INCRUDIBLE IRA FRIEDMAN 
— NOTE: BUSINESS (TRADING) CARD — FIRST HANDED OUT AT DESIGNER-CON, NOV 22ND-24TH 2019 — IMAGE ALSO LOCATED WITHIN 2020S2 35TH ANNIV. SET AS CARD SP6 Up until July 31, 2023, the iconic Ira Friedman had worked on all of the global licensing and publishing deals for The Topps Company and was responsible for the many contractual GPK license agreements (as demonstrated in artist Joe Simko's artwork above and below) that collectors have seen and appreciated over the years, especially since the explosion of agreements that started in 2019. As of August 1, 2023, Andrew Goodman (Vice President and General Manager of Culture & Entertainment, Fanatics Collectibles) at Fanatics, Inc. will be assisting with the licensing role until a permanent replacement is assigned, however, a slowing down of new and exisiting GPK agreements over this period will most likely take place; so collectors may see a slight or significant reduction of product and items as 2024 rolls around. * (THE) END-OF-AN-ERA IRA  Per July 5, 2023, email correspondence: "The photo of me was taken recently at the Licensing Expo in Vegas. The one-of-a-kind lunchbox memento is courtesy of the guys at Get A Grip skateboards." Artwork by JOE Simko. Photo credit: UNK. It's All About Fans First! by Ira Friedman Ever since my first publishing gig at STARLOG and FANGORIA sci-fi and horror magazines in the late '70's, it's always been about the fans. In 1980, when I worked at Lucasfilm Ltd., I saw firsthand how much care and attention George Lucas placed on fostering an authentic connection with Star Wars fans everywhere. When I later branched off on my own, I produced official tie-in magazines for fan-fueled properties including: BladeRunner, The Goonies, Gremlins, Back to the Future, among others, and created the official E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial Fan Club for Amblin Productions and Universal Studios. When the Garbage
Pail Kids blindsided the world in 1985, it didn't take long for me to get hooked
on everything GPK. In 1987, I acquired the publishing rights for an official "one-shot"
magazine, based on the ill-fated Garbage Pail Kids movie. The film tanked at the
box office yet has become a cult favorite to some many years later. While not
particularly fond of the movie, it did not undermine my fascination with this
quirky and outrageous property. Nor did it discourage the legions of fans who
just couldn't get enough of GPK. In 1988 I joined Topps as the company's Director of New Product Development. I got to 'play' in the firm's non-sport 'sandbox' and spent much time immersed in things like Wacky Packages, Mars Attacks, along with many outside licenses and other company creations, most notably Garbage Pail Kids. My obsession with this irreverent-yet-adorable, controversial-yet-hilarious brand was in full blossom. While I was technically in charge of the GPK trading card program, the bulk of the credit goes to the artists - both back in those halcyon days and to the current times - whose incredible artwork and boundless creativity hit a nerve that continues to reverberate throughout the fan community. In more recent times I have functioned in the role of chief architect of the GPK licensed merchandise business. It's been a blast working with like-minded partners from all areas of commerce as they've passionately translated GPK into a wide variety of innovative consumer goods. This diverse range of official products span: Monopoly board games, 8-bit video games, middle-school books by R.L. Stine, comics written by Adam F. Goldberg, a stunning 78-card Tarot Deck and the upcoming, first-ever GPK Pop-Up book, plus a myriad of amazing toys and lots of other cool stuff. My 33+ year love affair with GPK is about to come to its professional end as July 31 will be my last day at Topps/Fanatics. The company has assembled a competent team to carry the torch and I look forward to seeing GPK persevere, prosper and continue to charm and infatuate the "little kid" inside us all. As for me, while GPK will always hold a special place in my heart, it's time to move on and explore other opportunities. Thanks to every one of you for being a part of my GPK adventure and for allowing me to play some part in your GPK experience. In my book, it's always been—and always will be—about fans first! - Ira Friedman, July 2023 P.S. And may the Farts be with you, always! Per July 19—22, 2023, San Diego Comic Con contact handout flyer. Per LinkedIn on July 6, 2023, "After more than 30 wonderful years at Topps, I am moving on. Beginning August 1, I will be returning to the entrepreneurial roots of my pre-Topps days. Ira Friedman Enterprises, LLC is the focus of my next chapter, specializing in IP content creation, product development and, of course, licensing and collaborations. I will be taking on a limited number of projects, concentrating on opportunities I feel passionate about -- creating fun new stuff – on my own as well as in partnership with good people I care about. While I’m not certain where my new adventure will take me, I could not be more excited about the road ahead. Perhaps we’ll connect along the way? Hope so! My best, -Ira" |

