Super Impulse teamed up with iconic trading card company Topps to introduce Wacky Packages Minis, a new line of 3D products based on iconic stickers. Wacky Packages was originally introduced in the 60s and over the decades that followed, fans have enjoyed being able to collect spoofs of popular household products. Now, the 2D parody stickers are being reimagined as 3D items to tap into the current popularity of mini collectibles.
In all, there are 66 minis to collect, including six styles that are ultra-rare and pearlescent. Inspired by pop culture, the collection includes models of Ghoul Scout Cookies, Captain Crud and Bandache and more that play off of familiar household products. In a blind package, there are five minis, an Original Wacky Packages sticker and a collector checklist.
