The All-New Series 7 Garbage Pail Kids, aka ANS7 GPK for short, was released in the winter of 2007 by the Topps Company, Inc. and distributed in December of that year; eleven months after the ANS6 set. The series is comprised of all new artwork by veteran artists John Pound, Tom Bunk and reverse and insert card artwork by Jay Lynch. This set also includes next-generation GPK artists Brent Engstrom, Luis Diaz, David Gross, Layron DeJarnette, Ray Lago, Neil Camera (insert and reverse card artwork) and newcomers Fred Harper and Richard Clark. The set includes conceptual artwork by art director Jeff Zapata, Mark Pingitore, Fred Wheaton, Mark MacAulay, supervising editor John Williams, various artists listed above, and Colin Walton who animated all of the Motion cards. A total of two main production runs were released during a continued interest of old 80's nostalgic toys and hobbies during this period which included product for both hobby and retail stores. For the first print run each new MEGA pack, with a suggested retail price of $1.99, contains 10 stickers on 14 card stock and a chance to come across an Activity card (aka Action Punch-Out card; inserted 1:4), a Motion card (aka Flix-Pix card; inserted 1:8), a Pop-Up card (inserted 1:6) or a Jig-Saw Puzzle card (inserted 1:6). The set also contains six Bonus cards that can be found in special value priced boxes and blister packs that are located at different retail chains.

1. The Naming Panel for the ANS7 set consisted of Jeff Zapata, Dave Gross and Brent Engstrom. Pictured below is the B1 Leaky LESLIE bonus card sketch by art director Jeff Zapata based off of the original concept by Mark Pingitore, showcasing the potential other twin name for the character. This image was given to newcomer GPK artist Fred Harper to complete for the set. ![]() ~ |
||
~ ~ |
||
2. Veteran GPK artist John Pound contributed fifteen final artwork pieces for the ANS7 set including several of his own concepts. Pound's preliminary artwork at the tight pencil stage tends to stay consistent through to the final artwork with little revisions since preliminary thumbnail drawings have not been available to the public. The pencil and color rough examples are for cards 32a Abandoned ANDY and 32b Cast Away JAY. ![]() ![]() ~ |
||
~ ~ |
||
3. Veteran
GPK artist Tom Bunk contributed three final artwork pieces for
the ANS7 set including a leftover ANS6 unpublished concept for bonus
card B3 that was created in October of 2006. Pictured below are the
color rough variations created by Bunk before starting on the final
artwork. All three pieces were planned to be bonus cards but the first
two were placed within the set instead; the B1 bonus card by Fred Harper
was intended to be card number 24 and the B2 bonus card by Luis Diaz
was intended to be card number 33 within the set but removed.
![]() ![]() Cards 24a Killer WALLY and 24b Chum CHARLIE NOTE: the whale looks less like a dolphin, a tongue is added and 'SeaWorld' kept on the character's hat for the final artwork. ![]() ![]() Cards 33a Wash JOSH and 33b HANS Soap NOTE: 'Natural' and 'Pest Control' added to the soap dispenser, the human hand lowered and 'Tom's' added to the toothpaste tube for the final artwork. ![]() ![]() Card B3 Lock Mess REX NOTE: 'Loch Ness' monster added, skunk and rabbit replaced with a dog and mouthpiece added to the character's gob cavity for the final artwork. ~ |
||
~ ~ |
||
4. Next-gen GPK artist Brent Engstrom contributed a staggering number of twenty-five paintings for the ANS7 set; nineteen from his own concepts and six from various other's concepts. Engstrom previously completed two published final artwork pieces for ANS5 and six final artwork pieces for ANS6. This was a pinnacle release for the artist, taking the forefront of having the most paintings published for the set, having promotional and packaging explosure for both box and wrapper, characters chosen for card back puzzles and opening the set with the #1 card spot. Among other roughs below are the original artwork for the unpublished ANS6 piece for card number 51 and the painting for bonus card B6 GEORGE Clowny which was painted for the ANS5 set but unpublished; it was based off of a 2005 concept piece by Mark Pingitore (pictured further below) and touched-up for the ANS7 release. ~ |
||
![]() Cards 1a TY Dee Knot and 1b Ty DEE Knot NOTE: male and femail positions flip-flopped and hearts removed for the final artwork; originally intended for the artist's personal wedding invitations and not for the set. ~ |
![]() Cards 3a Offense SPENCE and 3b Rebound ROY NOTE: trees replaced player to establish heighth, eyes re- positioned and basketball emblem changed to ADAM Bomb; per Engstrom, the neck was created to look like an inner tube hole. ~ |
|
![]() Cards 7a DREW Drool and 7b Flood TED NOTE: swimming animal removed, floater in doorway added, symbolic skull and crossbones added to T-shirt, chalkboard in background added and water level appears over the GPK banner for the final artwork; suggested nomeclature reversed. ~ |
![]() Cards 9a Deodor BRENT and 9b Roll On ROB NOTE: character changed to a deodorant applicator, product became a 'Speed Stick' parody and armpit hair reduced for the final artwork; per Engstrom, the original product name was 'Spit Stick'. ~ |
|
![]() Cards 20a PETER Puker and 20b Web Head NED NOTE: alley scene added, 'Daily Puker' newspaper added with Spider Man 3 review and Doc OC added to background; per Engstrom, the portrait of twin brother located on newspaper. ~ |
![]() Cards 51a BILLY Bling and 51b GIL Grill NOTE: necklace changed around for the final artwork, glasses added over the character's eyes and pinky fingers extended, extra bling added to the teeth (piercings, diamonds, etc.) for the final artwork. ~