GARBAGE
PAIL KWACKS
Per Trademark Information: Trademark by The Topps Company, Inc. On November 30, 2022, a U.S. federal trademark registration was filed for GARBAGE PAIL KWACKS. The USPTO has given the GARBAGE PAIL KWACKS a trademark serial number of 97698955. The GARBAGE PAIL KWACKS trademark is filed in the category of Toys and Sporting Goods Products/Goods and Services. The description provided to the USPTO for GARBAGE PAIL KWACKS is "Toy figurines; rubber character toys; bath toys."  The tight pencil sketches for the Garbage Pail Kwacks was completed by September 2023 by artist Brent Engstrom. Artist Joe Simko came up with the name, changing the 'Q' in 'quacks' to 'KW' for 'kwacks' to still get the 'GPK' acronym. The Dreidel Company would have manufactured the items. The unreleased product was brought up within a GPK panel at the 82nd Philly Non-Sports card show panel in April 2025, where artist Brent Engstrom mentioned they would have been available within vending machines. The seven rubber duck concepts had the head and details of GPK OS1 characters for 1a Nasty NICK & 1b Evil Eddie, 8a ADAM Bomb & 8b Blasted BILLY, 30a New Wave DAVE & 30b Graffiti PETEY, OS2 characters for 44a SY Clops & 44b One-Eyed JACK, 54a Fryin' RYAN & 54b Charred CHAD, 74a MARK Bark & 74b Kennel KENNY, and OS3 character for 106a Fowl RAOUL & 106b MACK Quack. |

