Captain Howdy 6 years 9 months ago Posts: 2212	An even more interesting twist on Bonkers! was that they endorsed Madballs! The "Ugly Ball" was apparently a rare Madball for Madball enthusiasts to try and collect. Keep in mind that this is pure speculation.

Captain Howdy 6 years 9 months ago Posts: 2212	No problem Harry Reems, I'm sure some lucky (or unlucky, depending on how you look at it) person owns an "Ugly Ball" and is selling it on eBay.
