These mini display figures came packaged in a larger (clear-plastic) clamshell case, and included: (1) figure, (1) mini case, (1) mini sticker

Super Impulse released a set of Blind Box toys in January, 2021.

This 'Micro Collection' featured 78 official items to collect: (31) GPK Figures, (23) GPK Wacky Mini Grocery items, (24) Stickers
The packaging of the trash cans is covered with examples of some of the items that can be found inside. Each trash can (blind box) came with the following: (1) GPK Figure, (1) GPK Wacky Mini Grocery item, (2) stickers, (1) checklist
CHECKLISTS
There were no checklists included with the Mini Display Case figures, but there were checklists included inside the trash cans that show pictures of the various items to collect. Below are images of the included-checklists that you can click on to see hi-res versions. I have also included a printable checklist that you can use to track your collection (click the image to open a .pdf)

The quality of these are fantastic, and the company is well-known and respected in the business.
