I'll admit it, I like the Powerpuff Girls. I find the concept highly amusing. Cute, sweet little girly girls who are actually lab-created crime fighting superheroes that beat up their enemies with such horrifically ultraviolent over the top tactics that would make the dude from Oldboy blanche. I mean, they were originally called The Whoopass Girls for Pete's sake. Craig McCracken is a talented dude, I like his quirky art style. I don't usually go for non- sports card, but this was in the 99c box at Target so I decided to give it a go. 5 trading cards and 1 foil chase card in every pack! I checked the back of the wrapper and there are 72 cards and 12 foils in the set. Do the math and that means the 'chase' cards are actually easier to pull than the base cards. Oh, well, they shiny so who cares.21 Mommy Fearest
I vaguely remember this episode (has this show been on the air in the past five years?). This mean looking lady with the huge hips seduces the Professor and becomes the Girls' mommy so she can keep them from fighting crime, especially the crimes she commits. Whoopass ensues.05 Insect Inside
aaaaaaaaah a jar full of cockroaches ick ick ick ick11 Powerpuff Bluff
In a show that has some very disturbing artistic choices (eg. the Mayor's bombshell secretary whose face is always cut out of the frame) old hairy guys dressing up as little girls is waaay up there on the list. And where the hell are that dude's legs?!50 Boogie Frights
Disco monsters in Zoot Suits. Much better.
69 Tough Love
Argh, I hate this guy! Him is my least favorite villain in the show. I hate his face, I hate his voice, I hate his clothes, I hate his lobster claws, I can't watch this guy. Apparently McCracken based Him on the Chief Blue Meanie from Yellow Submarine, and now that I think about it, I can totally see that. I still don't like Him.V1 Mojo Jojo Villain Foil Card
Yesssssssss! My favorite villain! How can anyone not love an evil Japanese mad scientist monkey madman! This pack = WIN.
Here's the back of the cards just for reference. As far as I know this is the only reference on the web for Artbox Powerpuff Girls cards, so I may as well be thorough about it. Unfortunately I have no clue what year these cards were made so it will always be lacking. Oh well, I'll just blame it on the boogie.
Note - Thanks to MDA for letting me know the date for this set!
