a Licensing Agreement, or license agreement, is a
contract between the owner of a patent, brand or trademark and a company that
wants to use the patented or trademarked for product and services. The license
grants permission to the licensee and includes rules and stipulations. The licensee
must honor these guidelines by the licensor and the contract agreement by both
parties. |
The
year 2024 continued GPK licenses from existing contracts, in the absence
of retired Ira Friedman (VP of Licensing & Publishing), and brand-new
contracts are currently in question, although it is rumoured Fanatics
wanted to limit and reduce the amount of GPK licenses for the time being.
Alphabetically, the pre-existing license agreements with Topps for the
Garbage Pail Kids brand included, Abrams
Books, Atomic Toybox, Cloudco Entertainment (Madballs),
Dynamite Entertainment,
Get A Grip Skateboards,
Epic Ink Books, Flix Candy Co., Greenlight Collectibles, Hybris Production
AB, Jago Studios,

Challenge Coins (aka GPK Nation; not covered), License-2-Play

and the yet unreleased Polyphony product.

Two
trademarks, for 'Garbage Pail Kids' and 'GPK', were filed on June
20 & September 04, 2024, respectively. Both elude to the same
indentification number 41 (international
class),
which is a catch-all for a variety of 'entertainment services', but
since it mentions 'television series', it's hopeful this might be
a prerequisite for the previously announced HBO/Tornante/Danny McBride
(& Josh Bycel) GPK cartoon in May of 2021. The production company
is Rough House Pictures, and would have been associated with MAX/HBO,
post merger, with animation being completed with an Australian animation
studio. A first episode draft, test animation, and voice-acting reel
was submitted for review in mid-2023, with no word about the projec
being greenlit, but co-developer David Gordon Green mentioned, in
October 2023, that the project was not dead yet.

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!

A variant vehicle does exist for the SDCC exclusive, a 'RAW' chase diecast. Roughly 4% of the production which equals 80 vehicles; the remaining 96% of production, and roughly 1944 vehicles, would therfore be the regular green version. Per Hobbytalk.com, "a RAW chase diecast refers to a special type of collectible diecast car that is produced in very limited quantities. These cars are often unpainted or have a raw metal finish, making them stand out from regular releases. They are highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and unique appearance" Per Greenlight booth, extra vehicles would be sold after the show on eBay, but grey version had sold out. The image is a bit deceiving, size-wise, but GL handed out several different supersized 'GL Exclusive' employee cards at the 2024 SDCC between the dates of July 25 through July 28, a different 4x6 (4.5" x 6.25") jumbo card per day to collect. They handed out Unaware AARON on July 25, Aggravated ANGELA on July 26, Traffic Lady KATIE on July 27, and Tangled TIM on July 28. These cards apparently had a 100-card print run. Unverified, a second card was handed out on Sunday for Clutch CLINT that had a 40-card print run. All cards have a plain GL cardback, unlock their regular-sized brethren. All artwork by GPK artist JOE Simko, except #2 (ANGELA) by GPK artist BRENT Engstrom. Per GPK News, via GL, "We did 200 cards of each and we had 5 designs. All of the cards are GreenLight Exclusives designs based on GreenLight employees. These designs are completed by an official GPK artist for our "Garbage Pail Kids Series" line. Every GPK series that we make has 1 GPK sticker based on a Greenlight employee so the 5 cards that came out are from our "Garbage Pail Kid Series" 1-5. Unfortunately, we do not have any more cards to give out!" NOTE: Remaining regular green version SDCC exclusive vehicle posted to eBay on August 09, 2024, on sale for $20 + ~$6 S&H. The grey/gray RAW version SOLD OUT at the show. |

BOWMAN CHROME GPK X MLB CASE HITS
Although not technically a GPK brand license with an outside source, Topps has used their MLB (Major League Baseball) license for a few GPK x MLB mashups over the past few years. These releases were mainly Topps Shop online sets from 2022, GPK x MLB Series 1 (by artist Keith Shore), from 2023, GPK x MLB Series 2 (by artist Alex Pardee), and from this year, 2024, GPK x MLB Series 3 (by artist David Gross); see the 'GPK Online Release' sections for more information. GPK artist DAVID Gross is back, creating another batch of caricature-style GPK characters for the 2024 Bowman Chrome release, but as ultra-rare case hits only. TOPPS SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS AD ON SEPTEMBER 03, 2024 Topps took to social media on September 03, 2024, to announce, "FIRST LOOK: Garbage Pail Kids x Bowman Chrome Baseball.