5. The character image for cards 44a Breakin' BRANDON and 44b BUSTER Move, which contains other 80's nostalgic interests such as He-Man, Optimus Prime and breakdancing, was originally the promotional material for the 2007 Kickin' It Old Skool film; a postcard was distributed out at the screening. The movie stars Jamie Kennedy in which the parody name 'Maime KENNEDY' stems from for the promo image; the artwork was later worked into the ANS7 release. The concept was created by artist David Gross and the character painted by artist Brent Engstrom; the only thing Engstrom really changed from Gross' concept was replacing the 'New COKE' pop can with an OS1 ADAM Bomb card. ![]() ![]() ~ |
||
~ ~ |

6. Next-gen GPK
artist Luis Diaz completed four final artwork pieces for the
ANS7 set all based off of concepts created by artist Mark Pingitore
for cards 19a Ice COLE and 19b Stuck
BUCK (pictured below), 22a DAVID Choppin'
Squeal and 22b TODD Da! and 26a
Waft WYATT and 26b Windy
WENDEL including the bonus card B2 CARL
Wreck (pictured below). This is a huge drop in the number of
paintings for Diaz; the inability of meeting deadlines are rumored to
have been an issue for Topps.
![]() Cards 19a Ice COLE and 19b Stuck BUCK NOTE: worker's hat, light fixture, kid holding lightbulb and background all added for the final artwork. ![]() B2 CARL Wreck NOTE: image changed to a horizontal position, perspective slightly changed and street sign added for the final artwork. ~ |

~ ~ |

7. The newest next-gen GPK artist Fred Harper joined the Garbage Gang and completed four final artwork pieces for the ANS7 set based off of concepts by other GPK artists. Two paintings appear within the base set while the remaining two images can be found as B1 and B5 bonus cards. Unfortunately, we see only one additional painting by Harper in 2014, seven years later; I would've liked to have seen Harper used more to see what kind of work he would have created for the GPK brand. Per the art director, Jeff Zapata, the artwork may appear too realistic and detail is often lost when reduced down to trading card size. ![]() Cards 37a Extra CHRISTIE and 37b Chick KEN NOTE: painting in progress color rough, more oil added to tablecloth, steam and cripsy skin appearance added for the final artwork. ![]() Cards 39a Sub MAUREEN and 39b Diver DON NOTE: additional sea bed environment added, fish changed to a crab and ribcage covered by the nameplate for the final artwork. ![]() Card B1 Leaky LESLIE NOTE: polka-dots removed from shirt, bow size increased, eyeball changed location, more water added to ground and wall extended to the right for the final artwork. ~ |

