Also, they need to be kids. Obviously this doesn't hold for the abstract pieces, but if the subject is a person, it needs to be a KID. You can't have the subject be an adult and expect it to be accepted as a GPK by the original collectors. But the original series had human characters that weren't kids such as Ancient Annie/Wrinkled Rita who was an old lady I've always thought of Ancient Annie as a CPK made to look old. A kid made into an old lady. Not an actual old lady.

A kid made to look like an old lady. Not an actual old lady. Like Nasty Nick, he's a CPK that looks like a vampire. Eerie Eric is a CPK that looks like a werewolf. Contrast that with the lastest release - there is a werewolf in that set that just looks like a generic cartoon werewolf. The art is good, but it doesn't look like a CPK.

The art is good, but it doesn't look like a CPK. I don't know, maybe my arguments don't hold water. There are examples from the OS that don't fit my requirements. Heck, #1A Nasty Nick doesn't meet my hair requirement. But I think these are exceptions rather than the rule. My lasting impression of GPKs from when I was a kid is that they are Cabbage Patch Kids doing irreverant, subversive and/or gross things. I want any new GPKs to fit that mold, rather than fitting the mold of the exceptions. So they should look as close to CPKs as possible.

I like that Thomas the Train Wreck sketch! That is a final I would love to own (sorry Cory).

I wonder if this set will have another Bony Tony parody like 30th anniversary had the child of Bony Tony and Lizard Liz, Trashy TV had an x-files Scully/Alien Adam-geddon had Hillary/Bill Clinton reprinted from the online series, We hate the 80s had He Man/Skeletor and oh the horrible had a They Live Bony Tony parody so will they continue the trend in this set

That might just be the best modern GPK I've seen in a long, long time It's very good. It's kind of grossing me out too, because he's so hairy and it looks realistic. Is this a Layron?

I think it's really bad . ................ don't like it at all Agreed. I really don't see how anyone can look at that and think it's a good GPK. Even the concept is half-assed. Just a fat CPK with a couple of tattoos. Oooooo, so thuggish looking...

When I saw the name Tattoo lou on the checklist I was hoping it would be another version of Tattou Lou from series 2 who is a much better character than this

I don’t like it. You can fit 3 faces on that giant head.
The art isn’t bad, but it just doesn’t look like a GPK to me.

Maybe I'm making a bad assumption that there IS a joke here -- but what in the world is the joke supposed to be?