Watch out for Dynamite Comics! This is my art that Dynamite Comics is attempting to steal. I have no contract with Dynamite and they have no rights to my art, but they are printing a hardcover book using my art as the cover. This piece was not created for them, it was created well before they started producing GPK comics. My art has been well known in the GPK collector community for YEARS. I have attempted to contact Dynamite to resolve the issue, but they did not reply. Instead, they are attempting to fabricate paperwork where a third party is granting them and Topps exclusive ownership of my art. THIS IS THEFT." A response from Nick Barrucci of Dynamite Comics, "Nat, I am responding to this, because I do not believe you are being fully up front. Having seen this, I've asked, and no one at Dynamite has heard from you. If you attempted to contact anyone or myself, then please show that you did. You are also not laying out all of the facts correctly. We do not steal art. Now either you or your retailer are not being fully upfront. Your retailer submitted the below sketch for approval that you supplied on August 9th 2022. So either (a) you supplied a sketch of something that was already created and never told the retailer or us, or (b) you actually did the sketch, got it approved, and then drew the art. Do you have an answer? Did you submit the sketch before it was drawn or did you draw the sketch after the fact and not tell anyone? Someone is not being honest if there was a sketch provided for approval before a final cover was submitted.  Again, you are not being fully upfront with the facts. You were a publisher, and you know how it works. As a licensee, it has to be work made for hire. If this was existing art, then your retailer never told us that it was existing art. You never told us it was existing art. We would not have used it if we knew it was existing art. But then how did he get a sketch that looks like one to be approved for the cover you finished? Did you supply the sketch and then draw it or did you supply the sketch after the fact? Because the retailer was to hire you under standard work made for hire, as I'm certain you've done in the past when you published comics. You were a licensee on some titles when you published, and any work you produced would be assigned to the rights holder. Now that we know that the retailer
may not have been upfront with us, or perhaps he didn't know, or something
else, it's too convoluted and we are not using your cover nor working
with the retailer on future covers. We were not attempting to fabricate
anything. The retailer was to have a new cover commissioned, and the
artist sign the paperwork. When we spoke with him, we asked him to
confirm that he was not claiming to own the art. Again, thank you
for pointing out that someone was not upfront about this. To be clear,
we are not using your cover again. We will be taking this off of our
website on Monday. I appreciate your bringing this to our attention,
and wish you the best. Thank you, Nick." For an exciting first from Dynamite, all main covers for every issue in the series will be polybagged with an exclusive new limited edition Garbage Pail Kids trading card! The first three covers on each will have cards featuring their art, while the fourth trading card style cover will have a card featuring an interior page from the issue. Of course these are approved by the Topps, and an unprecedented opportunity to meld together the two major media that fans love from the franchise. Collectors can choose among their covers to get their preferred cards or go for a complete set! In talking about the new series and how it picks up from their previous stories, Goldberg said, "Our cliffhanger in Origins teased that the Garbage Pail Kommandos traveled through time and landed in the '80s. This gave us the perfect runway to kick off our new story in the decade when Garbage Pail Kids were created by Topps. Although, we quickly discover that it's Nasty Nick's alternate 1980s where Garbage Pail Kids rule the world and humans are nearly extinct. This was the perfect jumping off point to continue to have fun with the time traveling conceit as Adam Bomb and the gang hunt Nasty Nick through time."Zapata added, "We wanted to have the characters form a solid family structure in those first three issues. That family bond between the characters has paid off in this new series as our heroes find themselves trapped in a world they do not recognize. It all snowballs from there as the Kommandos discover who really won the war." Rodionoff pointed out what makes this run of stories different, "We got to expand our unique take on the Garbage Pail Kids; the juxtaposition of GPK characters with more "normal" human characters. The contrast of having them occupy the same universe is what sets this book apart from other GPKomics of the past. As far as specifics go, I wouldn't want to spoil any of the future issues, but I will say that they do travel to a spoiled future."Goldberg and Rodionoff once again team for the writing while Chris Meeks joins Zapata on the interior art and the first issue gets amazing covers from Zapata, Meeks and Tom Bunk, plus a classic trading card cover and a Blank Authentix cover where fans can get their favorite artists to do their takes on these classic characters. Plus, for those who missed the individual issues, Dynamite is releasing the Garbage Pail Kids: Origins trade paperback at the same time. * GPK: TRASHIN' THROUGH TIME #1 COVERS (W) Hans Rodionoff + Adam F.

GOLDBERG, HANS RODIONOFF, and JEFF ZAPATA have rejoined forces with Dynamite Entertainment to continue their saga of the outrageous origins of the Garbage Pail Kids as they go Trashin' Through Time! Jumping from the days of World War II at the end of GPK: Origins, our heroes find themselves transported to the 1980s - where Garbage Pail Kids rule the world! That's right, the Garbage Pail Kids are now the dominant species on Earth, and normal humans have been subjugated and forced to live as outcasts from society. It's the Planet of the Garbage Pail Kids - and we just live on it! Garbage Pail Kids: Trashin' Through Time #1 also features covers showcasing four incredible artists: TOM BUNK, JEFF ZAPATA, and CHRIS MEEKS, along with a classic GPK trading card image by DUSTIN GRAHAM [author's note: I believe this to be JOHN POUND, but Dustin assisted Zapata on inking & color). And best of all, every version comes polybagged with a special GPK: ORIGINS trading card created exclusively for Dynamite and officially approved by Topps!" 
The Dynamite Entertainment site had an exclusive sale of all five regular comic covers for $24.99 with the sale title of, 'GARBAGE PAIL KIDS: TRASHIN' THROUGH TIME REGULAR COVER 5 PACK DYNAMITE.COM EXCLUSIVE', and the description of, 'SKU: C133816.

