Imperial Toys Sunglasses

Imperial Toys made these Garbage Pail Kids sunglasses in 1986, during the GPK-boom. They were cheap children’s shades, sold in four frame colors, and they mixed Series 1 and Series 2 characters on the corners.

The package called them “12 assorted styles,” but that count comes from the character art and the frame colors together, not from twelve entirely different pairs. The front also promised “Safety Tested Shatter Proof Lenses,” while the back of the package was left blank, with no instructions or other notes.
