Introduction

After a long wait of nearly 10 months since the United States Garbage Pail Kids All-New Series 5 was released, Topps released the All-New Series 6.  Topps promoted the All-New Series 6 similarly to how they promoted the previous All-New Series.  Unlike the unadvertised All-New Series 5, Topps had advertised the All-New Series 6 in a few different magazines.  While promoting and advertising the series was very important, this time it was not enough to make a significant difference in sales.  This may have been due to the way they promoted the series and the magazines they chose to advertise in.  To make the product more appealing to children and to go back to Topps' involvement with candy products, Topps decided to include a flat piece of pink bubble gum in every pack of the All-New Series 6.  Putting bubble gum in every pack was similar to what Topps had done in the original Garbage Pail Kids series.  The main difference between the bubble gum from the original series and the bubble gum from the All-New Series 6 was that the All-New Series 6 bubble gum came shrink-wrapped in plastic.  The shrink-wrap prevented the bubble gum from staining and damaging the cards.  The All-New Series 6 had two relatively-easy insert card sets to collect, and that meant the cost to collect them was low, which was a huge plus to the younger collectors and those on a limited collecting-budget.  An activity card set of 12 and a magnet card set of 9 were the only two insert sets to collect for the series.  Even for young children, the activities shown on the activity cards were completely ridiculous.  Also, no collector would actually damage their activity cards just to do the activities shown on them.  Just like the All-New Series 5, the magnet card set for the All-New Series 6 unfortunately reused artwork from the original Garbage Pail Kids series.  Collectors like to see different artwork and ideas for each series because those elements help keep the product interesting.  Both of the insert card sets were very weak selling-points to the series.  There were 5 different bonus cards for the All-New Series 6, and they were not overly expensive to obtain because 3 of the 5 bonus cards came inside of the blister packs instead of the bonus boxes.  Topps lowered the number of packs in each of the blister packs from 4 to 2, which helped cut the cost to collect the blister pack bonus cards.  Another minus to series was that there still were artists who created card front artwork that was very far off from the style guide Garbage Pail Kids artist John Pound had created back in the All-New Series 5.  Even with the inconsistent card front artwork, the card front artwork for the All-New Series 6 was similar in quality to the card front artwork for the All-New Series 5.  Unfortunately, there were many character concepts for the All-New Series 6 that were the same as or similar to character concepts from previous Garbage Pail Kids series.  The All-New Series 6 appeared to have been produced in a smaller quantity than the previous All-New Series.  Still, the sales of the All-New Series 6 seemed to rate relatively fair.  After seeing the decline in interest and sales of the last few Garbage Pail Kids All-New Series, it is obvious to see that the All-New Series will not be able to continue on unless Topps made significant changes to the product and the promotion of it.

Cards and Stickers

Excluding the bubble gum, there were three different items found in the United States Garbage Pail Kids All-New Series 6 packs, and there was one additional item that could only be found in the bonus boxes and blister packs.  Topps titled the items for the series differently than what I will refer to them as.  The Stickers will be referred to as Cards, the Action Punch-Outs / Action Punch Outs will be referred to as Activity Cards, the Magnets will be referred to Magnet Cards, and the Bonus Stickers will be referred to as Bonus Cards.  I used these titles to help clarify which items I am discussing.  The cards and bonus cards are actually stickers on card backing, so I decided to continue on with the same format I had been using on the website and refer to them as cards.        I provided samples of what the cards and items of the series look like.  The first and last cards, activity cards, and magnet cards are shown above.  There also are image overviews of all of the cards, activity cards, and magnet cards.  The card checklist, activity card/magnet card checklist, the front and back of the five bonus cards, sample activity card back, sample magnet card back, and the front and back of the promo card can also be seen above.  Larger images of both sides of the activity cards can be see under the Activity Cards section on page 2.  The purpose of the samples and image overviews is to give you a preview of the series.  Higher quality images of these items will not be provided on this website or by request.        There were a total of 86 different characters (45 different paintings) in the United States Garbage Pail Kids All-New Series 6.  Tom Bunk created 9 new paintings for the series, John Cebollero created 3 new paintings for the series, Layron DeJarnette created 1 new painting for the series, Luis Diaz created 7 new paintings for the series, Brent Engstrom created 6 new paintings for the series, Dave Gross created 1 new painting for the series, and John Pound created 17 new paintings for the series.  Fred Wheaton was the only new artist to work on Garbage Pail Kids paintings, and he created 1 new painting for the series.  The characters on the activity cards were from previous Garbage Pail Kids series, but the characters were redesigned to match the activity shown on the activity cards.  Jay Lynch was the artist who created the artwork for the activity cards.  Topps used 6 of the characters Jay Lynch had sketched for the Mix & Match card backs (see Mix & Match Backs on page 2), and the paintings for those characters were done by Scott Gross.        Even though the artists were given a style guide to use, some of artists were still very inconsistent with the Garbage Pail Kids artwork style.  There were no significant improvements with the overall look of the card front artwork for the All-New Series 6 compared to the artwork for the All-New Series 5.  The artwork style still was not at the level of consistency that the original series had.  Topps previously used the inconsistent artwork for some of the insert cards because they were produced in a smaller quantity than the regular cards, but for the All-New Series 6 the inconsistent artwork was also used for the card numbers near the end of the card set.  Most Garbage Pail Kids collectors would agree that the majority of the artwork Tom Bunk created for the All-New Series was unfortunately the most inconsistent (i.e., compared to the style of the characters shown on the Garbage Pail Kids style guide) out of any of the Garbage Pail Kids artists, and this inconsistency was most likely the reason why Topps ended up using it for many of the insert cards (i.e., the bonus cards).        The print version of the All-New Series 6 was similar in quality to that of the All-New Series 5.  Even though the original paintings have bright colors and a tremendous amount of vibrancy, the print versions of the artwork appeared to look slightly dull and dark.  The original series cards were able to maintain this quality, but the All-New Series have not yet been able to.        There were first names used for new characters in the All-New Series 1, All-New Series 2, All-New Series 3, All-New Series 4, and All-New Series 5 that were also used in the All-New Series 6.  Out of the 80 different new character names for the All-New Series 1, 94 different new character names for the All-New Series 2, 107 different new character names for the All-New Series 3, 96 different new character names for the All-New Series 4, 85 different new character names for the All-New Series 5, and 86 different new character names for the All-New Series 6; there were 49 repeated first names for the All-New Series 6.  There were 5 All-New Series 6 character names that were identical to character names from previous series. • Alan: §Series 7 -

