• Favorite.  Toy.  Ever.
• So anyone who knows me well at all knows that I’m a complete freak when it comes to collecting.  And the one thing I collect more than anything else is Garbage Pail Kids.  The toys above were released in 1986 by Topps, Inc. in an effort to capitalize on the popularity of the sticker sets.  These toys are extremely rare in the ‘mini-figure’ subculture – and depending on the color, they can fetch quite a high price!  This picture showcases over 15 different ‘Alice Island’ sculpts (I have over 20 different!) from the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
• Fun Fact:  The picture above is the most extensive documented collection of this particular sculpt, and is valued at over $2300.00!  Too bad I ain’t sellin’!  ;)
