Topps just announced Brand New Series 2 for March

I was wanting to ask if/when we'll know when it's a success. I guess that answers that.

This is good news. However, I'm a bit confused by the 110 returning characters with 55 new images. Are these returning characters going to be vintage characters like Adam Bomb?

I'm more excited about the 36 new characters. Some of the images on their website look great!

They will most likely be updates, where are they now and other forms of the vintage characters

perfect example. Adam Bomb. First it was his head that was exploding then it was his rear that was exploding.

Thanks! This makes sense. It was just that the original statements was not worded very clearly.

I'm still excited about the new series, although I wish that there were more original characters.

I'm just now paying attention to the news release for ANS #2. (didn't think there was anything worth reading and wasn't expecting a sneak peak. and boy I was wrong on both accounts)

Of the sneak peaks Roast Ted is my favorite.

The sneak peeks do look awesome! I like Roast Ted, but Sleep Les is really clever, too.

Roast Ted reminds me of Jenny Jelly from the original series - maybe Series 2 or 3?

I am a huge fan of Garbage Pail Kids! Have been since I was 6, and will be til I die! LOL.

I have around 300 of the original 80's cards, about 100 of the 2003 "All New Series" cards, and now I have close to 100 of the 2012 "Brand New Series" cards. I also have some mini stickers from the 80's as well as some Magnet cards. Any way, I was just wondering if there is a trading thread for GPK here on the org and if not... I think it might be time that we start one!

I'm not sure about any one else, but I might be willing to trade MOTU for GPK if the situation is right.

I saw a GPK version of Skeletor and He-Man on Facebook. Is that really a part of a series or just fan made?

If you are talking about He-Man standing on skeletor yes. He's a bonus art I believe. One of the alternate name is Barbarian Brian. Brian Ozone has it as his avatar.
