PROMO CARDS
- To help promote the release of the film, many cinemas around the country worked together with Topps to distribute a set of 4 Garbage Pail Kids 'postcards' themed after the characters in the movie. These cards were made of rather flimsy paper material and were not stickers like official Garbage Pail Kids. Also, the art on the card was re-worked to look a little more like the character portrayed in the movie as opposed to an exact replica of the card image. The back of the postcards contained some promotional information and copyright text. I obtained these postcards first-hand when I viewed the movie back in 1987 and they have been part of my collection ever since.
- In an effort to get the word out to as many people as possible, Topps decided to advertise their movie release in a number of magazines. I recently obtained an original, full-page magazine ad that was run prior to the original theatrical release of the movie.

- I also was able to obtain a rather unique item that dealt with the promotion of the GPK Movie.  I have a 'Mini Ad Sheet' in my collection.  This un-cut sheet is 11" x 17" and features 24 different 'mini-ads' of varying sizes.  These ads were used on the back of movie tickets to promote the GPK Movie.  What is particularly interesting is there are numerous different sizes of the ads - this is due to the vast range of movie ticket sizes. I only know of one other of these un-cut sheets to exist.
