The FUNKO POP! figures were first released in April, 2018, and consisted of four figures and a CHASE variant. This page highlights the GPK-themed POP! releases from Funko…including in-depth looks at not only the figures, but also the packaging and promotional materials


PROMO MATERIAL & ADVERTISING

The first glimpse collectors got of the GPK POP! release was in this image taken from the Funko catalog back in early January, 2018. It features very rough renderings of the four different characters to be featured in the initial release

Later in January Funko provided a much better look at the first release of figures - including a first glimpse at the Glow CHASE variant of Adam Bomb. These renderings were much more complete, and there weren't any major changes from this teaser image and the final figures


The first sightings of the actual GPK POP! figures was at the London Toy Fair in January, 2018. All the figures were there, inclucing the Chase variant


In late September, 2018, collectors were surprised to see a teaser image for the first ever Funko POP! Convention Exclusive - the 'Metallic' Adam Bomb available only at NYCC



PACKAGING: INDIVIDUAL BOX

Each figure comes in the standard Funko POP! packaging. In addition to the 'cartoonish' renderings of the characters on the front/sides/back of the box, the Garbage Pail Kids figure boxes feature pink accents throughout the design. Inside is a clear plastic housing that contains the figure and keeps it from moving around in the box.

The boxes featured a visual checklist on the back. It should be noted that Funko does not include Chase variants on their packaging, so the first boxes only include images for figures 01 through 04, and do not have any mention of the 'glow' version of Adam Bomb.

PACKAGING: VARIANTS/CON EXCLUSIVES

This section contains images of the different variant GPK figures available. These packages are mainly distinguished by the small stickers on the 'window' of the packaging. A number of 'bootleg' figures have been made over the years, but this section only contains the 'official' variants/exclusives.

Below is a gallery of the different figures available, as well as some info of when/where they were released:
