Hmm, that's an interesting thought, you make a compelling case. I touched one and it felt more like plastic than rubber, though it was pretty brief touch. Also I'm not sure about the size.
Lego studs are 8mm, or 4==32mm, so maybe 85mm for the sphere in this picture. (that was a really rough measurement, I might be able to find a better picture with a better "ruler") The website I saw offered 2.5" & 3" black Kong balls, though I'm not sure I trust their measurements. 3" seems about a cm short though. Maybe my measurements are off. Savage, did you get good measurements in the 3D model?
I also feel like they have a slight texture, unlike the smooth Kong balls - however both my feel test and the texture could have been fooled if they were painted.
Curious why you say they aren't light?
To be clear, I just called out the Omni - in this pix it's almost 45 degrees to the camera, so it's not a good ruler in this photo.