Series 10: 390b Twinny Vinnie • Magnet Card 2: Ann Chovie - Series 10: 392a Ann Chovie • Magnet Card 3: Cracked Sheldon - Series 10: 407a Cracked Sheldon • Magnet Card 4: Upset Tommy - Series 12: 469a Upset Tommy • Magnet Card 5: Barfin' Marvin - Series 13: 518a Barfin' Marvin • Magnet Card 6: Fun Gus - Series 13: 530a Fun Gus • Magnet Card 7: Mothy Martha - Series 14: 556a Mothy Martha • Magnet Card 8: Dim-Bulb Bob - Series 15: 599b Dim-Bulb Bob • Magnet Card 9: Hungry Ivan - Series 11: 423a Hungry Ivan        There were five bonus cards, and they were numbered b15, b16, b17, b18, and b19.  There were no "a" or "b" versions of the bonus cards.  Besides the numbering and bonus card information on the backs, the bonus cards looked and felt the same as the regular cards.  The bonus cards had die-cuts and an extremely glossy coating just like the regular cards.  However, the bonus cards are more valuable than the regular cards because they were much more difficult to obtain and were only available in the bonus boxes and blister packs.  Topps continued the numbering sequence starting from where the All-New Series 5 left off, but the card numbering had a lower-case "b" for the front of the cards and an upper-case "B" for the back of the cards.        Topps created promo card P2 Alien Alan for the All-New Series 6 (see image above), and it was handed out at the San Diego Comic-Con International at the Topps booth back in July of 2006.  The San Diego Comic-Con International is a huge convention that has products from hundreds of manufacturers.  This was the third promo card that Topps had produced for Garbage Pail Kids.  It is unusual that Topps numbered the card P2 because most manufacturers start their promo card numbers back at 1 or P1 for each new release, but Topps continued the card numbering on from the previous promo cards.  Promo card P1 was created for the All-New Series 3, and an unnumbered promo card was created for the All-New Series 4 and All-New Series 5.  The promo card was the same thickness and glossiness as the regular cards.  There was no "Peel Here" arrow printed on the promo card, and the card was not die-cut because there was no sticker portion (i.e., it was not a sticker on card backing).  The back of the promo card mentioned that the All-New Series 6 would be out in 2007, and it also had the URL to Topps' official Garbage Pail Kids website (the website is no longer up) printed on it.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9      There were 5 different puzzles for the United States Garbage Pail Kids All-New Series 6.  The other cards had Mix & Match backs or checklist backs.        Instead of alphabetically numbering the puzzles (e.g. Puzzle A, Puzzle B, Puzzle C, etc.), colors were used.  The puzzles were of characters from the series, but they did not have the name ovals printed on them.  The blue border puzzle was of 10a Nested Ernesto / 10b Elliot Nest, the green border puzzle was of 2a Showerin' Howard / 2b Rinsin' Vincent, the orange border puzzle was of 1a Orange Julius / 1b Peeled Neal, the red border puzzle was of 20a Brady Back Ribs / 20b Spare Rob, and the yellow border puzzle was of 29a Rasta Roni Tony / 29b Spaghetti Eddy.  Each puzzle, as shown above, was comprised of 9 puzzle pieces (3 pieces across and 3 pieces down).  All five of the puzzles were turned on the vertical.  Topps unintentionally printed all of the card backs upside down, so you would have to turn the puzzle pieces around in order to complete the puzzle and have the character facing right-side up.        Each completed puzzle picture (one for each color) was used for 2 card backs.  The completed puzzle pictures are shown above.  I also created a diagram showing where each of the 9 puzzle pieces should go, and I made a list that shows the card numbers that go with each of the puzzles.
