Buy a Pack of Renone's Fucked Up Kids Series 4 Trading Cards and Get a Chance to Win a OOAK Gold Fat Jason

by
WORST GIVEAWAY EVER.

Renone has a limited number of his Fucked Up Kids (FUK) Series 4 trading card packs left in stock. To spice things up a little as they sell, he has set up a drawing:

ALL buyers of FUK Series 4 packs have their name entered into a drawing to win one of his AWESOME Fat Jason figures which I personally absolutely love. (I think Comic Book Guy is one of my favorite Simpsons characters!)

Once the packs sell out, Renone will pick a winner. Winner will receive a ONE OF A KIND Gold Fat Jason. No, it's not real gold, you dipshit. It's painted gold. But there's only one.


Dafuq are these FUK cards? Glad you asked:

This is a twisted concept from Renone, our favorite mad sticker printer and underground artist. This is the 4th trading card series in the Fucked Up Kids series, featuring 20 fucked-up characters and artwork from the sick minds of:

Packs may contain: original sketches, autographed artist cards, and Series 4 sees the return of the
wax pack! Two golden tickets are randomly inserted into packs that allow your name to be made into a Fucked Up Kid character to be inserted into Series 5. EVERY $20 pack contains a complete set of 20 cards- a pretty fucking good buy if you ask me.

Topps Highlights Sidekick Labs for Backers of Mars Attacks Occupation Kickstarter

by

 Topps has just posted a new update in their over-funded campaign for the Mars Attacks trading cards on Kickstarter. This newest update highlights our friends at Sidekick Labs and their unique production capabilities. This is not really news to those of us who have collected The Art Hustle, Buff's Melty Misfits or Suckadelic's Suckpax, but Sidekick might actually be a new name for people who collect other types of trading cards. Click the link below to check out the full update:

Topps Mars Attacks Occupation trading card series FUNDED on Kickstarter

by
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mars-attacks/mars-attacks-occupation-trading-cards  
Topps Mars Attacks Occupation trading card series FUNDED on Kickstarter with 20 days to go! That means you still have time to get your pledge in! This KS campaign is going full steam so make sure you pledge before your favorite reward tier is sold out (some of them already are). I just backed it!

Best of all, this card series will be printed up OLD-SKOOL STYLE by our friends at Sidekick Labs, the planet's premier vintage-style trading card printers! The Art Hustle cards were printed by Sidekick, and you gotta love those! This is a huge project for Sidekick, to partner with Topps- probably the world's most recognizable name in trading cards. Big ups to Sidekick for taking on this project, and HUGE props to Topps for choosing an extremely capable DOMESTIC production partner. I can't think of a better choice for this project.

Check this ridiculous intro video, where they actually explain that the Mars Attacks property was developed in the 60s as trading cards:

Below is the press release from May 6th, an awesome press release because I think they wanted to send it out just as the KS was launching - the way it reads, the PR was sent the day after launch... well, I bet they had to rewrite it at the last minute because the campaign was fully funded within 7 HOURS of launch! Man, I wish all my press releases started off like this...

TOPPS LAUNCHES (AND FUNDS) MARS ATTACKS CARD SET ON KICKSTARTER

May 6, 2015 - Yesterday afternoon at 1:00PM EST, The Topps Company launched the all–new trading card series, Mars Attacks: Occupation on Kickstarter.   After just 7 hours, the funding goal of $50,000 was achieved and several stretch goals have already been met, including a new subset featuring the long-awaited return of the 1980's card series Dinosaurs Attack!, in a crossover with the dastardly Martians.

On Kickstarter, fans and collectors can pledge at a variety of levels to pre-order boxes, complete sets, bundles of items or even unique rewards such as the opportunity to have their likeness appear in the series!  Add-on items include: “hot packs” guaranteed to contain sought-after super-rare "hit” cards; chase cards and parallel variants; plus collector binders and more!   Stretch goals will add new cards, bonus items and special features. 

The initial funding goal will create a 72 base card set with 18 chase cards (now 24 with Dinosaurs Attack!), 3 levels of parallels and incredible hits like sketch cards, metal cards, autographs and letter-press cards.

But that's not all!  Backers who get in early will have access to limited-edition bundle pledges that include large master collections-- and other valuable reward levels-- so fans should be encouraged to act quickly.  More stretch goals, new add-on items and additional features will be unveiled as the campaign builds steam.

Once the campaign concludes on June 1, Mars Attacks: Occupation will go into production, with a scheduled ship-date of December 15th.

9 to 5 Warriors Retro Wax Packs

by
9 to 5 Warriors Card Packs: bright yellow vintage style wax pack trading cards
9 to 5 Warriors writes to us:
I've been working on fun passion project called 9 to 5 Warriors where I wanted to recapture the magic from my generations Saturday morning cartoons. So I actually produced a little animated intro similar to one you would find in the 80s/90s with fun kick ass characters and a catchy theme song to boot:



Along with the intro I also created those bright yellow vintage style wax pack trading cards you would find at every stores back in the day.  You can see them here:
http://www.9to5warriors.com/#!product/prd12/1405945521/vintage-style-wax-packs
In talks with a few companies to produce minifigures based off the characters hopefully within the next few months.

Follow @9to5warriors on instagram to see more photos, behind the scenes, and the actual prototype figures.

Fucked Up Kids Series 2 by Renone now up for preorder

by
Our friend Renone (who has in the past printed our super sweet die-cut full color blue dog stickers) is rolling out Series 2 of his Garbage Pail Kids parody Fucked Up Kids. Consider that GPK is in itself a parody of Cabbage Patch Kids, we're getting extremely subversive here. You will be both repulsed and horrified, and you will love it. This series is offensive and perverse.


FUK Series 2 returns with even more surprises!
 This series will be a random mix of stickers from all the artists in series two, and 1 sticker from series one. Also, chase stickers return with a ratio to be determined by pre-orders. Error cards will return to Series 2. The Golden Ticket will also return, allowing your name to be made into a Fuk in series 3. New packaging from Side Kick Labs means this series will have a true wax pack. Pre-orders will get a exclusive sticker only available to those customers.

Artist roster below, and there are some secret artists as well...all can be found on Instagram:
