The 'All New' Series 1 "LES CRADOS" Album Sticker set was published in the late fall of 2004 by Topps Europe Ltd. (Merlin Stickers) and released throughout France. A total of 1 print run was released during a resurrection of the 80's nostalgic GPK's in the U.S. with new releases. The French album series is comprised of 192 images from the New 1st U.S. series, the New 2nd U.S. series, and several images from the original, later GPK releases without any "a" or "b" twins. The set is an exact replica of the All New 1st U.K. Series Sticker Album Set except for the title and names are in French. The set contains 181 regular and foil stickers along with 11 poster stickers that are placed on poster taken from the album. Each paper pack contained 4 stickers and 1 foil card. The size of the stickers are very similar to the earlier French releases except for the thinner stock. This set contains cards almost the same size (2.5 x 3.5 in) as the U.S. release.

3. The #1 Card in the French Album series set is the GPK (Les Crados) title on a foil card.


  4. The Series Contains "Les Crados" Banners of Various Colors that matches the theme for each section of the sticker album.

5. The Set Contains many Foil Card Images From The 1st And 2nd All New Series U.S. GPK sets on non-foil cards. These images are updated versions of characters from the original GPK series'. Some are drastically changed with dark outlined borders, and others have just a small amount reworked such as the eyes, arms, etc, in order to make them as un-CPK (Cabbage Patch Kids) as possible.
