Like the C variations found in Garbage Pail Kids Brand New Series 2, long-time GPK collectors will notice something familiar about these. The names of the C variations are not new. They're based off of classic characters from the line's early days in the 1980s. In the base set, the A-name is one of the original names. The B-name is a new one.

• 174a Cranky FRANKIE - used before
• 174b Terrible TERRENCE - new name
• 174c Bad BRAD - used before
