GPK FROM NEW ZEALAND

New Zealand released a series of Garbage Pail Kids under the alternate THE GARBAGE GANG banner. These sets shared similarities with the US releases, with a few small changes

New Zeleand released their own version of Garbage Pail Kids under The Garbage Gang banner.

Produced by Regina Co, the New Zealand releases are 'small' in size - similar to the UK Series 1 release - measuring 2.1" x 3".

Regina offered a series of card collectors albums via a mail-in offer on their Series 2 wrappers. There were 3 albums to collect

The GPK releases from Australia are extremely similar to New Zealand, but one easy way to tell the difference is the banners: AUS cards have the straight banner, and NZ cards feature the arched banner

Below you will find information on the Garbage Pail Kids releases from New Zealand, including pictures of stickers, wrappers, and more.