I tend to call GPK that look like Garbage Pail Adults and look more human than CPK, Garbage Pail Karicatures. Caricature def'n: an image of a person in which certain striking characteristics are exaggerated in order to create a comedic effect. Per a Facebook post, by the artist, on September 3, 2024, Gross mentioned, "I worked on 24 Garbage Pail Kids cards in the new Bowman Baseball Chrome set coming out on the 11th. Featuring rookies and top minor league stars. The rookies will have the RC badge on them. They will be tough to get for sure as they will be one in every-other case, I think.

POLYPHONY
(/puh·li·fuh·nee/)
Noun. Music. Def'n: A musical texture or the style of simultaneously combining a number of parts, each forming an individual melody and harmonizing with each other. Per website: Founded in 2016 in Beijing, China, Polyphony (Fù diào) began as a single shop selling mostly Marvel and DC comics. In just a few years, we have become known as the premiere online and offline shops offering American comics and books in China. Polyphony has similarly become a top name for imported and original designer toys in China, and has begun serving shipping select items internationally. Comic | Music | Toy | Joy NOTE: MORE INFORMATION WITHIN THE GPK 2023 LICENSES PAGE On August 12, 2024, I reached out to Polyphony's via their contact page on their website and enquired whether the GPK ADAM Bomb figure was still in development. Polyphony responded on August 13, 2024, and mentioned, "Yes! It's been a bit of a long and bumpy road, but we wanted to make this figure perfect. Our goal started out as making the best and most accurate Adam Bomb figure that has ever been done, and I hope that's what we have achieved. The prototype we showed a while back had a ton of hidden issues that a lot of customers might have missed or not cared too much about, but if it wasn't perfect we weren't going to release it. I'm happy to say that we are (finally) very, very close, have wrapped up all of the issues, and it 100% is coming soon. We have more plans for GPK coming up!" The ADAM Bomb figure should make it's premiere at next month's New York Comic Con. On September 25, 2024, Polyphony posted an image on their social media pages of twenty-two yellow and red neckties, stating, "See you in NYC?"; a visible hint of the upcoming GPK ADAM Bomb figure. September 29, 2024, Polyphony posted a GPK packaging sneak peek image to social media, simply stating, "Whos Adam Bomb[?]" and on October 09, 2024, Polyphony posted a OS1 WRAPPER poster image, simply stating, "Say What[?]" NOTE: The box packaging for NYCC is apparently exclusive. An ADAM Bomb 'turntable weight' was also set out at the Tenacious Toys table (NYCC Booth 1771), where Polyphony had set up camp, as a 'Display Only' item; time will tell if eventually released. Per Polyphony, "The turntable weight will be coming very soon, this is the only prototype right now at the show. Final pricing not set yet, but I can assure you it will have typical polyphony great quality." Pics per GPK News... note the weight is sitting next to the 15" Maestro ADAM Bomb figure, as a size comparison. The 'SIDE P' may equal 'P' for 'prototype', and the 'INSERT HERE', for the center spindle placement on the turntable, is a nice shout out to the card's 'PEEL HERE' sticker. On October 14, 2024, Polyphony took to social media once again to show the bonus card plus some 3D specs, stating, "Bonus 1: 3D Specs & Double-Sided 3D Card. Put these on, and youre not just looking at Adam Bombyoure stepping into his world. The Wearable 3D Specs transform your viewing experience, bringing a special 3D card to life with every turn.
