Ben 10 playing cards
Characters from the American animated television science fantasy series Ben 10.
Ben 10 is an animated television series about a 10-year-old boy named Ben Tennyson, who acquires a watch-style alien device called the “Omnitrix”. The show was created by Man of Action for Cartoon Network. Attached to his wrist, the watch allows Ben to transform into 10 different alien creatures with various different abilities, enabling him to fight evil from Earth and space with his cousin Gwen and grandfather Max. Ben, sporting his watch, appears on the Ks, while other characters are featured on the remaining cards (same designs in each suit). The red suit-signs and indices are printed in green, the predominant colour throughout the pack. The pack was published under the “Waddingtons Number 1” brand label.
