    Grail found!!!!!!

    OK, this one might be a little askew for some but man am I happy! I finally found it! Sea Monkeys 3 in One box!!!!! Yeah! I know it's not a toy but it was a big part of my childhood. It's gonna be proudly displayed and enjoyed. Loooooooooooove the art on the box. Joe Orlando art? Anyone know? Here's a pic with my original childhood Gijoe and Big Josh and some reclaimed Freakies. MMMMMHHHHMMM good, 1970s goodness! Pic needs some Megos sitting or displayed on top maybe. Gotta figure out where I want to display this one. This grail showed up out of nowhere and I was the only bidder! Great luck! Vintage Sea Monkey items can go very high in bidding so I was really fortunate. Oh yeah box is copyright 1972 for those who wondered.

      Very cool. I remember ordering my Sea Monkeys from a Comic Book ad. Many years later I was feeding Sea Monkeys to my Discus and Angelfish.

            Wow, that’s really neat! Seriously cool. I wasn’t aware a set like this existed. 1972 date just adds to it.

                Congrats.
                Can't say I have ever actually seen a sea monkey in my life.

                But that does look cool. Happy for your find.

                  Probably my favorite cereal premiums. I've been slowly collecting them over the last couple years, plus the little cars, and think I have all but the octopus guy.

                    The sea monkeys ad in comic books is iconic. Every kid wanted one. Cool item for your collection. Love the packaging too

                          do you have the freakies magnets?
                          I know there's still one on the bathroom mirror at my parents' house!
                          (down the hall from my bedroom where the door still has the wacky packs stickers and the sticker from the KISS rockandrollover lp that my mom could never peel all the way off)

                            Had the Freakie magnets but sold everything when economy got wonky years back. Slowly finding my lost favorites again. Funny you mention the stickers. We moved and my closet door was covered with Charlie's Angels stickers on the inside. The people who bought our house in 1979 their son loved them! LOL Those stickers were not coming off.
