my eye out for this one since it came out I don't want to brag or anything, but you might have to see the auction to believe it. Needless to say I jumped on it immediately when i saw it |

 That is indeed a score, congrats. Seller didn't realise what he had.

I think these were originally sold blind bagged so you had no idea whether you would get the bloody one or the unbloody one. Insane price. I love bargain prices makes up for when you overspend on something. |

I always wanted one of these dudes, congrats. Reminds me of the original Dawn of the Dead Zombies. |

Good deal! Liquidsky is right, they were sold blind, and if I remember correctly not too many people pulled the bloody version. |

Congrats on the SB bargain, there ain't too many out there! 
I wasn't really into the Madballs at all but picked up the two from the Halloween '05 set to complete, and they are a REALLY nice sculpt . . . the size of the heads make 'em pretty substantial compared to the Mantis and GF! Some new Madballs would be cool! |

They came in that supposed opaque green bag. People were mentioning that if you pushed the figure towards the bag you could see if it was bloody or not.
