Kids Pail Trash is a series of trading cards produced by the Topps Company, originally released in 1985 and designed to parodize the popular Puppies dolls of the time.
Each sticker card displays Garbage Trash characters that have some funny deformities, deformities, and/or suffered bad luck with the names of funny word characters like Adam Bomb or Blasted Billy. Two versions of each card are produced, with variations featuring the same artwork but different character names represented by the letter "a" or "b" after the card number. The front of the sticker is cut into pieces so only the child with the nameplate and the GPK logo can be peeled from the backing. Many of the backs of the cards have puzzle pieces that form giant murals while other flip-side subjects vary greatly among series, ranging from funny licenses and awards to comics and, in the latest release, the "Facebook" profile.
Fifteen original series ("OS") of regular trading cards released in the United States, with various sets released in other countries. Two large format card editions were also released, as well as a set of folding posters. The All-New Series (ANS) series was introduced in 2003, the Flashback re-release began in 2010, and Brand-New Series (BNS) was announced for 2012 with Brand New 2, Chrome OS1, and BNS3 series after 2013. A new format released in 2014 using years to designate editions, followed by the release of Series 1, which has an Olympic-style format. In 2016, the format was changed again into a themed theme that forged different pop culture topics.

Histori
The series is the brainchild of the consultant Topps and the artist Pulitzer Prize winner Art Spiegelman who came up with the product idea after the success of his previous creations, Garbage Candy and Wacky Packages. The concept originally started as an unreleased Wacky Package title, but management at Topps thought it would be a good idea for a separate spin-off series. Spiegelman and fellow cartoonist Mark Newgarden work together as an editor and art director of the project, Len Brown is his manager, and the first card made specifically by artist John Pound. They were first issued in 1985. Following the early success of the card, several additional artists and writers were brought in to contribute to the series, including Jay Lynch, Tom Bunk, and James Warhola, among others.

International version
The cards are also known as "Bukimi Kun" [" ????? ", Mr. Creepy] in Japan, "The Garbage Gang" in the Australian and New Zealand versions, " La Pandilla Basura " [The Garbage Gang] in Spanish, "Ha-haevel Hour" [" ???????? ", "The Garbage Gang"] in Israel, " "[Trashlings] in Latin America,"
Variations
Smaller card formats released in Australia and New Zealand. Each package contains three stickers and a "peel here" arrow pointing to the upper left area because there is no die-cut scoring. Originally in New Zealand the 6th series of Garbage Pail Kids was released as a market test (this version is a mixture of the United States 6 and 7 series). After this success, Series 1 was released in Australia and New Zealand known as "The Garbage Gang" and is identical to the United States (though smaller) version. The first series was released in Australia and New Zealand in 1989 with different versions: Australian stickers are darker, have different banners, and some names are changed to reflect cultural differences. From Series 2 onwards, the same version was released in Australia and New Zealand. Series 4 is the last release of "The Garbage Gang".
Commercial success
The commercial success of trading cards led to the production of live-action film, The Garbage Pail Kids Movie, in 1987. An animated television series was also created, but its initial scheduled broadcast in the US. postponed due to parental complaints. The show made short appearances on US television years after originally intended for air and also aired briefly in Europe. The film was released on DVD by MGM Home Entertainment on July 12, 2005 (original VHS has been distributed by Paramount), and the cartoon series was subsequently released on DVD by CBS Home Entertainment on April 4, 2006 (with distribution by Paramount). A set of 160 trading cards called Sloppy Sloppy was released in Italy in 1993.
Controversy and lawsuit
School ban
During the peak of the popularity of the card series, Garbage Trash Children are banned in many schools. One of the main reasons for the ban is that teachers refer to them as a nuisance in the classroom.
Trademarks copyright infringement
Topps was sued by Cabbage Patch Kids maker Coleco for trademark infringement. As part of an out-of-court settlement, Topps agrees to modify the appearance of Kids Pail Sampah to remove similarities between characters, and to change logo design. The production of the card itself continued, but by 1988 sales had shrunk and its 16th plan had never been produced.
All-new Series
In 2003, Topps reintroduced the Kids Trash Pail with new artwork, dubbed the All-New Series ("ANS"). ANS1 consisted mostly of artwork intended for release in the 1980s, but ANS2 2004 featured new concepts. A unique number on the back of a silver and gold-foil insert card can be redeemed online at the Official Pail Trash Children website where visitors build and "loot" their own Trash Can Kids; because the number of unique code numbers applied to characters increases, the more that number. Less than six months later, ANS3 was released.
In 2005, Topps celebrated the 20th anniversary of the GPK franchise with original art inserts "Sketch Card" specifically for its ANS4 set. This is limited to one randomly inserted card per exclusive hobby box (available only from specialty retailers) and displays original artwork by a fixed subscription of John Pound, Tom Bunk and Jay Lynch, as well as guest artists Strephon Taylor, John Czop, Don Perlin , and Justin Green. Despite the regular series with more than 35 paintings, Luis Diaz was not involved in sketch cards due to previous financial disputes with Topps from the previous year.
In 2006, ANS5 was released with 40 more new children (each with twin a/b), followed by ANS6 in early 2007. January 2008 saw the release of ANS7 which expanded the bases set to 55 new characters and was the last set to display the works new art until the Series 1 Flashback Series 2010 of six previously unpublished children.
