Certainly not from series 1, way too much detail, too well done!  Is that a cat in her hair?

Wacky Packages were not intended to be painted in the style of Norm's realistic sci-fi covers. Just because a particular character is more realistically rendered doesn't make it better. The characters used in the 1st series are among the best and most memorable. Chock is as close to a perfect wacky as there could ever be.

What Wacky is this from?

This seems as good a time as any to ask about a Wacky character I've never been able to place.

In the Wacky Packages Forum banner at the top of our screens, the woman with dark hair above and between the Y in Wacky and P in Packages, where the heck is that character from?  I was able to easily ID all the others, but not that one.  I'm sure I'm going to kick myself when I find out what sticker it's from, assuming of course we're talking pre-ANS.

Joe already correctly identified it above as DING KONGS from ANS11. Here's a look...

Each is the correct answer to the two different questions being asked.

That WAS confusing.......  The character Jean Nutty provided in the very first post was from ANS11 Ding Kongs, and the question about the forum header character is Land-O-Quakes - I THINK MoldRush asked that question, but with all the embedded posts and overlapping quotes, I'm not sure.
Title: Re: What's that Wacky?
Post by: MoldRush on June 18, 2016, 06:40:12 PM
Yes that was me asking about Lando Pat. Thanks all for answering.  I can now understand why I had trouble with it - the way the image is shown in the banner, the Indian headdress and pigtails are cropped out, which eliminates the most obvious identifiers.  Plus, the face on the sticker is relatively tiny, and I was thinking something on a bigger scale.  Mystery solved.

A also agree. I think the only time Topps altered the name from WACKY PACKAGES was the shortened  "WACKY PACKS"  found on the 1985 U.K. release. I am very skeptical that wrapper shown above is a WP wrapper.

Makes me long for my Candy Land board game from childhood, which was likely the exact version used in the parody, as I got it around the same time.  Somewhat simplistic gameplay, but I loved the images on the board, such as “ice cream floats”, which were slices of spumoni floating on a lake like little rafts.  Too funny.
Title: Re: What's that Wacky?
Post by: Baked Bears on July 01, 2019, 11:44:07 AM
I still have my Candy Land game from 50 or so years ago and keep it for the sake of nostalgia.  I particularly liked the ice cream rafts, as well.  Can't put my finger on it; There's just something neat about them.
Title: Re: What's that Wacky?
Post by: MoldRush on July 01, 2019, 05:18:45 PM
Yes!  And the cluster of gumdrops, the ice pops, etc.  Before I posted yesterday I couldn’t remember too many specifics, only that I remember loving the board graphics and how colorful they are.  Looking at google images is what brought the memories rushing back.  I played this game a lot when I first got it, and definitely for a good while before being distracted away by something else.

Oddly, I couldn’t pinpoint the version I most likely had, which would have been bought around 1974 if I remember correctly.  An eBay search featured a 1955, 1962, 1978, 1984 and later versions.  Maybe mine was a ‘62 that stayed in production without changing the year?  Not sure.

I thought I remember one of the artists commenting here on the forum that the sketches were supposed to have the title on them, at least the last few releases or so.  But I see from looking on eBay that  Pat Chaimuang's sketches do not.

Most of the ones I just pulled do have the title, but there are a few that don't.

Agreed. I thought it was a rhetorical question.
