DEF'N: 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 2025 continued GPK licenses from existing contracts, in the absence of retired Ira Friedman (VP of Licensing & Publishing), and brand-new contracts currently on hold; it is still rumoured that Fanatics wanted to limit and reduce the amount of GPK licenses for the time being. Retail/hobby card releases have also slowed down; but online material have held onto their scheduled releases. Alphabetically, the pre-existing license agreements with Topps for the Garbage Pail Kids brand and continued product included, Abrams Books, Atomic Toybox, Cloudco Entertainment (Madballs), Dynamite Entertainment, Get A Grip Skateboards, Epic Ink Books, Greenlight Collectibles, Hybris Production AB, Leo Challenge Coins (aka GPK Nation; not covered), Monogram International, Inc., Polyphony, and and Super7. NOTE: Atomic Toybox is also listed within the 'Cons & Fests' pages. New partnerships saw new licenses, announcements, and merchandise introduced from ?














NOTE: As with the year 2024, Abrams Books continued their GPK license with calendar releases for the 2025 calendar year, except for paperback reprints of the R.L. Stine GPK youth novels. Calendar information can be located within the previous GPK license pages.

Four and a half years after the hardcover version, Abrams Books is releasing a softcover edition of their R.L. Stine Garbage Pail Kids (Book #1) Welcome to Smellville story, through their Amulet Books imprint, that publishes novels, graphic novels and nonfiction for young adults. The Book #1 release was listed to the Abrams website and to retail websites, as a preorder, in mid-December 2024. The Book #2 release was listed to the Abrams webite and to retail websites, as a preorder, in mid-February 2025 (the week of February 10, 2025). One would assume that Book #3 will follow suit.

At midday on Sunday, February 02, 2025, Atomic Toybox posted a GPK shirt ad to their social media channels that included wrapper artwork and stated 'Back in Stock'. The original GPK wrapper t-shirts were released by the Creepy Co. in 2018 and when their license expired they sold all of their overstock to Atomic Toybox, who assisted them with their enamel pins and had their product on display for the SDCC shows. The overstock technically did not contain any GPK wrapper t-shirts, but the items can be seen at the bottom of the Creepy Co. page where the Creepy Co. label and sleeve tag can be seen. Additionaly, the OS2 blue shirt should have a red log, 'STICKERS', and suit if actually for OS2, but only the OS1 imagery is used. A sweatshirt variation was also available.

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.

On December 24, 2024, GPK News posted the final production mock-up images for the Series 4 Figural Bag Clip release, showcasing the character line-up, the wrapper/pack, and box packaging. The Fryin' RYAN nomenclature has been corrected for the final checklist, and green goo has been added to Mad MIKE's battleaxe. Although very little pre-order information online, as of yet, product has a tentative release date of January 31, 2025. Note: 'In Stock' one week early, on January 24, 2025.

GARBAGE PAIL KIDS 3D FOAM/FIGURAL BAG CLIP SERIES 4

GPK 3D Foam Bag Clip, Series 4 • Price $3.00 • SKU: 77525 • Categories: 3D Foam Bag Clip, Topps • Tag: GPK • Pre-Order Listings: Nov & Dec 2025 (No Image) • Weight: 1 kg • Dimensions: 2 × 2 × 2 cm • Release Date: January 31, 2025
Note: 'In Stock' one week early, on January 24, 2025.




ITEM # 77525
01. New Wave DAVE (OS1)
02. Mad MIKE (OS1)
03. KIM Kong (OS1)
04. Charred CHAD Fryin(g)' RYAN (OS2)
05. Greaser GREG (OS2)
06. Hot Head HARVEY (OS3) Ig LOU (OS4)
07. HOLLY Wood (OS4)
08. Trashed TRACY (OS4)
09. JACK O. Lantern (OS4)
10. Odd TODD (OS2) - CHASE (aka EXCLUSIVE A)
11. Sloshed JOSH (OS4) - CHASE (aka EXCLUSIVE B)




