Stuart, you are going to be in a world of pain if you don't upload a second video of you briefly burning the unpainted ones and putting the stickers in the Drawer of Purgatory.
If I remember correctly the Cabbage Patch Kids company has sued the Garbage Pail Kids people a billion times for various reasons in various lawsuits. So they probably just leave the whole name/trademark off the product, just to make sure 100% that they don't risk getting sued again.
+Torgo That was back in 80s and they had to modify the look of the characters and logo but does't seem to be a problem anymore as I have seen packs in the last few year come out with the older look, but the mini figures oddly do not have the name on them but all the packs of stickers/cards since they got introduced in 2003 have had the name.
+sonicgun77 Possibly different labelling methods for different regions/countries depending on different laws. Many of these weird toys get shipping all over the world so who knows, they could be designed to conform with Italian laws or Australian law or something weird like that. Toy companies have entire buildings full of lawyers who work 24/7 trying to find absurd reasons to sue people.
@@sonicgun77 Full details of the legal settlement weren't released. It may have included a stipulation that Topps refrain from marketing "Garbage Pail Kids"-branded products in the doll/figure category.
one has to wonder what happens to the items that appear on the Shelf of interesting items at one point but disappear in the future... Sure, we all travel through time and space, but What Becomes of the cherished icons? it's almost as if there's nobody we can truly trust...
+Foxtrot_ShadowGun1 yeah "Rare" in the same way giving a baseball card a different color border makes it rare, it only has value if people want it. If it's a crap recolor it doesn't add any value to it.
Aaand everyone is waiting for that torch to be lit. And about the figures, when he was complaining about the color i first thought "what's he saying!?, he got 2 rare!"...then i realised that they place it on the package as an atempt for their lazyness to be apreciated.
+blobbem I actually really liked it. I thought it was so bad it was enjoyable. I thought the story with Tangerine was kind of disjointed though. I wouldn't be surprised if it was due to a hasty rewrite late in filming.
I have idea. For things that deserve to be burnt, toss a coin. If it lands heads then burn them there and then, but if it lands tails then have a place to put them (draw, bucket, etc) and once a week/month pull out one at random and burn it.
Mustard. I don't know if they have this in the UK but in the US, you can buy big hot soft pretzels (usually were in little stands in the aisles of shopping malls) and it was traditional to put yellow mustard on them. Pretty tasty and chewy.
Yeah we fave the giant pretzels but never heard if the mustard thing. Must be just an American thing as I didn't find any mustard on pretzels in Germany either. Does sound tasty though
The yellow bit was probably mustard or maybe cheese. Not sure if that is a thing to do to soft pretzels in England but in the US we add those condiments to pretzels
I know the cries for *BURN IT* are old, but no one seemed to be listening when Ashens professed his nostalgia for GPK! Of course those two ended up in The Drawer Of Purgatory. They reminded me of the little MUSCLE GPKs I have.
Ya, kind of odd how the mini figure packs don't have the Garbage Pail Kids name on them but the sticker/card packs made since being reintroduced in 2003 have them all the time.
I don't know if these were ever a fad in any of your times but all these blind bags remind me of crazy bones, I used to love those plastic little things, it just reminded me of them when he said the solid coloured ones were rare because I think it was the same kind of thing.
The monochromatic ones are actually an homage to the the Garbage pail kids line called Cheap Toys that came out in the 80's. So given that fact I think its pretty cool they did that.
I loved Garbage Pail Kids when I was little. I had a huge collection of them, until one day they mysteriously dissappeared. My mom never admitted to throwing them away, but I know she did. I'm still pissed about it dammit.
GPK cards were big when I was in Junior High School. They were so distracting to classes that they were banned. Found out the same happened nationwide.
Here in Mexico, there's a law that prohibits the possession, distribution and sales of "cards depicting children in degrading or bizarre ways". Some hot shot politician from the 80's was really pissed when little Johnny... I meant: Juanito, came home with some fresh Garbage Pail Kids trading cards back in the days.
Dr. Ashens I just recently found out about you and your mission on this world. I always felt something is missing in my life and I felt very bad about it, sometimes even depressed and suicidal. But now when I have all this videos from you I am born agan as a new and better man. I hope one day you will sent me a little something you have touched so I can keep it for good luck... maybe even Salty Sean if I'll ever be that lucky. Thank you for everything.
I enjoy seeing things on the Shelf that haven't been placed there as part of a review. Shows that Stuart actually keeps a rotation for reasons other than RU-vid. Or he does Interesting Item-related things on other forms of social media which I don't participate in. Or he's just quite clever.
To be fair, I can understand not wanting to burn the unpainted ones, I'm pretty sure at this point if Ashens inhales any more burning rubber it'd be hazardous to his health!
