Product
The standard Slammer Whammers product was a blister pack containing 24 milkcaps and 2 slammers. Imperial Toy Corp. released various sets of milkcaps under the Slammer Whammers name, for example Biker Bugs, Wise Guys, Skull Squad and Wild Things.
There were 288 slammer whammers to collect. This 288 set comprised 12 individual sets of 24 caps to collect. There were also sets of 24 caps that were not part of the 288 big set. (for example Dino Dudes, Ink Drops, Pure Poison, Cyberdudes, Mini Monsters and Splatter Bugs.)
In 2006, Funrise Toy Corporation relaunched their brand of pogs, so Imperial Toy Corp. decided to revive "Slammer Whammers". The motive behind this move was if pogs become popular again like in 1994, Imperial Toy Corp. would be ready with their product in the marketplace.

Famous quotes containing the word product:
“The site of the true bottomless financial pit is the toy store. It’s amazing how much a few pieces of plastic and paper will sell for if the purchasers are parents or grandparent, especially when the manufacturers claim their product improves a child’s intellectual or physical development.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“For man is not the creature and product of Mechanism; but, in a far truer sense, its creator and producer.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
“The history is always the same the product is always different and the history interests more than the product. More, that is, more. Yes. But if the product was not different the history which is the same would not be more interesting.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
