and ADAM Bomb are Trademarks of the Topps Company,
Inc. For the Sgorbions and UK releases the product is affiliated with Topps Europe
Limited and Merlin Collections.

— The MiniKins
are based off of the popular Cheap Toys that were
released in 1986 during the Garbage Pail Kids 3rd series. The set depicts 10 various
characters from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd series GPK card sets in monochromatic colors. They
were packaged in a green plastic ‘garbage’ bag with a twisty tie and containted
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, (flesh)
pink, orange or yellow colors. Though variations of these colors do exist;
such as neon-like colors. A set was also released in the UK with the same characters
but with a different box design. Two sets were released in Canada and manufactured
by Nova BonBon, the first set having the same characters as the U.S. and UK sets
and the second series containing ten different figurines that came in either green,
blue, red, or yellow monochromatic colors. The international candy had a better
taste that similar to the U.S. Topps Garbage Candy with shapes such as fish, bones,
etc. The second series set depicted various characters from the OS3 and OS4 GPK
card sets as listed within the checklist below. More information and images can
be located within the OS section under Cheap Toys.

Every pack and mini figure comes with a
1.5 x 1.75 sticker with a Mini Character Bio on the
backside; all text on the reverse sticker was written by Pat Barrett and Colin
Walton.
