After a few series of Flashback it seems Topps has newfound faith in the property

Topps is returning this year with a new series of Garbage Pail Kids.

The last original series came out in 2007, according to Topps Editor Colin Walton. Since then, Topps has produced Garbage Pail Kids Flashbacks, reliving some of the old cards we loved as children.

The new set is going to be fun and inspired by the cards of old.

“We’re trying to keep the art and type of jokes more similar to the original ’80s cards,” Walton said. “The Flashbacks do really well for us. I liked the old feel.”

That is REALLY cool! Glad to hear they are coming out with a new series! I stopped collecting them because I already spend WAY TOO MUCH $$$ on toys and collectibles.

Great stuff. I'm liking the samples they're showing.

Nice.

I assume those images are/will be the cards/stickers for series 8? and if that is the case are they ready to go? Will wee see them June or July?

Yes those are from series 8, we should see them by summer or at the latest fall. They will come up for solicitation shortly I believe
