Sounds a bit like the Garbage Pail Kids trading cards I collected as a kid. Ah, Pat Splat...

But 7-year-old Lucas's "Banana Man" and his other characters didn't make the final cut Banana man? I wonder what his "special power" was?

Saw the demo versions of this at GenCon in Indianapolis this year. Figures weren't all that bad, I've seen worse. (can't remember the names, but Topps had these collectable cards back in the 70's that were gross-out plays on real product names, anyone remember those?) Compared to other Wiz Kids games, the Creepy Freaks game was rather boring though...

Have you seen the Quizno's TV ad, where the guy's suckling a wolf's teat?
Sick.

"Bodily fluids became our creative direction. They kind of set the tone," said Jordan Weisman, chief executive officer of Bellevue-based WizKids game development company. Sounds like this guy has some issues with pee.

Wacky Packs was the name of the Topps series. It came with a stick of gum and stickers.

. "The most fun was thinking like an 8-year-old boy again and coming up with gross stuff."You mean to tell me we are NOT supposed to come up with stuff like that as we get older? That sucks. No wonder people look at me funny.

When I was a kid we had Incredible Edibles...They were some kind of gooey stuff that you cooked into something kind of edible...And they were bugs.
People need to relax!!

Woah, thanks! I had a ton of these as a kid. A quick google search turned up
this page. Nice trip down memory lane.
