Garbage Pail Kids - Adam Bomb Paper Toy - by Paper Foldables

Garbage Pail Kids is a series of trading cards produced by the Topps Company, originally released in 1985 and designed to parody the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls created by Xavier Roberts, which were immensely popular at the time. Each sticker card features a Garbage Pail Kid character having some comical abnormality, deformity and/or suffering a terrible fate, with a humorous, word play-rich character name such as Glandular Angela or Half-Nelson. Two versions of each card were produced, with variations featuring the same artwork but a different character name denoted by an "a" or "b" letter after the card number. The sticker fronts are die-cut so just the kid with its nameplate and the GPK logo can be peeled from the backing. Many of the card backs feature puzzle pieces to form giant nine-card murals; other back subjects vary greatly among the series, from humorous licenses and awards to comic strips and, in more recent releases, "Fakebook" profiles. 15 original series of regular trading cards were 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 fold-out posters. All-New Series sets were introduced in 2003, Flashback re-releases began in 2010, and a Brand-New Series was announced for 2012, with Brand New series 2, Chrome Original Series 1, and Brand New Series 3 following in 2013. A new format was released in 2014, using the year as the edition, followed by the release name of Series 1, which had an Olympics style format. - Wikipedia - Below, a link for some cards for the first original series, from 1985:

Original Album Cover from Brazil

Garbage Pail Kids, ou Gang do Lixo, no Brasil, é um álbum de figurinhas lançado em 1985 nos EUA e publicado por lá até os dias de hoje. Lá já há 15 séries diferentes publicadas. Com o sucesso vieram os desenhos animados e até um filme para o cinema. O desenhista original era o Tom Bunk, que para quem não sabe desenhava e roterizava para a Revista Mad, quando ela ainda era interessante.
As figurinhas eram, e ainda são nos dias de hoje, bem bizarras, nojentas e politicamente incorretas, apresentando sempre crianças em situações absurdas e ofensivas. Alguns são até fofos, mas a grande maioria simplesmente detona com as inocentes criancinhas. Todas no album são retratadas com alguma anormalidade cômica, deformidade, mutação genética ou tem um terrível destino e seus nomes são sempre trocadilhos infames relacionados a situação, tipo Tadeu Morreu, Boneca Meleca, Manolo Miolo e Sandro Malandro. Em 1990 o album foi lançado no Brasil e devidamente boicotado por diversas mães ofendidas. Nos Estados Unidos há clubes de trocas de figurinhas e objetos relacionados e continua relevante na cultura pop e nerd americana até hoje. Abaixo, dois links para o album lançado no Brasil, infelizmente nenhum dos dois completos, mas você pode ter uma boa idéia do que era a "Gang do Lixo".
