Description
The individual toys are called "Trashies" and are typically made of rubber. Each comes in a container shaped like a trash can, the color and size of which can change depending on the series. Limited and special edition Trashies are frequently composed of non-rubber materials. Each Trashie will have a certain name and various toys will have specific attributes such as the ability to glow in the dark or change colors. Particularly rare Trashies have been known to sell for as much as £1296.
Nintendo
In 2012 a Nintendo game entitled The Trash Pack was developed by Webfoot Technologies in partnership with Moose Enterprises. It was released for the Nintendo DS and 3DS on October 30, 2012 and allows players to collect Trashies and play four mini-games. Critical reception for the game has been negative.
App
On May 31, 2014 the mobile app The Trash Pack Dash was released for Android and IOS operating systems. It was developed by Bulls I Toy.
Ending and Retirement
In late 2014 the last series of The Trash Pack which was Series 7 (a.k.a. Junk Germs) was released. An 8th series did not come out in 2015 which confused many people. At the time Moose Toys was releasing other collectables such as Shopkins and The Ugglys Pet Shop. After a few months rumours were going around saying that the Trash Pack was ending. Moose confirmed that series 7 was the final series in summer 2015.
