Creepy Co. Merch
« on: July 13, 2018, 09:22:03 PM »
new merchandise from Creepy Co. starting next week.
they've been putting out a lot of horror themed items, including some well done GPK stuff.
Cool to see WP joining the lineup.
Cult 45 is the sneak peek, and I would expect the others to all be horror/monster themed as well

First look at some enamel pins.
Pins are all the rage right now it seems. Often well-rendered, inexpensive, don’t take up much space and easy to add to shirts, backpacks, lanyards, etc.

Pins are cool but I don't see myself ever wearing one. T shirts yes.

So what do you think the size of these pins are?  I'm guess a square inch or so, but have no idea. And would one pin have multiple images like this one? 
 Looking forward to what they have to offer!

Fairly sure that's 3 individual pins on a backing display. Maybe 3/4 to an inch on their long sides

Thanks!  That makes sense.  It'll be interesting to see which tiles, and from which eras, they choose as their subjects.

Perhaps I'm overly critical, but I am disappointed with the Fang shirt - it does not include the "package" and appears to have very simplified character artwork compared to the actual Wacky.

the cult 45 above has a similar simplified rendering of the art and character. We'll see tonight how the others look. They didn't do that with the gpk and only slightly to the Ugly's.

10again did a number that were 'package-less' as well. Some were more effective than others. For me the Fang still works.

I could go with 'package-less' if the art was at least well rendered.

That was a letdown.

I would have paid $15-20 for a shirt.

But $30-35?

Plus, the only shirts are the two they showed. Nothing else. Nada. Was really hoping for Bloodweiser, Ghoul Humor, Creature Crackers, etc.

I thought these were going to be limited as well, but they aren't. I'm suspecting to see these on eBay tomorrow for $50+.

They really misled people with the rampup to
this sale. I thought maybe 6 different shirts.
No purchases for me. Maybe in the future if these
sell they will do more.

Don't know if they have the offer going, but in the past there was a discount code for signing up to their email list.

They have my size in Fang, but I just don't like it enough to spend that kind of money on it. Gonna wait it out for the week and see what else comes along.

Wow, that was disappointing.  I'll certainly keep my eyes peeled for better offerings, but it was limited and expensive (for the shirts) and very questionable choices for the pins.  I think I would have been far more open to the pins (as I have plenty of shirts), but that choice of images was poor.  I looked at the GPK offerings, and they seemed much better.  I'm hoping for some better options in the future.

Instead of Cannibal's for the pins, they should have done Campy.

The more I look at the Creepy Co website, the more excited I get for possible cool Wacky items.  They have a ton of GPK items I'd spring for in a heartbeat.  As long as Topps isn't doing anything to get me excited about Wackys, I guess I need to count on outside companies to keep the fire going.  I just sent a message to Creepy with some thoughts.  Perhaps it would help encourage them to hear from more Wacky folks.

Here's what I wrote:
Hi, Creepy People!
I'm a long time Wacky Packages collector and was thrilled to hear you would be creating some Wacky items!  To be honest, however, while I like the first three (I hope there's more) Wacky items you've conjured up, I don't know that I'll actually be ordering any.  I appreciate your note about how you're the "company you keep", so I thought I'd give some feedback on what I would love to see as a Wacky Package collector.
First, though, here's why I'm not immediately sold on the three Wacky items you have so far.  The t-shirts are indeed cool, but many companies have released Wacky t-shirts.  I personally have dozens (in fact, I recently listed 17 to sell on ebay).  Your designs are great, but in the end, it's still a t-shirt which leaves me on the fence.  (For what it's worth, I can also be a bit wonky about buying clothes online as I am not confident how they'll fit).  I love the idea of the pins and would be more inclined to purchase those.  However, my slight disappointment is in the selection of images/titles you used.  We long-time Wacky collectors (who bought them as kids in the 70s) have a huge fondness for the "original series" titles that came out back then.  Norm Saunders, the artist who painted most of them, is a master and there would be so many monstrous images from which you could choose.  I'd happily give you some suggestions if you'd like, but I know I would strongly prefer to focus on those rather than a sampling from the different eras of Wacky Packages.
In perusing your website, I saw lots of really cool Garbage Pail Kids items!  I'm not a GPK collector, but I would love to see some of the GPK items you made done as Wacky Packages.  Some of the ones that most stand out to me are the wax wrapper blanket, patch, plastic cups (though a pint glass would be similarly awesome), buttons, puffy stickers, zipper pulls, and pin set (amazing!).  I also like the cushion and socks, though to a lesser extent.  And while I know I previously said I'm a bit reluctant to buy more t-shirts, I do like many of the GPK shirts that AREN'T t-shirts, such as the polo and button-up shirt. 
Again, I'm very pleased to hear that you are delving in the Wacky world!  Your company sounds fun and I see a good deal of potential to create some incredible Wacky items.  I wish you well and will keep my eyes peeled on your website.
Thanks for listening!