~ ~ |

8. Next-gen GPK artist Layron DeJarnette completed four final artwork pieces for the ANS7 set; all images were completed digitally, no final artwork for these pieces exist. Topps only allowed digital artwork for a very short period for GPK; it went back to 100% paintings soon thereafter. DeJarnette's paintings are based off of concepts by Mark Pingitore for cards 23a Gator ABE and 23b We WINNIE and 28a Glass Blow JOE and 28b Gas-Blowin' OWEN, both pictured below, Fred Wheaton's concept for cards 36a Car JACK and 36b Scrap Heath and David Gross' concept for cards 45a MANUEL Labor and 45b LANDON Scaping, pictured below. ![]() ![]() ![]() ~ |
||
~ ~ |
||
9. The final artwork by Layron DeJarnette for cards 36a Car JACK and 36b Scrap Heath pays accolades to several creators behind GPK and Tribute to some fan websites as well. Art director, Jeff Zapata had DeJarnette add all of these names to the concept piece created by Fred Wheaton. The GPK logo covers some of the grafittied information, scrawled left to right, top to bottom: New Wave DAVE (OS1; card 30a), Wayne's GPK (Wayne's GPK reference guide site), Topps banner, GeePeeKay (Matt Oldwieler's GPK site), Jeff (for art director Jeff Zapata), John (for John Williams; supervising editor), Lay (unknown), Cool (unknown), GPK Underground (Cory Pierce's GPK fan forum site), Barren AARON (for this historical site), Layron (for DeJarnette), GPK World (for the Topps garbagepailkidworld.com old site), Ira (for Ira Friedman, VP of Topps and development for GPK), Wheaton (for Fred Wheaton, the concept artist), Renée (Fred Wheaton's wife), ADAM Bomb (OS1; card 8a). ![]() ~ |

10. Next-gen GPK artist Ray Lago completed two final artwork pieces for the ANS7 set for cards 16a Ceiling FRAN and 16b Head LES and 54a MOLLY Pop and 54b SOPHIE Sucker based off of two concepts by artist David Gross, pictured below. ![]() ![]() ~ |
||
~ ~ |
||
11. Concept GPK artist Fred Wheaton was only able to contribute three approved concepts for the ANS7 GPK set due to his extremely busy schedule while completing concept pieces and final artwork images for both Hollywood Zombies and ANS6 Wacky Packages sets for Topps. Pictured below are the three ideas conceptualized by Wheaton and created in the months of August and September of 2007 that were eventually painted by other artists. ![]() Cards 14a Coral CARSON and 14b CORA Reef NOTE: reef shark replaced with a hammerhead shark, legs added, barnacle fingers added and crab changed to pinching finger for the final artwork; 'Barnacle BILLY' suggest nomenclature not used. ![]() Cards 37a Extra CHRISTIE and 37b Chick KEN NOTE: KFC bucket layout and mascot chnaged, 'GPK' acronym changed on the container and more steam added to the character; 'Kentucky Fried CLYDE' + 'Finger Lickin' GORD' suggested names not used. ![]() ![]() Cards 36a Car JACK and 36b Scrap HEATH Concept Sketch and Tight Pencil Artwork NOTE: leg and arm bones sticking out of body removed and replaced with DeJarnette's signature doll-limb attachments, lump on head and bruised body reduced for the final artwork; 'Stripped KIP' suggested nomenclature not used. ~ |
||
~ ~ |
||
12. Next-gen GPK artist newcomer Richard Clark completed one final artwork piece for the ANS7 set for cards 15a Prime NATE and 15b Sim IAN based off of a Mark Pingitore concept, pictured below. Clark also worked on the Hollywood Zombies set for Topps and was tested for GPK. ![]() ~ |
||
~ ~ |
||
13. Concept GPK artist Mark Pingitore contibuted eleven gruesome artwork pieces for the ANS7 set painted by several other artists. Ten of these concepts can be found within the base set while one is a unpublished ANS5 piece completed by Brent Engstrom that made it as a bonus card. Art director Jeff Zapata had Pingitore test out painting one of his concepts, pictured below, but the concept was later handed off to artist Brent Engstrom to execute. Pingitore went on to paint many GPK card images for future sets released by the Topps company. ![]() Test painting for cards 48a DEL Icious and 48b Licked VIC NOTE: the cookie top contains the letter 'G' for 'GPK' rather than the 'O' for the Oreo parody. ![]() ![]() ![]() Cards 31a Lyin' RYAN and 31b Tall Tale TIM NOTE: nose stabbed through head with brain matter instead of the chest cavity with heart and Giminy Cricket gag added to the final artwork. ~ |
||
![]() Cards 33a Wash JOSH and 33b HANS Soap NOTE: blood and guts replaced with snot and bugs and the perspective of the image changed for the final artwork. ~ |
![]() Cards 38a Drum KIT and 38b Tom TOM NOTE: drum sitting on the floor, kid straddlign drum and background 'Osaka' band members added to the final artwork. ~ |
|
![]() Card B1 Leaky LESLIE NOTE: fountain made more abstract, kid drowning and eye added to the water for the final artwork. ~ |
![]() Card B6 GEORGE Clowny NOTE: hat added to the clown, pie victim added to the backround and animals added to the foreground. ~ |
|
~ ~ |

