That's the challenge. The toyline is so obscure, there's not a huge demand for it. Blow Hard in his package might be worth something for someone seeking the toy. That’s the challenge.

The date on it is 1987. Is it worth anything? I found a Blow hard in its original package while cleaning out my husband closet at his mothers house. The date on it is 1987. Is it worth anything?

As far as the Cosby reference goes, I figured it was unrelated... I just thought the coincidental reference was funny. @OX Bigly – Yeah, this is definitely a cash-in on the gross-era of toys started by the GPKs.

I think the "Gross Out Gang" mentioned in the Cosby show has absolutely nothing to do with these toys. I think they came up with the idea to somewhat hint at the GPKs. I just wish I can find the sceen from the Cosby show so I can hear what the "GOG" says on the TV Thanks This toy line was trying to cash in on the fame of the Garbage Pail Kids.