Checklist changes from tentative line-up, that I sent to Topps/Ira on December 09, 2021, to final release; only one character change/addition and one nomenclature change. The mock-up sheet showed up online around April 2024, and even earlier for their catalog. The no.6 'ROY Bot' character listed was originally planned for the tentative Series 4 release, but pulled and used in Series 3, to replace the JOE Blow character which was removed, and renamed 'Hot Head HARVEY'; most likely due to the fact that the Bazooka brand was acquisitioned by Apax Partner in October 2023. The CHASE nomenclature shows up on the foam 'cards', so listed as 'Exclusive A' & 'Exclusive B' within the catalog, and Fryin(g)' RYAN was changed to Charred CHAD. Pre-orders for Series 4 started to post online mid-2024, but so far only at BAM! (Books-a-Million), with the manufacturer listed as Alliance Entertainment (LLC), a worldwide wholesaler and distributor of home entertainment products.

Per Monogram's 2025 catalog, the 'Garbage Pail Kids' (nor 'GPK', or 'Topps') brand name was not listed within the product availability list as a brand license. However, within the catalog itself, only the GPK ADAM Bomb PVC Figural Bank, originally released in early 2022, was showcased—which must have sold well and may round out the brand license by Monogram. With the low distribution of Series 4 foam bag clips, it is unlikely collectors will see a Series 5.

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.

On February 19, 2025, around 1:55pm CT, Polyphony sent out a blast email titled, "Adam Bomb is Nearly Here!", to collectors that had purchased and pre-ordered the high-end figure from their website after the 2024 New York Comic Con. The body of the email stated, "Adam Bomb is on the Water! We told you we’d keep you updated as we got closer, and here it is. The Maestro Series | GPK Adam Bomb has made its way from China, through the Panama Canal, and is currently headed up the East Coast to a port in the USA! It should be arriving in the next couple of weeks, and we’ll begin shipping them out shortly after. It won't be long until the best Adam Bomb ever blasts off and lands in your hands."



Additionally, the email went on to describe the new packaging for the figure, which is differnet than the pre-release boxes seen at the 2024 NYCC, stating, "We are presenting here an exclusive first look at the packaging of the Adam Bomb, because we went all in. In typical Polyphony fashion the box isn’t just a box. Just like the rest of the figure, it's loaded with hidden references and Easter eggs for you to uncover. Trust us, when you see it in person, you'll understand exactly why we had to go the extra mile. It’s designed to look (and feel) like a GIANT piece of bubblegum. The surface texture is as close as you can get to real bubblegum without it actually being gum! If you look closely, you'll see that the pink is speckled with white accents that mimic the powder on classic gum. Even the embossing on the box is inspired by the classic GPK Cheap Toys Candy series. We’ll send out a final update when your specific order is shipped out. Until then, sit tight—Adam Bomb is almost home."


*wrapping not included.

Around 11pm CT, on February 19, 2025, Polyphony took to their social media channels to also share the update, stating, "The 15” Maestro Series | GPK Adam Bomb box looks and feels like a GIANT piece of bubblegum. It’s speckled with white accents to mimic powdered gum and textured just like real gum. We’ve even got hidden references and Easter eggs like embossing as a nod to the classic GPK Cheap Toys Candy series. This is truly a box worthy of a Polyphony Maestro Series figure experience. Adam Bomb is almost home after sailing from China, navigating the Panama Canal, and cruising up the East Coast of the USA! Stay tuned for more updates

On February 28, 2025, Polyphony took to social media to announce their attendance of the 2025 Toy Fair, which ran from March 01 through March 04, at the Javits Center, NYC, stating, "Exclusives. All new products. Global debuts. Featuring: Casper, My Pet Monster, Teletubbies, Osamu Goods, Garbage Pail Kids… and much, much more. Booth 6058 – Drop on by!" And image of the ADAM Bomb Maestro Series can be seen dead center.





On March 01, 2025, artist JOE Simko—attending the Toy Fair for his Craniacs brand—posted two pics of several upcoming card-size sculpted figures, stating, "Some very cool and accurately 'on-model' sculpts at the Polyphony booth at Toy Fair, NYC this weekend." Sculpted figures included card characters from the OS1, OS2, OS3, OS7 & BNS2 sets.
