GPK Topps Online 2018 | Garbage Pail Kids World

On January 5th, 2018,
at the beginning of the New Year, the Topps company started to release
another installment of their exclusive online brand of Garbage Pail
Kids cards as specialized product. This marks their third consecutive
year to offer a slew of unique online material to the masses inbetween
their larger retail releases that tends to caters to a much smaller
niche of collectors. Artist Joe Simko retired from online submissions
in 2017, so his work will only be found within the retail releases going
forward for the GPK brand; this did not last forever, mind you.

Topps employee COLIN Walton was the editor, art director, and writer
for the retail and online releases and MARK Von Ohlen was the brand
manager for the entertainment products through the online ‘Summer Comic
Convention’ set and the ‘Oh, the Horror-ible!’ retail set, respectively.
Art direction changed hands by the third quarter.

All ideas for the Golden
Groan Awards set was conceptualized by the Topps NPD Dept. prior
to the week of release, except for the Game of Thrones parody created
by artist BRENT Engstrom. The Topps concepts, including his own, were
all fleshed out by Engstrom three days prior to the release and the
four characters he painted were completed the two days leading up to
the Friday release date. The other two tight concepts were originally
both supposed to be given to artist David Gross to execute for that
same time period, but the Twin Peaks piece was, unfortunately, given
to JUNGWHA Im to finish. The set includes tribute pieces to sets OS1,
OS2 and OS4.

The
set includes the first tight-pencil artwork used as the final artwork
on card for The Shammys online release
with concept and drawing by artist BRENT Engstrom. A regular, tight-rough
concept was produced for the piece along with a final card mock-up image.
The artwork was due the morning of Janaury 26th, but not posted until
the 29th, which would’ve given the aritsts three additional days to
complete the artwork, non-rushed.

Some
big GPK hitters like DAVID Gross and BRENT Engstrom submitted Valentine’s
Day concepts into Topps too late in the game during the month
of February and the entire set had been cohesively completed by artist
Miran Kim using tribute pieces for the holiday release. Several of Gross’
concepts not found within the set are displayed below for the following
subjects and suggested nomenclature: Valentine’s Card and pencil prize
with the names Valentine’s DANA, BEA Mine, Be MINA, KITTY Card and VALENTINA

Artist Smokin’ JOE completed
four of the five GPK characters and Wacky Packages products for the
Easter set released the last week in March.
McWilliams had this to say about the timeline: “Wrote gags (11
total Wacky and GPK) on the March 24 and 25 weekend… submitted for
that Monday March 26. Received 4 approvals Monday afternoon… with
a Thursday 8 am NY time delivery deadline. Painted like crazy until
Wednesday night (March 28) and sent in my art scans so they would be
waiting in Topps’ email Thursday morning. They went Live on the Topps
site that same day.” The PAAS-esque bunny has a bit of blood added
to the leg jaw-trap as seen in the social media card mock-up image.
The Leaky LINDSAY-like dress of the Cadbury-esque head character had
her hand turned for the final artwork.

Topps celebrated the
new R&R Hall of Fame inductees by releasing a Hall
of Lame parody set in April of 2018. An email went out to all
artists the last week in March for concepts to be turned in; Gross responded
same-day and five of his concepts were approved, the three he painted
were completed on March 29th before the weekend and, due to time restraints,
two concepts were given to artist Brent Engstrom to complete which were
finished on the 29th and 30th of that month.

As seen with the card mock-up image by Gross of cards 1a CANDY Oh No!
and 1b Cramped CARLA who has over-indulged, the ‘Candy-O’ album by The
Cars also inspired artist Neil Camera to work on a tribute piece on
a blank IDW GPK comic posted to social media on March 31st: “A
little weekend GPK project I painted in honor of The Cars finally getting
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame”, where the character dents
the hood and flattens the tire. Also pictured is the tight pencil by
artist Brent Engstrom for card #2 that shows the neck and headstock
of the guitar not hidden by the GPK header; Engstrom extended the vibrato
mechanism for the final artwork to humorously go up the character’s
nostril. The character was advertised with a rare C-name for card 2c
Brothers In ARMIE but the card was never issued within the set once
printed.

At the end of February,
2018, Topps begain to release their 80th Anniversary Wrapper
Art online, three titles every Tuesday. The third week of April
collectors had the opportunity to purchase either a #23 card at $7.99
(SKU: ART-CCKB16-18T80A-023), a small poster at $19.99 (SKU: ART-POSCCKB-18T80A-023),
or the $99.99 gold edition 1/1 poster (SKU: ART-POSCCKB-18T80A-023G);
all with a wonky re-created header. Sales pitch: “This year, Topps
is excited to celebrate its 80th Anniversary with exclusive trading
cards that takes collectors on a unique journey through history. As
we celebrate generations worth of pop culture and sports, we are paying
tribute to the first image people see of a product: the wrapper. More
than packaging, the wax packs served to advertise the product as it
sat on store counters and shelves around the country. The incredible
artwork serves as a reminder of one’s childhood and a lasting memory
of 80 incredible years of Topps!” The anniversary ran until November
20th with a banner stating online ‘Final Week’, ‘Plus Additional Checklist
Card!’ #115 that had the GPK moniker.

For the 4th
of July card 3a, the nomenclature was spelled ‘LIEF Guard’ on
the website and ‘LIEF Gaurd’ on the card image, it should actually be
spelled ‘LEIF Guard’; this was corrected for the printed card. For some
unknown reason, all of the artwork was completed by a Wacky Packages
artist.

