The All New Series 1 (ANS1) EKEL-KIDS Album Sticker set was published
in the late fall of 2004 by Topps Europe Ltd. (Merlin Stickers) and
released throughout Germany. A total of 1 print run was released during
a resurrection of the 80’s nostalgic GPK period in the U.S. with new
releases. The German album series is comprised of 192 images from the
New 1st U.S. series, the New 2nd U.S. series, and several images from
the original, later GPK releases without any A-name or B-name twin cards.
The set is an exact replica of the All New 1st U.K. Series Sticker Album
Set except for the title and names are in German. The set contains 181
regular and foil stickers along with 11 poster stickers that are placed
on poster taken from the album. Each paper pack contained 4 stickers
and 1 foil card. The size of the stickers are larger than the earlier
Die Total Kaputtan Kids album series release. This set contains cards
almost the same size (2.5 x 3.5 in) as the U.S. release. Similar sticker
albums were also released in France, Scandinavia (minus Norway), as
well as Russia.
