Depends who wants it. I'd only ever consider it worth the price of the loose mint toy + the price of the wrapper/checklist.... But that's just me Isn't it a Sunshine Heather ? We can't check since the collection thread is down? I don't quite remember.

How often do they show up on ebay? Anyone got a good deal on a Novo from there? In late 2016 through mid 2017 there were some Novos on eBay. There was even a particularly large lot of 10 figures or so. Since mid to late summer it has been pretty dry though. A few figures here or there. Prices are typically market circa 2015 or 16. There was a Canadian seller who had a group of four or five figures he was selling for about $180 (U.S.) if nobody bid the auction up. That's where I got my blue Mickey from and thought that was a decent price. It certainly doesn't seem like the glory days I have read about that's for sure.

Topps needs to release mini 41 character sets for OS1-15 that come in packaging like the old Muscle figures so the entire series is displayed in the packaging; 15 Sets Total Remember these growing up? Awesome displays and great for storage. I like seeing all the new merchandise but I just can’t get into these little Pops. What’s up with the black eyes? I hope they continue with the bigger GPK Funko line and go with an OS3 green box for the next release. So how bout just go back to Cheap Toys. Blind bags or boxs with a standard color and multiple rare colors to chase. They could be released in sets of ten or what have you. The template is there and judging by what I see in the bubble gum machines in the super market China still makes this Sh*t so how bout it. Really not that hard.

I’m currently searching for a Novo wrapper and checklist if anyone has an extra. Also, is it fruitless at this point to keep searching for a Garbage Gang CT empty box? 📦 Novo wrapper and checklist was on eBay not to long ago and it didn't sell for that much.

Yeah, Funko needs to go smaller. Smaller than fhe blind boxes they came out with before. Lego minifig small. Or, Lego should make GPK playsets. Action Figure Threrapy were looking at you.

Here is an image of the entire set (spoilers obviously) -> Looking a this set - in all of its glory, there was some real potential here given the subjects. I imagine a group of comedy writters getting together with a list of these would be able to bounce ideas off of each other and come up with some pretty good gags. I know it would cost more money but this whole existing Topps artist who is sending in his 1258th concept cause that's his meal ticket is just coming up lame, never mind the artistic execution by who ever gets to paint them. Fugg are these people retarded? Why do I feel like I could do better, the guy down the street could do better, certainly if you hired some talent this could be better. It's not all absolute crap but man. Whoever did the duck hunt card should be ashamed of themselves....Mark's upcoming card with basically the same concept is way better.

I’m more interested in the odds of getting a card with a character that even remotely looks like a GPK. Haha!!! Good one, Steve!! Russ said it! Quote of the year Steve.

Two more card artworks released... I like both of these also. So far I am liking all 11 cards revealed so far, so fingers crossed the whole set follows suit... only a few days to go to find out! These suck. These themed sets are the worst. It wouldn't be any different if it wasn't a themed set. The brand is lost. These aren't Garbage Pail "Kids". They are just weak gag cards being sold under a recognizable brand name. I don't understand why people waste their money on this crap.

Haha, this thing is trash. Sketch cards have always been trash to me. I just don't understand the appeal. Especially, because there are very good alternatives to get art directly from the artists. Disagree. We can thumb through my sketch card collection and I'd doubt you would use the word trash to describe the majority of the artwork. Sketch cards allow artist to provide interesting perspectives and their own stab at some of the characters from the franchise. I am not defending a lot of the recent sketch cards that's Topps has included in their sets but just letting you know you might want to pump your brakes a little bit on the broad swath statements. Stupid, waste of money or not my thing, I can agree with but not trash.

I don't understand what makes this set "classic". Looks like same Shi+ different release. That combover dude concept is trash.

At that price point I wouldn't bother. If you check yourself and list it honestly most buyers will take you at your word. It's not like you are selling unopened rares.