NOTE: FINAL ARTWORK / CANCELLED / NOT PUBLISHED + SIMKO'S 2015 30TH ANNIV. 80'S SPOOF 1A/1B On October 4, 2023, artist Robert Jimenez posted the above unpublished artwork to social media (+ Reddit) stating to Instagram, "Sharing this illustration I did for a store variant cover to Dynamite's Garbage Pail Kids: Trashin' Through Time , which, unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control is no longer happening.", and Facebook, "Wanted to share this illustration I did for a store variant cover to Trashin' Through Time#1, unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control, my cover is not happening." Due to a situation with Gotham City Comics surrounding the ADAM Bomb artwork cover by Nat Jones for the Origins #1 variant cover, and an upcoming hardback collated version, Dynamite decided to no longer accept commissioned requests due to this incident and the unfortunate sequence of events. See the GPK Licenses 2022 page for more information on the original cover. Hardcover image pictured further above with additional information. An insider noted: "It was commissioned by a comic shop owner who was allowed to create [their] own variant covers (if a store orders enough copies, Dynamite will publish an exclusive cover for the store with the art provided). A previous comic shop commissioned artist complained that his cover was being reused by Dynamite and posted they were stealing his art. Dynamite got upset; they decided not to re-print the cover and not sell or deal with that shop owner because of the confusion. Since this [new piece] was commissioned by the same comic shop owner, it was later cancelled by the owner of Dynamite to not be printed. [The tribute] reused a Back To Future gag similar to other artists gags on cards." The license holder deals with different rules for covers than comic shops who can bend the rules a bit more. * 
On November 18, 2023, co-creator and artist Jeff Zapata took to his social channels to share a bit of production information for TTT comic #1 with some changes that had taken place, especially pertaining to the Cover D promo card artwork, stating, "From the cutting room floor. We originally had Spider MANNY in the black costume as inked by Chris Meeks. But at printing time we were told to change it. So I drew, inked, and colored a Spider MANNY as I originally designed him as a replacement. But that didn’t fly either. So I went with Anna Banna." This original iteration, is very reminiscent of Zapata's 2004 ANS4 'Spider MANNY' (card 19a) concept painted by John Pound. * GPK: TRASHIN' THROUGH TIME #2 COVERS (W) Hans Rodionoff + Adam F.

  The license agreement most likely occured in early to mid-2022, considering the initial launch plan renderings for the lollipop characters of ADAM Bomb, Leaky LINDSAY, and New Wave DAVE for Series 1 of the GPK Pop Ups! were completed prior to December 2022. These renderings were created and modified by the company using existing products located on the market and had to stay within the guardrails of the character likeness. The hand sculpting for the three characters started in December 2022, where both ADAM Bomb and New Wave DAVE were ready for review in early February 2023, and Leaky LINSDAY was completed by mid-February, where the boogers were molded and applied as a separate piece; all submitted to Topps for review, direction and approval. The painted prototypes and character turns were completed and submitted to Topps for 'deco approvals' in May 2023. PLEASE SEE GPK LICENSES 2024 PAGE FOR ADDITIONAL MATERIAL |

A GRIP SKATEBOARDS™ 'ABOUT
US' per website: Get a Grip
Skateboards was EXPLICITLY formed out of an incomprehensible addiction and passion
for GPK. Sure, we liked what Santa Cruz did with their decks back in 2017 (nothing
but love SC!) – but we felt that the story was left unfinished. There ARE
other characters than just Adam Bomb, right? We can always find more room on our
walls, right? Yes and YES. And THAT is why we decided to write a new chapter in
the GPK Skateboard history book. We had a dream; we are living it right now, and
it is time for you to get a grip, get on board, get crazy, and do a god darn kickflip!

