What was your favorite cereal premium toy that you loved? Can be cereal or other related toy. Mine was definitely the Tang moon rover. There was also a Quisp spaceship that I vaguely remember that I loved.

There was a (Suger Crisp?) submersible submarine that I really enjoyed.
Also, anything monsters. I remember:
*mini-posters
*GITD plastic busts
*Freakies figurines
*Monster cereals figurines--Booberry was my favorite. I also sent away for a Count Chocula Hallowe'en costume!
I liked Quisp, but I don't recall any of its toys.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses. -
I had that rover and I LOVED it!
The only thing left is the back of one of the seats, and for giggles I used it as part of some kitbashed detail on a model.
I think it was from Super Sugar Crisp that we got a lot of Super Balls (semi-clear with glitter embedded), which were put to good use.
Some cereal (same one I think) offered plastic padlocks complete with plastic key. You could open the lock manually if you pulled it hard enough.
I think it was Honeycomb that offered a tiny terrarium, and I think I got a sprout going for a while.
Alpha Bits, maybe, offered a mailaway for a licence tag plate for your bike with your name on it. IIRC.Last edited by Treadwell; Jul 17, '19, 10:20 PM.Comment

Any cereal mascot figurine.Looking for Green Arrow accessories, Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver, and Japanese Popy Megos (Battle Cossack and France, Battle of the Planets, Kamen Rider, Ultraman) and World Heroes figuresComment

I really loved these when I was a kid. The Marlin and Ray were my favorites. I remember still having them when I got my Mego Aquaman, they were his buds. I don't remember what cereal they came in, the search I did states they were made by MPC and offered up by Nabisco. I honestly don't remember ever eating any Nabisco cereals.
Kellogg's, General Mills, Post, Quaker, Purina (to name a few) for certain, but Nabisco? Does anyone remember what kind of cereal they even made? Whatever it was, someone in my household ate enough of it because I remember having at least one of each of these, plus several doubles.
I also had a few of the Jungle Book premiums, King Louie was my fave.Last edited by Dark Shadow; Jul 17, '19, 10:22 PM.Comment

Back in the 70's a cereal (I forgot which) gave away a free tin United States mini car license plate for your bike.
They had all 50 states
I remember getting a few "junkie" States --- sorry unpopular States
Always wanted a California but could never get one.Comment

I remember those plates. I got Minnesota. Then I sent for the whole set. Wish I still had 'em.
They issued several sets throughout the years. Mine were in the late 80s.Looking for Green Arrow accessories, Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver, and Japanese Popy Megos (Battle Cossack and France, Battle of the Planets, Kamen Rider, Ultraman) and World Heroes figuresComment

I got some fun figurines from the Dark Knight when it came out in Honey Nut Cheerios. Still have some of them. For vintage cereal premiums I remember Fruity Pebbles having Fred Flintstone cars that you snapped together.Comment

The DC posters in Post Cereals, as well as the iron-ons they offered. Also, the baking soda submarine and dolphin in Cap'n Crunch!
