Australia The Garbage Gang Series 1 | Garbage Pail Kids World

Â
THE GARBAGE GANG : AUSTRALIA

The Garbage Gang
Australia Series 1 set was released in 1989 after the success of the Garbage
Pail Kids in the U.S. and in the UK territories and a GPK test run
in 1988.Â The set is almost visually identical to the U.S. and UK GPK sets
from which it as reproduced, except for one name change. The release is different
from the New Zealand Series 1 set due to its numerous card back variations, contains
a banner-style header and only the one aforementioned name change. The Australia
1st Series box has the ‘REGINA‘ logo on it instead of the
‘TOPPS‘ logo which the New Zealand 1st Series box has.Â The
remaining three releases, Series 2, Series 3 and Series 4 are identical for the
New Zealand and Australia territories, except for some packaging differences.
The United Kingdrom Garbage Pail Kids 6th Series set, made up of the OS6
and OS7 U.S. sets, was test ran in New Zealand and is believed to have been used
in the initial release of both the Australia and New Zealand 1st Series where
UK GPK Series 6 cards can be found in the NZ [The] Garbage Gang
packs.

1. Cards 12a Furry FRAN and 12b Hairy MARY have a red Header unlike the U.S. and UK GPK versions that have a pink banner due to reproduction of these sets to cover the old banner and using the new banner-style header. ~
~ ~
2. Cards 18a Cranky FRANKIE and 18b Bad BRAD have a red Header with a white surrounding unlike the yellow border color of the U.S., UK, French and NZ sets that helps dissociate the white background of the card. ~
~ ~
3. A banner-style [The] Garbage Gang Header is used; the same as the UK [The] Garbage Gang and the U.S. OS10 through OS15 GPK sets. After the U.S. lawsuit the curved header could no longer be used in production of the cards. ~
~ ~
4. Although a reproduction of the U.S. images and UK/NZ cards, there is only one nomenclature Name Change for the release compared to the U.S. cards; the name change from 37b CINDY Lopper to 37b HEDDA Offa. ~
~ ~
5. A white Checklist is used on the reverse card back instead of the nostalgic yellow color. ~
~ ~
6. The Dirty Rat Award title on the backside of cards 25a, 26a and 26b show up in black Title Text as seen below on the uncut sheet, reverse card back side. The U.S. version appears in the regular red title color. ~
~ ~
7. The complete uncut Sheet, front side and reverse card back side, showcasing all 132 variation cards submitted by NZ collector Gregg Hewitt. The bottom forty-four images have been placed on the sheet upside down causing the back side images to be flipped for these particular cards, and subsequently for the variations backs. ~

8.Â There are no box or wrapper codes used on the Packaging; not including the test wrapper with UK cards located within the packs. ~
