Imperial Toys Pencil Billboards

Imperial made the pieces in three colors and gave the line 24 different characters, so a complete set would be nearly impossible to assemble. The billboards were sold in blister packs with three pieces apiece, meant to hang on a peg, and the backer had a simple diagram showing how to mount one on a pencil. The catalog also shows a clear-plastic trashcan display with a cardboard insert and lid, and these trash cans are extremely rare and never show up for sale.

The trashcan is a simple design. When closed, the lid carries the collecting instructions, and when opened, the same text appears in French, with the pieces tossed in loose inside. The catalog art does not include the Garbage Pail Kids banner on the billboards themselves.