Oh and yay!! I can't wait to see the sketch cards from Jasmine Contois, “Smokin” Joe McWilliams and Anthony Skubis just to name a few. These artist's influence on GPK cannot be measured. But seriously, and no offense to any of these artists, but does anyone really get excited about sketch cards anymore? All I see is these things plummeting in price. There are so many they are not special in any way. Every time the next set comes out, who cares about the previous ones? If I was at all interested in the new art, I would just hold off on buying a few sketch cards and buy a final from the new set. I don't get it. I hate to say it but I agree. There are some cool cards that these artists do but I can't say I want to spend money on them. Quite a few sell for a pretty good price when the realease hit but after that not so much.

I think it is a combination of sorry concepts combined with in general low quality artwork. Good concepts with so so art would still be engaging. My question is why are the gags so bad?

Hey I was wondering if there was ever a RoyBot cheap toy made? Any info would be greatly appreciated There was a custom made by Uraeus that was a quality figure. You might be able to find one of those. Nothing official was ever made.

It was more like 4 or 5 (Let's not forget the mystery figure Russ was interested in) but who's counting. Still a big burden on you Youth. The seller is just not interested in budging off a lot sale. Until that changes or someone comes along to buy the lot on eBay they will sit. I am interested to see what he will do once this listing ends.

Very neat and tidy but a slap in the face of Cheap Toy history. LOL. I think you had a chance to call them Neon Purple when had you them boxes didn't you?

Update:
The seller has said he is going to pull the lot off of ebay. He knows there is a group of members here trying to come together and buy the lot. He has not indicated that he is holding them for us but I don't think he has any other takers.
Not all of the figures are "spoken for". If you are interested in any part of this lot shoot me a PM.

To an extent I agree. I feel like that is what the color's established name is, and along with Magenta and Salmon is the name by which the color is known. Electric Blue can be considered it's common name....almost like plants. Plants have a common name and a scientific name. If you wanted to be proper / scientific about it you would just insert neon in front of every rubbery rare you were referring to. Besides Electric Blue is not really that neon . It gets its name from the effect of shining a light through the figure. Kind of disappointing in terms of what they could have done with the color. Neon Red - Toatally Pops Pack Fresh Neon Yellow- You almost need sunglasses Neon Blue - ummmm not so much As a rule new collectors should memorize the writings of the RusVan on the subject of cheap toys so that they can be as educated as possible before venturing into the wilds. Cheap Toy collecting: You have been warned - enter at your own risk.

Bunch of us just gotta pool our cash and do this thing. I am willing to tally a master list to see if we can get there in terms of all figures spoken for. If we get to that point: 1) I have a plan for figures who may be double or triple claimed. Once all who are in are identified we can discuss and hopefully agree or come up with an alternate solution. 2) We will need to decide who is going to be responsible for receiving money from all parties involved in the purchase, initiating & completing the transaction and receiving them. Then breaking up the lot and shipping accordingly. I would suggest that if we get to that point, this purchase be done via the ebay auction as the seller is not known to any of us (as far as I know). Please PM me if would like to be a part of purchasing this lot. All request will be confidential until the group of buyers agree otherwise. Note* This is with an assumed purchase price of $2500 for the lot. Those interested should assume a price per figure of $192.31 with shipping TBD. Update - For those interested and sending me a PM. I will send you a PM back confirming receipt. Please on only get into this if you are able to consistently communicate in a timely fashion over the course of this effort. So that most interested parties are given a chance to see this post and reply I feel that we should give members until this Sunday (2/19) to reply. I hope does not seem to long to any of you but I feel like this should be fair and not rushed. If you know any forum members who may be interested but are not frequently on, please reach out to them. Should we reach our goal prior to Sunday we will take next steps sooner.

Aren't you guys missing one thing.....nobody knows who got em. Right?? Still for sale on eBay That was the point I was going to make too. It is possible the guy just hasn't removed the auction but until that gets pulled it would seem nobody has bought them. If it ever would work out, I would like the green Jill.

Whoever offered the 2500, I'll pay 325-350 for the yellow Mickey, or 150 and swap you for a red Mickey. Get in touch. I'm sure who's buying them is on this board. A perfect opportunity was missed to use :