Per Wiki, within 'the Arts', "Homage is a show or demonstration of respect or dedication to someone or something, sometimes by simple declaration but often by some more oblique reference, artistic or poetic. The term is often used in the arts, where one author or artist shows respect to another by allusion or imitation; this is often spelled like and pronounced similar to the original French hommage." |

PRODUCTION AB APPAREL + PRODUCTS Per website: Hybris is the company behind The Shirtstore, founded in 1998 as an advertising company. 2002, we began to gradually print some clothes for artists, customers and friends. People who carried "our" clothes are often asked where to buy them and after a while we came up with the idea for an online store. Our first webshop was launched in 2003 and the store was called Poohwear.se. It was not long before interest was high and after a year was what was intended as a pet project a full time job for three people. 2005 we changed name to our present name Shirtstore. Since then all the focus is on improving customer service, product development and develop our site. 2009, we launched Shirtstore in Denmark and 2010 in Norway and Finland. Today we are one of Scandinavia's most visited and popular clothing store. Shirtstore is owned by Hybris Production AB. • NOTE: VISIT 2022 GPK LICENSE & 2024 GPK LICENSE PAGE FOR PRODUCT INFORMATION In June 2023, the Hybris website added the below Garbage Pail Kids post to their website:  THE GROSS AND FUNNY WORLD OF GARBAGE PAIL KIDS June 14, 2023 — Peo Olsson Garbage Pail Kids, or GPK for short, is a trading card series that was first released by Topps in 1985. GARBAGE PAIL KIDS CARDS — The cards feature illustrations of kids with exaggerated and often gross characteristics, such as bulging eyes, missing teeth, and oozing wounds. Each card also has a humorous and often pun-filled name, such as "Adam Bomb" or "Bony Joanie."  The Garbage Pail Kids series was an instant hit, with kids and collectors alike drawn to the cards' unique and irreverent style. The series has since spawned numerous follow-up sets, as well as merchandise such as stickers, t-shirts, and even a feature film. One of the reasons for the series' enduring popularity is its ability to appeal to both kids and adults. While kids are drawn to the gross-out humor and silly names, adults appreciate the clever wordplay and nostalgic appeal of the series. Another reason for the series' success is its ability to push boundaries and challenge conventions. The Garbage Pail Kids series was controversial when it was first released, with some parents and educators concerned about the cards' graphic and sometimes violent imagery. However, the series' creators defended the cards as a form of satire and parody, and the controversy only served to boost the cards' popularity. Today, Garbage Pail Kids remains a beloved and iconic part of pop culture, with fans continuing to collect and trade the cards. The series has also inspired numerous imitators and parodies, cementing its place in the pantheon of irreverent and subversive humor. In conclusion, Garbage Pail Kids is a unique and enduring trading card series that has captured the hearts and imaginations of fans for over 30 years. With its gross-out humor, clever wordplay, and boundary-pushing style, it continues to be a beloved and iconic part of pop culture. |

The mini clip on plushies will be a blind bag situation, while the squeeze plushies will feature an eye bulge or vomit. Look for these starting mid October." 
Per president of License 2 Play, via correspondence within November 2023, when enquired about a potential release period for the GPK Squeezers, "We had to put them on hold, unfortunately, as the testing/MOQ is super high. We need a large customer to come on board for us to get those to the market." The 'large customer' would have been the same (or similar) as Wal*Mart, who picked up their Deluxe Plush product. Another item, GPK Goo Squad, apparently also went nowhere, and would have been produced by Alley Opp, LLC (Grand Rapids, MI) and most likely distributed by Momentum Brands (Commerce, CA), that historically distributed previous 'ooze' products. Only a mock-up prototype for the Alley Oop! item was produced, which showcased four different characters and would have included a GPK sticker within the goo/ooze and possibly a bonus GPK chapter access code by R.L. Stine. |

