Wacky Packages 2010 - Wacky Packs Invade the Web!
Wacky Packages 2010 features 75 hilarious new pieces of art parodying famous consumer products. Now, for the first time ever, each 8-sticker pack contains a unique code that unlocks web-exclusive content on the Wacky Pack World website.
Today's kids live on the internet and Wacky Pack World provides a fully interactive experience that is tied directly to the sticker packs. Each code unlocks a digital pack of Wacky Packages to collect in a fun virtual binder -- plus bonus items for kids to customize avatars and online "clubhouses."
- The more codes kids get, the more online goodies and fun!
- Games, polls, activities and more!
- Builds on all of the elements that made ToppsTown a huge success for Topps baseball cards -- but adds Wacky Packages' trademark twisted sense of humor.
* ToppsTown.com: Nearly 200.000 visits and over 1 million page views per month
- Supported by a robust marketing campaign on kids' websites
Wacky Packages has a devoted fan base of kids and adults that continues to grow through a huge viral presence on the Internet with hundreds of devoted fansites and message boards. That, combined with the added exposure through licensed merchandise such as T-shirts, wall art, calendars and art books, means that Wacky Packages is in its greatest demand. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity.
