Only Took Three Decades to Get Decent Garbage Pail Kids Toys
 |
As with Kidrobot’s Family Guy, I think these are perfectly suited to the blind-box stylized format. You wouldn’t want to pay too much for a one-joke toy, but you would want it to be articulated, and the generic, blobby body fits the existing design style.
Naturally these are coming from Funko, which apparently owns every license in the world now, in some for or other. Each figure will be evenly packed – no rares or chases – and a 10″ deluxe Adam Bomb will also be made.
Now the uphill struggle is to remind kids what these actually are, and why they’re funny.
