New Design Model

The New Design Model was the design used after Series 9, which started being used Series 10. This was done as a result of the Lawsuit.

Logo
Originally,the GPK logo beared a striking resemblence to the Cabbage Patch Kids' cloud-like logo. After the lawsuit, however, Topps had to change it to a straight banner.

Character Design
Ears stuck out more,the Garbage Pail Kids had four fingers instead of five, their foreheads became higher, the eyes became oval-shaped, the bodies became a hard surfaced plastic with cracks instead of the original soft sculptured, their limbs were now jointed, their hair was slick or normal rather than yarn-like, and their clothing was made to be more realistic and less like the Cabbage Patch Kids.
