Quirky and definitely not for kids, 2013 Cryptozoic Archer trading cards marks the first time the animated spy spoof comes to the hobby. Sticking with the tone and style of the show, the set is clearly aimed at adults.
The 2013 Cryptozoic Archer base set doesn't go with the traditional episodic recaps. Rather, it's more of a character study of the show's main characters. Archer, Lana, Cheryl, Pam, Malory, Krieger and Woodhouse each get nine cards dedicated to their personalities. Images come from the show's first four seasons.
Every box of 2013 Cryptozoic Archer comes with a sketch card. Among the artists are those who work on the show. Autographs are also a part of the mix, although no names or insertion ratios have been confirmed.
Who says trading cards can't be ironic? Totally Fabricated includes relics that might have been used if the show were live-action and not animated. Fake memorabilia pieces include Archer's Slightly Darker Black Tactleneck, Pam's Dolphin Puppet, Lana's Knockoff Fiachi Lingerie and Archer's Ping Pong Paddle. For those who have seen the show, they'll get the humor.
2013 Cryptozoic Archer also has three basic insert sets, each falling 1:12 packs: Inappropriate Workplace Moments, Sterling Archer's Spy (Just the) Tips and Welcome to Whore Island.