The artwork for the
Summer Comic Convention set was entirely
painted by artist JungHwa Im; however, half of the concepts came from
new concepts by Engstrom, Gross and Simko and the other half were based
off of OS artwork by John Pound. Artist Brent Engstrom suggested the
names Supper MARIO (used) and ’16 Bit BRENT’ (‘MIT’ used instead) for
card #3, and artist David Gross recommended the nomenclature of Dreary
DARIA (used), ‘Dry DARIA’, ‘Acerbic ANGELA’, and ‘MORGAN Dorfer’ (‘Dorker’
used instead) for card #4. Gross suggested the names CAMERON Planet
(used), Earth DAYTON (used) and ‘Litter BUD’ for card #7, and Engstrom
recommended the nomenclature of ‘PAT Dog’ and ‘OWEN Worst Enemy’ for
card #9.

The On-Demand Set #9
GPK Memes, a Topps.com exclusive, like
the last online Wacky Packages release, contained parallel chase cards
to collect. The set configuration included the ten A-names, the ten
B-names and five parallel chase cards per set for a total of twenty-five
cards; one C-name, one pink parallel and three green parallel cards.
There was also the possibility of scoring a twenty-six card set with
a 1:2 chance of pulling a sketch insert card per set. NOTE: the sketch
card stock is the same as the Oh, the Horror-ible! release. The Slimy
SAM character portraying the ‘Dark Kermit’ meme was initially supposed
to have New Wave DAVE under the hood, but artist Brent Engstrom changed
it to the OS1 lizard character since it was more amphibian-like.

The GPK Memes set was conceptualized by Francis Miceli of Topps who
handles The Topps Vault sales, previously handled by Mike Jaspersen.
Artist David Gross suggested having an actual meme card without the
need of nomenclature which would get the idea across to collectors better;
having an A-name card and a B-meme card. This would have been more reminiscent
of the Giant GPK Series of yesteryears, however, Topps decided
to stick with the A and B-name cards and create a possible C-meme card
for the much-needed explanation of the subject matter, but it eventually
became a C-name chase card with suggestive nomenclature only. Artist
Smokin’ Joe McWilliams also made a few card mock-ups to help explain
the parody meme.

With their license for
Stranger Things, Topps received approval from Netflix to create
a Stranger Kids GPK parody set to release at the New York
Comic Con from October 4th through the 7th, 2018. The release, containing
twenty cards from the A-name set and twenty cards from the B-name set,
was also sold online through their website. The entire set was painted
by artist Joe Simko who autographed cards at the NYCC on Saturday, October
6th. The A-name and B-name sets contained twenty different images for
a total of 40 cards for the base card release. The NYCC also contained
four exclusive cards, three Upside Down cards; three images from the
base set cleverly turned upside down with a blue tint and slapped with
a C-name and different nameplate color, and the title/poster card. Only
one exclusive card per combo set could be obtained per purchase; a collector
would need to spend $160 at the show to complete the entire set. The
four exclusive cards were not available via online sales. A poster
ad for the release was shared to their social media channels on October
1st, 2018 to promote the release. Artist Joe Simko re-watched seasons
1 and 2 of Stranger Things on Neflix prior to starting the project.

NSU: 2018 Topps Stranger Kids mashes up a pair of ’80s worlds,
one mondern interpretation (Stranger Things) and the other, a
piece of the decade’s pop culture fingerprint (Garbage Pail Kids).
The mini set debuted at New York Comic Con a few weeks before Topps’
main Stranger Things set arrived. Stranger Kids has two
different sets of 20 cards, which are GPK interpretations of
key Stranger Things characters. The split sets come in the form
of separate but similar A/B name variations. After NYCC, sets were also
offered through the Topps website. In addition to the main set, bonus
cards were also available at NYCC. For those who bought the A and B
sets at the show, collectors got an extra card not offered through the
website. 2018 Topps Stranger Kids is fully licensed by Netflix.
Vol 29, No. 6 Dec/Jan 2019

Fun Factoids : The hallucinating cards
#8 were not supposed to have a logo or nameplate since there was one
already painted onto the final artwork; Simko mock-up. The original
tight pencil mock-up cards had a curved ‘STRANGER KIDS’ header that
was switched to the banner-style header at the last minute before printing.
Had the Matthew Modine concept not been approved due to image rights
via Netflix an alternate ‘DOUBLE DUFFER’ concept was on standby, the
OS2 tribute piece remains unpublished due to a delayed approval process;
however, an unknown number of printed cards were handed out the first
day of the NYCC and are extremely rare. Other tribute pieces include
a scene from the E.T. movie, Hopper and a chain smoking OS1 characer
by Pound, skateboarder 15a MAX Splat (‘MADRID’ on the skate deck is
the skateboard company that creates official Stranger Things
boards) that’s an OS3 concept of PAT Splat by Tom Bunk, and card 13a
Bye Bye BARB having the same milk carton as 2018S1 ’80s History subset
card 7a Milk CARLTON by Simko; pulled from the GPK Classic set, et cetera.
The character nomenclature for cards Hallucinate EIGHT and Breakfast
At ELEVEN match their corresponding card numbers, 8 and 11, respectively;
Simko’s idea, and the first unlucky victim received the unlucky 13 card
number; idea by Topps. The original Demogorgon card image was much simpler
in surroundings; Simko was asked to add Dungeon and Dragons artifacts
into the piece.