GPK
FIGURAL BAG CLIPS : SERIES 3 On September 19, 2023, GPK News announced that Monogram International Inc. would deput their 3D GPK Figural Foam Bag Clips Series 3 at the New York Toy Fair from September 30 through October 03, which will be available to the public later next year. Both Series 3 and and a potential Series 4 have been in development for quite some time. For more information on Garbage Pail Kids Monogram products (bank, magnet, et cetera), visit the GPK Licenses 2022 page.  MOCK-UP IMAGE SHOWING 'JOE BLOW' FIGURE  As with the Abrams' two day-to-day calendars, Ira Freidman at Topps had reached to me to on December 07, 2021, to eyeball the first two releases, stating, "We are working with a company, Monogram, who is doing some figural backpack key chains, sold in foil packs. There are two series in different stages of development, the first is hoping to get to market sometime in March. The character selections were based on the premise that we didn’t want to put all the most favorite characters in the first series so that fans could look to subsequent series for some of the more popular ones. We’re aiming for a compelling assortment in each series. We’ve now been asked to provide a suggested list of a dozen characters for a potential series 3. Here again we’re looking to continue holding aside a few of the ‘super stars’ for down the line, yet still offer an attractive assortment. Aaron, considering all the above, could you provide me with a recommended list for series 3 characters? Maybe even a 4th series, if you’re so inclined/inspired? This is your mission, should you decide to accept it." Minus the popular OS1 and OS2 characters, my goal was to make Series 3 & Series 4 feel OS3 & OS4-heavy by having four representative characters from each release, respectively.  MOCK-UP IMAGE SHOWING 'JOE BLOW' FIGURE  ITEM # 77520 01. Nasty NICK (OS1) 02. JASON Basin Potty SCOTTY (OS1)* 03. Weird WENDY (OS1) 04. Disgustin' JUSTIN (OS2) 05. RUSSELL Muscle (OS2) 06. 07.

Hurt CURT PAT Splat (OS3) - CHASE * I tried to get 'JASON Basin' in there for my brother, but the nomenclature was updated for the character, along with others, unfortunately, from the original list that I had sent to Topps/Ira on December 09, 2021, to the more "popular" name; still super cute/cool! Changes from tentative line-up to final release in red. The 'JOE Blow' character was replaced with the 'ROY Bot' character, and packaging updated, for the actual release; most likely due to the fact that the Bazooka brand was acquisitioned by Apax Partner in October 2023. The no.6 'Hot Head HARVEY' character was originally listed and planned for the tentative Series 4 release. Pre-orders for Series 3 started to post online during December 2023 (EE on December 22).

In just a few years, we have become known as the premiere online and offline shops offering American comics and books in China.

On November 20, 2022, Polyphony posted a GPK sneak peek image simply stating, "Coming soon…." and later the same day, "Debut: Adam Bomb by Polyphony.

works of art. Premium quality is our DNA." GPK: CLASSIC COLLECTION — WAVE 1  The partnership with Premium DNA was announced back in 2021, mainly regarding the Madballs vs. GPK license (covered within the 'GPK Licenses: Madballs' page), but a Classic line was hinted at in 2022. Per GPK News article on April 26, 2022, "The sculpts, paint, and accessories will look exactly like the card, recreated in 3D. The packaging will make collectors feel like they are opening a 3D version of am OS pack. Like their Madballs figures, they will have 26 points of articulation and come with swappable parts and accessories.

