The Garbage Gang (Australia & NZ)

The Garbage Gang’s Australia and New Zealand cards were meant to be a late 1990 local follow-up, and they would have appeared under the name The Garbage Gang Australia and New Zealand Series 5. It never reached shelves, because sales were already sliding.

What was planned was a base-card run of 22 cards that would have mimicked the OS5 U.S. Garbage Pail Kids set. The numbering would have run from 167 to 206, and the cards would have been replicated from UK proofs via the U.S.

There were also NECK TY, TAGGED TAD, PINNED PENNY, HUGH TURN, EDIBLE ERNIE, HAMBURGER PATTIE, CRACKED CRAIG, CONNIE SEWER, Fluoride FLOYD, DENTAL DANIEL, TANYA HIDE, and KIT SPIT. The red nameplate seen on 200a Fluoride FLOYD and 200b Dental DANIEL came from the UK set.
