Garbage Pail Kids Figures

Cheap Toys Sculpt #10 - Thin Lynn

I thought I would mix things up a bit and shed a little light on a different side of Garbage Pail Kids. Sure, everyone is familiar with the stickers that were so popular throughout the late 80's, however what is not well known is that Garbage Pail Kids spawned a wonderful assortment of toys as well.

The most highly sought-after of those toys are the 'Cheap Toys'. These were a series of 10 figures cast in plastic and sold in small garbage bags. The bags contained one figure, a checklist and some candy - and were formally called 'Cheap Toys with Crummy Candy'.

I have an entire section of my site devoted to this wonderful - sometimes forgotten - piece of Garbage Pail Kids history...and you can visit it by clicking here.

Garbage Pail Kids is a series of trading cards produced by the Topps Company, originally released in 1985, and designed to parody the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls.
