Trash Can Trolls UK (United Kingdom)

Trash Can Trolls reached the United Kingdom in 1992, after the troll craze had already had its run and after Garbage Pail Kids had made the basic joke familiar. Due to late release into the troll hype, sales were low, and no 2nd Series was ever produced.

In the UK, the cards were sold as Trash Can Trolls, a name that keeps the garbage-can joke but shifts the target to the troll doll line made famous by Thomas Dam. The set is made up of 88 base cards, with no variations. The cards are smaller than the American Garbage Pail Kids cards, but they keep the same non die-cut, peel-from-the-edge format.

The local packs hold 4 cards and a slab of gum, and the price is marked on the box. The Counter Display Box and the Plastic Pack were manufactured in the Republic of Ireland by Topps Ireland Ltd. There is also a display box and a plastic pack wrapper, and the set includes twelve-piece puzzles, but no Puzzle Preview cards.

A few of the kids include JOEL Troll, Fall-Out PAUL, Retchin' GRETCHEN, FREDDY Spaghetti, Weepin' WILLOW, Flush GORDON, and EDWARD Scissorhair. The set includes several pairs of cards with the same forename, such as LOUISE, PETE, HY, BARB, and JOAN.
