The Garbage Gang Series 3 (Australia)

The Garbage Gang Series 3 is the Australian set in the local Garbage Pail Kids run, one of four Garbage Gang sets produced for New Zealand and Australia after the success of Garbage Pail Kids in the U.S. and UK territories.

This set belongs to the Australian Garbage Gang line rather than the New Zealand 1st Series. The New Zealand 1st Series is a direct reproduction of the UK 1st set. Series 3 is a base set of 117 cards, and the local releases were non die cut cards that peeled from the edges, came three to a pack with a slab of gum, and turned up with many back variations. The packaging did not carry box or wrapper codes.

A few of the kids in the set are JOE Blow, ROD Wad, Stuck CHUCK, Pinned LYNN, Horsey HENRY, Galloping GLEN, Hot Head HARVEY, ROY Bot, DINAH Saur, FARAH Fossil, Hurt CURT, PAT Splat, Stoned SEAN, Thick VIC, and BLAKE Flake.