WHOLESALE DESCRIPTION: Wholesale World's Smallest Topps™ Micro Card Collection - 5 Pack | 5054 Item Number : 5054 • UPC : 8-10010-99343-4 • Manufacturer : Super Impulse • Character Type : World's Smallest   During the month of May, the Super Impulse website updated their pages to add their upcoming 2023 releases, which included the new World's Smallest GPK and Wacky Packages Micro Card Collection, item #5054. Each package will contains three packs with five cards each, for a total of 15 stickers, with one of the packs being a mystery blind pack. The packaging does not contain any type of checklist, but the total number of GPK consists of 50 standard OS1 cards + 20 rare (Food Fight!) cards for 70 total.  
 NOTE: CATALOG INSERT SHOWS ORIGINAL OS1 WAX PACK IMAGE W/ CURVED BANNER NOTE: The GPK cards appear to be similar to the previously released World's Smallest GPK and World's Smallest GPK Blind Box collections, but the full 'Garbage Pial Kids' title is used (banner style for the 'rare' subset), instead of the 'GPK' acronym, and the arrow faces inwards now, like the nostalgic U.S. cards, instead of facing outwards, like many international releases, because the mini stickers are die cut! The OS1 + OS2 packs contain only OS1 card characters, and the mystery packs contain characters from the Food Fight release. On June 16, 2023, SI took to social media and stated, "GPK and Wacky Packages together in one World's Smallest Topps Micro Card Collection! Collect them all and relive the glory days of gross-out humor. Who knew hilarious and revolting would make such a great match?!", with a link to a third-party Amazon seller. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Super Impulse has teamed up with Topps (the most prolific makers of trading cards) to bring together GPK and Wacky Packages in an exciting new collection of miniature trading cards. Introducing World’s Smallest GPK and Wacky Packages Micro Card Collection! Each pack includes 15 mini stickers - 5 GPK stickers, 5 Wacky Packages stickers, and 5 Mystery Pack stickers from either GPK or Wacky Packages. It’s the perfect collaboration assortment to add to your collection of Topps entertainment brands! GPK and Wacky Packages’ nostalgic roots, and over-the-top zaniness continue to work their way into the hearts of kids, adult collectors, and pop-culture aficionados! * As of late 2023, Super Impulse placed a HOLD on their Series 4 Wacky Packages set, and as of 2024 has removed the Wacky Packages page from the 'Our Brands' section of their website. I'd safely assume the release has been cancelled, and not sure what this might entail for the GPK brand. |

Toys, LLC debuted and featured Beeline Creative’s Geeki Tikis Garbage Pail
Kids collection line in 2019 at the New York Comic Con that were located at their
Toynk Toys booths and also online afterwards. Each GPK Geeki Tikis purchase included
a free exclusive GPK Collector’s Card, featuring art by GPK artist Joe Simko.
Toynk Toys also joined forces with Just Funky and Surreal Entertainment to release
several different GPK items (playing cards, enamel pin, fleece blankets, snowglobe).
The ADAM Bomb figural mood light appears to be the first exclusive item. Toynk's Backstory: "Back in 2001, tired of the boring corporate grind, three friends: Steve, Ron & Mike hatch a brilliant plan to develop a company centered on fun products. What couldn’t be more enjoyable than a business selling costumes, toys and collectibles? The Toynk Toys team has since grown and varies from 40 to 200+ diverse, fun-loving people, depending on the season." Toynk's Philosophy: "Toynk Toys aims to deliver an ever expanding array of cool costumes, trendy toys and hot collectibles to you, our valued customers. Our team comes together each day, working hard to improve our customers’ experience. It’s not really considered work, when we know that our products bring adventure, joy and happiness to life. It’s no wonder that we love what we do and we love doing it for you." * Garbage Pail Kids Adam Bomb Figural Mood Light GPK Adam Bomb Figural Mood Light for Nightstand Table | 10 Inches Tall SKU: TNK-614171 ['TNK' = Toynk Toys] — Part Number: 614171 Weight: 12.3 Ounces — Color: Orange Assembled Product Dimensions: 27 x 23 x 20 Inches Brand + Manufacturer: Toynk Toys — Price: $39.99 *NOTE: PRICES JUMPED TO $49.99 A WEEK AFTER RELEASE  PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: THE GARBAGE GANG IS ALIVE AND GROSSER THAN EVER Prepare for a blast of nostalgia with this exclusive Adam Bomb Figural Mood Light from the Garbage Pail Kids.
