As some on here may know, I'm a bit of a punchball enthusiast/nerd. Since I was a little boy I've always had a special place in my heart for punchballs. It started with getting an orange He-Man printed punchball when I was a toddler and being especially heartbroken when it popped. Seeing them on display in toy, novelty and department stores as a kid and wanting them despite them being more and more forbidden as I got older made the ones I got even more special. Especially the former Bluebird punchballs that are now sold under the Qualatex or Funsational brands.
I literally have thousands of punchballs of all brands, colors, sizes, nationalities and vintages in my collection.
Going through the collection about a month ago I stumbled upon some older punchballs that were buried in the bottom of a tub. I can't remember where I got these halloween themed punchballs but I have a couple hundred so I must have cleaned out wherever I got them from (as I tend to do when I see balloons I like for sale). The 2 jack o lantern punchballs have original BlueBird packaging whereas the newer Disney Nemo Punchball is straight-up Pioneer branded.
Not sure the vintage of these orange punchballs but they seem to blow up to 16" just fine. They've been inflated for about a month now. I thank my brave and wonderful wife for blowing these up as I am phobic and quite scared to take chances especially with older punchballs.
The tied punchball is my latest comfort object and I take it everywhere with me in the house.
