CLOUDCO ENTERTAINMENT AND TOPPS PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MADBALLS™ vs. GARBAGE PAIL KIDS® FACE-OFF IN "A BATTLE OF THE GROSSEST" BRAND COLLABORATION LOS ANGELES. January 14, 2020. Cloudco Entertainment, owner of the venerable-but-irreverent Madballs™ brand, and The Topps Company, owner of the renowned-yet-subversive Garbage Pail Kids® brand ("GPK"), have teamed up for a collaboration that playfully pits classic 1980s icons and "co-heavyweights of gross" against one another. The collaboration will feature all-new 1980s inspired artwork from veteran Madballs and GPK illustrators and kick-off with a number of consumer goods partners, including trading cards, collector toys, soft lines, collectible augmented reality pins, and more. As an original "gross out" brand of the 1980s, Topps released its Garbage Pail Kids series of trading cards in 1985, featuring hilariously revolting characters with appropriately irreverent names. Fifteen different card series were produced over the next three years in addition to a GPK animated series and a full slate of globally-licensed consumer products, with ongoing product lines that continue to the present day. For its part, Madballs launched its irregularly-shaped toy foam balls in 1986, featuring its own proprietary and often-socially-inappropriate characters with ghastly faces, grotesque names, and disruptively funny attitudes to match. Madballs went on to sell tens of millions of toys, inspire a series of animated specials, and launch an extensive consumer products program that included comic books, softlines, video games, collectibles, seasons, and back-to-school products.  2018S1 WE HATE THE '80s PARODY BY ARTIST BRENT ENGSTROM For over three decades, Madballs and GPK have both been known as the "grossest of the gross", co-ruling counterculture with their pun-heavy names and subversive humor, and this collaboration features all-new artwork that pits entire groups of Garbage Pail Kids and Madballs' characters against one another, as well as individual characters from each brand in fun and tongue-and-cheek one-on-one face-offs. Artwork will remain "authentically 80s" via all-new imagery from long-time veterans of each brand like Jim Groman, who worked on the original Madballs brand launch in the 1980s, and Joe Simko, an artist and illustrator whose artwork has been prominently featured in the brand's trading cards and packaging. Consumer product launch partners include: Topps (trading cards), Megalopolis (two-pack action figures), Mad Engine (apparel and accessories), Chalk Line (jackets), Mishka NYC (streetwear, apparel, accessories, and vinyl Medicom figures), Pinfinity (augmented reality pins), and Super Impulse (collectible toys), with specific mobile app, retail, publishing, and other partnerships to be announced shortly.  2019S1 WE HATE THE '90s PARODY BY ARTIST JOE MCWILLIAMS "Madballs and Garbage Pail Kids are of the same era and share tons of irreverent attributes so we love the idea of a fun 'confrontational collaboration' that plays off the two brands as competitors," said Robert Prinzo, Cloudco Entertainment's Head of Global Licensing. "Whether it's Hollywood monsters, horror icons or comic book superheroes, fans always want to see 'impossible' match-ups from different universes, so we're grateful to partner with Topps and deliver the 'grossest' possible version of that here." ... "Shared nostalgic roots and over-the-top zaniness make this collab a no-brainer," said Ira Friedman, Topps' VP of Global Licensing. "Our respective fan bases as well as pop-culture aficionados everywhere are going to have fun with this outrageous mash-up." |

The mock up does state 'Premium DNA', but not sure if the Madballs VS GPK figs will have accessories & be 6". The GPK version will not have the revealing pierced nipple, but a vest instead.

So the first 300 people that buy one of our collaboration t-shirts will get one of these limited officially licensed and maybe the first ever?! Mishka + GPK vs Madballs card! I designed the front and back & my favorite modern GPK artist, Joe Simko, brought it to life. he absolutely kiled it and I hope everyone enjoys it.

So that's why when we were asked if we wanted to be an official apparel partner between a new project called 'Madballs vs GPK', we felt this must of been a gross-out dream come true, and it was! For our first drop, we had our favorite contemporary GPK artist, Joe Simko, create the ultimate fantasy card graphic incorporating all three properties! This amazing graphic looks awesome on a t-shirt, but we could not not have a card! Topps said the only way we could do this is by having it be a giveaway with a product. We made 300 cards.
