CHEAP TOYS
INTRODUCTION
Cheap Toys were released in 1986 during the 3rd series Garbage Pail
Kids card set depicting 10 various characters from the 1st and 2nd series Garbage
Pail Kids card sets. They were packaged in a green plastic bag with a
tie, a miniature garbage bag, one toy, a checklist and different colored candy
discs (that tasted horrible). The ten figurines in the set can be found
in either green, blue, red, (fleshy) pink, orange, or yellow colors. Though
variations of these colors do exist -- such as neon-like colors.
A set was released in the United Kingdom with the same characters but with a
different box design. Two sets were released in Canada manufactured by Nova
BonBon, the first set having the same characters as the U.S. and U.K. sets,
and the second series containing ten different figurines that came in either
green, blue, red, or yellow colors. The international candy having a great taste
and similar to the U.S. Topps "Garbage Candy" with shapes such as
'fish', 'bones', etc. The second series set depicted various characters from
the 3rd and 4th series Garbage Pail Kids card sets as listed below.