14. Veteran GPK artist Jay Lynch was commisioned by Topps to create the special insert cards; the Action Punch Outs (Activity cards) and the Lenticular Loco Motion (or Flix-Pix) cards. The Loco Motion cards were animated by Topps in-house artist Colin Walton. Lynch completed the final artwork himself for the aforementioned insert cards with assistance by Neil Camera working in Photoshop to color them. Jay Lynch also worked on all of the 'WANTED' posters and 'ID' card back concepts and Neil Camera completed all of the final artwork. Camera used colored markers to create the color for the backs; unfortunately, Topps did not use the colored artwork for all of the card backs. Pictured below are the WANTED poster final and rough artwork for card 42a WANTED for Motor Oil Theft: Tusky TIFFANY by Camera and Lynch, respetively. ![]() ![]() ~ |
||
~ ~ |
||
15. Next-gen GPK and Wacky Packages artist Neil Camera worked on the insert and card-back artwork for the ANS7 set along with veteran artist Jay Lynch. Camera rendered the reverse card-back artwork in color markers but most of the card backs ended up being a monotone color instead. Camera also submitted a card front concept, pictured below, that was not accepted for the release which may have been completed in 2005 considering the 'GPK05' license plate on the vehicle. ![]() ~ |
||
~ ~ |

16. Next-gen
Wacky Packages and GPK artist David Gross, who
contributed to the last ANS5 and ANS6 sets with several concept pieces
painted by other artists and himself, submitted thirteen new gory concepts
with eleven being accepted for the ANS7 set and Gross having painted
three of the artwork pieces himself; a sample of these concepts are
pictured below.
![]() Cards 24a Killer WALLY and 24b Chum CHARLIE NOTE: character not in a wetsuit, torn off arm turned sideways, more space added and different water effect; painted by artist Tom Bunk. ![]() Cards 34a WILLIE Of Fortune and 34b NICHOLAS Caged NOTE: closer view of hamster wheel, rat-like rodent changed to a hamster and character centered for the final artwork; painted by Pound. ![]() Cards 49a TYLER Tilt and 49b Pinball WILLARD NOTE: character's face banged-up, 'ADAM Bomb' mascot added to the center of the table, GPK characters added to the bumpers and 'Topps' added to the flippers for the final artwork. ~ |

19. The official Topps Preliminary Checklist released with the press kits contain no GPK names, only TBD (to be determined); the following information was taken from the preliminary 'Card A' test sheet seen at the Philly card show convention in Allentown, PA during October 2007. Several preliminary card names were changed for the final release: 4a Knife SETH (knife set) became 4a Knifin' IVAN, 7a Deluge LOU (deluge = a great flood) became 7a DREW Drool, 12a Tangled TYLER or Mangled MANNY became 12a VINNY Son and 18a Rolled RAYMOND became 12a COOPER Pooper. ~ |
