Go To

Toyline

  • No Export for You: Some exclusive variants of figures have only been released in certain countries. This can even bar Australia, the home country of Moose Toys, from having these variants.
  • Referenced by...:
    • The parody sticker line Wacky Packages released a parody of the franchise for the 2017 60th anniversary line, parodied as "Grossery Pre-Filled Trash Bags".
    • A commercial for Flush Force, despite being from Spin Master instead of Moose, has a Greaseburger figure and Dodgey Donut's exclusive action figure-packed figure among the Flushies during the wide shot of the commercial, each seen on a toilet by the sides of the screen.
  • Show Accuracy/Toy Accuracy: The static artwork for the characters often has various color changes than the figures. Also, the webseries versions of characters often gain limbs, which are absent in the toyline.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • Preliminary art seen in the old sizzle reel and at the Toy Fairs reveals that the Grosseries were going to have colored irises, and not just dot pupils.
    • Sticky Soda was originally designed to be colored dark green, rather than light blue. Use of this design was seen in the prototype sizzle reel and on promo boards at the 2016 Toy Fair, and can still be seen in the standee models at Toys R Us.
    • The Series 2 Mega Pack contained pictures of Grosseries that never came to have figures, such as an onion ring Grossery and a maple syrup one.
    • Busted Boxing Gloves originally had white lining their elastic bands, as seen in various playset setups that use their original figure models. They were released proper with elastic bands that match their glove color.
    • Series 2 originally was set to have cards released for the trading card game. A few drawings were released by Paul Harvey, the artist of the series, but the cards never were released.

Webseries

  • Actor-Shared Background: Ricardo is Hispanic, like his voice actor, Nicolas Roye.
  • Acting for Two: There is a small amount of voice actors in the series, with each of them voicing more than one character in various scenarios. This has included:
  • Cross-Dressing Voices:
    • The first season of the webseries has Jade Ubrien voicing the main five Grosseries, meaning Pizza Face, Rocky, Doc Broc, and Egghead are all voiced by a woman. Pizza Face and Rocky would later swap over to male voice actors.
    • During the second season of the webseries, Doc Broc and Egghead's new voices are performed by women (Laila Berzins and Alexandra Ryan, respectively), continuing from the first season.
  • The Other Darrin: Jade Ubrien was originally the voice of all five of the Series 1 Grosseries in the webseries. Once Series 2 rolled around, her roles were split up by different actors: Nicolas Roye as Pizza Face, Laila Berzins as Sparkles and Doc Broc, Alexandra Ryan as Egghead, and Spike Spencer as Rocky.
  • Voices in One Room: Various Instagram pictures of the voice actors has shown them utilizing this.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • The sizzle reel reveals that Fungus Fries was prepped to be in the webseries much earlier, while for the longest time he was just relegated to an Advertised Extra, despite having heavy coverage in the promo artwork and getting one of the long bios the webseries characters get. He eventually made his webseries debut in Series 4, three season after his release. In the webseries, he is given the name "Chips McGraw", rather than his preliminary webseries name of "French Fry Head".
    • Dodgey Donut's webseries name was originally "Donut Brain", instead of "Rocky".
