The box is really neat. I usually try to buy out the last packs in a box so the store will let me take it home. I've got the boxes from most of the GPK series so far.
There are four different wrappers for this series and each one has one of the classic GPKs from the the old series. Each pack also contains the card of the character shown on the wrapper. I thought that was pretty neat. Also, I don't know if it is true in every case but I found that you can complete the whole set by just buying one of each of the four different packs. It worked for me. This was quite different from previous GPK series where I ended up with hundreds of "doubles" attempting to complete an entire base set.

The back of each card pack has the checklist and nutrition facts and stuff.

I found there are three different types of gummy candy (heart, severed foot, and eyeball). There are two in each pack and come individually wrapped.

The best things about this set are first of all the old series look with simple backgrounds and the original Cabbage Patch spoof look that was seen in those cards from my childhood. Second of all I like the ease of completing a set without having to buy a whole box full. It's a refreshing change especially for a tightwad like me.
The first four magnets in the set are from the old series GPKs (Adam Bomb and Potty Scotty from series 1, Ghastly Ashley from series 2, and Beasty Boyd from series 9) the rest are new concepts painted by Mark Pingitore #5-16. I posted scans of the cards along with his original artwork from his Facebook page.

Mark Pingitore put his initials on the children's block I see.

I always wonder how they keep coming up with new ideas for Garbage Pail Kids. I swear they have done everything you can think of and have even doubled and tripled certain ideas. There is some nice fresh stuff in this set.
Go out and buy some. They look great on the refrigerator.