The ANS cards are different from the original series ("OS") in some way, the most obvious is the quality improvement of card stocks with shiny protective surfaces. The ANS release also changes the card numbering format: the OS card uses sustainable numbering patterns so each new set will take the last place over (eg OS1 ends at 41a/b and OS2 gets picked up at 42a/b while ANS resets the numbering back to 1a/b with each next release). Each ANS also features a special "chase card" that is randomly included in the package; for example, foil cards show characters from the original series (with modified artwork), "Scratch 'n Stink" cards, collection card game cards, temporary Tattoos, 3D pop-up cards, alphabet cards, activity cards, magnets, cards lenticular "Loco Motion", and jigsaw die-cut puzzle cards, along with special bonus cards that are only available at participating retailers either in "bonus boxes" or rack-packages; This bonus sticker is the first card that does not have twin sets.
Flashback re-release
Topps released the 25th anniversary of "Flashback" set on February 24, 2010, featuring reprints of characters from the original 1985-87 GPK series (eight each from OS1 to OS8) plus six previously unpublished "missing" characters and 10 "Where They Are Now" The cards show the classic GPK being drawn as it will appear today. Packages containing randomly-entered search cards include Lenticular Loco Motion, authentic plates, four parallel levels, and hand-drawn artist sketches by pop culture artists including Layron DeJarnette, Brent Engstrom, Dave Gross, Mark Pingitore, Joe Simko, Colin Walton, Fred Wheaton, Jeff Zapata, and veteran GPK artists Tom Bunk and Jay Lynch.
A second set of Flashbacks was released on February 23, 2011, with 65 reprint OSs from series 1 to 9 plus five more "lost" kids, 10 new "Where They Are Now" cards, five 3D cards (resembling holograms but in full color )), unique artist sketches, and 10 "Adam Mania" cards featuring variants of the Adam Bomb iconic mushroom clouds, plus a parallel base and set of Adam Mania.
The GPK Flashback Series 3 was followed on November 2, 2011, with 65 reprints of OS, four "lost" children, 10 "WatN?" cards, five 3D cards, 10 Adam Mania cards, artist sketches, and parallels.
Topps recently released a book featuring the first five series. The cover describes the package from the first series released in 1985. Each card is displayed with the name "a" and the name "b" in the bottom corner of the page.
Brand-new Series
In 2012, Topps announced it will restart the Garbage Pail Kids franchise with new characters and content themes that are more reminiscent of the original 1980s series in a set called "Brand-New Series 1" (BNS1). The set was released on October 24, 2012. BNS1 features 55 new GPK characters, a reality TV subset, motion cards, mix n 'match stickers, parallels, artist sketch cards, and code cards that can be exchanged with the opportunity to be painted as GPKs at BNS next. BNS2 was released in March and featured 55 new characters plus 18 newly introduced characters plus lenticular cards, glowing in dark cards and folded cards. In contrast to all new series and such an old series set the BNS numbering continues where the previous series ended. They have now announced that there will be BNS3 released in mid-October, after the release of the chrome edition in August.
Chrome Series
In October 2013, Topps re-released the original 1 series as a metallic chromium set containing all 41 children plus 14 unpublished characters.
On July 30, 2014, Topps re-released the original series in 1985 2 sets plus 13 characters back from the 2 character series that has been reorganized in the previous garbage bucket set as a chromium card. Chrome cards are thicker than real cards and not stickers.
Series 1 2014
Topps released a series of all new cards with new artwork for 2014. Like older cards, this has activity on the back of the card including checklists, puzzles, and "Fakebook" profiles.
30th Birthday Series
In July 2015, Topps released its 30th Anniversary series with a 110 a/b card (220 cards total). The numbering is different from the previous series, instead of starting at 1-110a/b it has several themed subset which starts at 1 a/b each with subset into checklist cards featuring variations of Adam Bomb 1-2a/b including Adam Bomb "Don 't Push My Button' displays the classic GPK character of the Adam Bom button 1-10a/b, "Artistic Impression" displays historical art as a 1-10.1/b GPK character, "Artistic Interpretation" featuring characters drawn by guest artist 1- 5a/b, "Comic Book Cover" featuring art from comic book 1-7a/b, "Floor Cutting Room" features rejected concept 1-5a/b, "Pail Kids Kids' Trash" features children classic GPK characters 1 -10a/b, "Garbage Pail Pets" featuring animals as a trash bucket of children 1-10a/b, "Waste Garbage President" featuring 10 former US presidents as Children's Trash Garbage 1-10a/b, "Lost Original Art "featuring the original GPK painting classic that has never been on publish 1-6a/b, "Zoom Out" with Ks enlarged GP feature shows what happened in background 1-10a/b, and "'80s Spoofs" which featured a parody of popular things in the 1980s 1-25a/b.
Annual themed series
After the 30th anniversary series, Topps started using a new formula that composes each series with an overall theme divided into subsets focusing on a particular topic. In January 2016, "American as Apple Pie in Your Face" put the GPK in a situation that parodied American culture. The second series of 2016 was followed in April called "Prime Slime Trashy TV" with humor taking on popular television shows. The first series for the year 2017 is the "Adam-geddon" January that puts Kids's Trash Can (including some classics) in a dangerous late-night scenario. Topps announced that the second series for 2017 will arrive in October and become the "Battle of the Bands" caricature of popular musical acts and album covers.
