Favorite vintage cereal premiums.

[Werewolf]

Remember when the toy surprise in a box of cereal was actually a toy? Now it's usually just light up spoons and stuff you have to mail in for.

Here's my favorite. Lady and the Tramp from Rice Krispies. I think these are from the mid 50s. My mom has fond memories of collecting these when she was little.

[PNGwynne]

My favorites were those Aurora-esque glow monster busts.

I don't have any now--which characters did they do? I seen to recall Wolfman & Mummy.

[BendyZaius]

They made Wolfman, Mummy, Frank and Phantom. They are favorites of mine too. I have the Wolfman and Phantom with a scan of the original Sugar Crisp box front and back. Very cool.

[PNGwynne]

^Yeah, it was Sugar Pops! Ohh, I love Phantom stuff--can you post a pic?

I liked just about anything Flintstones related from Fruity Pebbles.

I remember when I was a real little kid I loved Quisp and had my dad sent the.50 or whatever with the box tops for the head propeller thing he wore. I checked the mail box for months, nothing, never came. My fist mail order ripoff!

[Mok]

I remember Freakies cereal .

[Remco Monster]

Yes, the UM Aurora busts are favorites of mine as well. Though I only have the Mummy in my collection as of now.



Also love the Creeping Monsters...



Freakies figurines and cars....



ANYTHING Monster Cereal



Those monster pens that had glow in the dark tops and wrote in invisible ink. Sadly, I don't have any.

And the list goes on.

I remember having those Freakies figures and cars. Loved them.

[Bruce Banner]

My favourite cereal toys were the plastic pencil holders shaped like the robots from The Black Hole, back in 1979.
I remember there was Maximillian, V.I.N.Cent, Sentry Robot and Old B.O.B.... maybe there were others too.
I can't remember exactly which cereal they came in, though....
