It is interesting to note the non-registered
TM™
Symbol, no registered trademark symbol ®, on
the header next to the ‘Bukimi Kun’ logo; this symbol has not been seen on a card
front since the OS1 (Original Series 1, aka 1st Series) GPK release back
in 1985.

As far as recent Garbage Pail Kids releases go, the Bukimi Kun set only contains
two chaseable (or collectable)
Parallel Sets;
the black parallel cards, found almost one per pack, and a gold parallel card,
only found one per box. Like the U.S. counterparts, a very difficult parallel
set to complete (or collate).

—
The new cards, like the old Bukimi Kun release, have No
Card Backs, per se. The new set have no stickers and are printed on card
stock only. The old set was printed on very thinner card stock and intended to
be pasted or glued down into a sticker album. There is no album for the new set.

—
Both the original and new Bukimi Kun release can be found with the iconic green
Bukimi Kun logo as well as the blue logo; however, like the counterpart card within
the 2014 Series 1 GPK set, cards 18a and 18b can be found with the Gray
Header and nameplate that goes along with character humor.

—
An Artist Autograph card or a Printing
Plate could be located, one or the other, per box. Whichever artist worked
on the artwork for the card front signed the card; since Tom Bunk only completed
one piece of final artwork for the set, for cards 58a and 58b, they are the only
Bunk character with an autograph for the set.

—
The set was discussed as potentially being the Series 1 through Series 3 (Original
Series 1, 2 and 3) compiled Original GPK Sets in
Bukimi Kun-style instead of the 2014 Series 1 release, but the idea scrapped due
to the U.S. GPK OS2 Chrome set being released the summer right afterwards.

—
Both, Joe Simko and Mark Pingitore completed new artwork for the Bukimi Kun set
as Bonus Cards. The artwork was completed at the
same time as the Brand New Series 3 GPK set in 2013, the extra, or additional
images found their way later into the BNS Mini (online exclusive) and Bukimi Kun
(online exclusive) sets. Below is a card image for Joe Simko’s vampire GPK for
cards B1a and B1b and final artwork by Mark Pingitore for cards B2a and B2b.

Two Bukimi Kun Ads as seen on the Topps Store online;
the top ad as seen on the Garbage Pail Kids Facebook page as the cover photo and
the bottom ad as seen on the Topps Store that rotated as one of the Topps entertainment
releases.

The set contains both A & B-Name Cards, unlike
the original Bukimi Kun set that contained only one image for each character.
The new set also does not contain a sticker album for the (mainly) blank backed
cards.
