>toy surprises are coming back to cereal boxesTHE WORLD IS HEALING
I was an only child so I wouldn't know, but I would imagine that possessing the collectible spoon is a major indicator of social heirarchy among siblings.
>You better give me the spoon when you find it!
I'm a little underwhelmed by these spoons. I know they're based off the 90's ones but I remember how indulgent the later prizes got. Bendy toys, pull pack racers, light-up spoon-sabers. I guess every journey starts with one step but I'll pass on these.
>>11770432It appears that the spoons have a face cap to double them as little figures, which is alright. >>11770421Kids were supposed to take turns as to who gets the next cereal toy, but the oldest brother always has to be an asshole who got them all.
>>11770421since my siblings and I all had different tastes the general rule of thumb is "whatever came with your cereal was yours"only real exception was that brief period in the late 90's when they came with whole-ass video games (chex quest famously, but I know I got various cheap licensed things like a who wants to be a millionaire game and monopoly)>>11770432the spoon lightsabers circa ROTS were cool as hell
>>11770292I don't have the same nostalgia for cereal prizes as much as I thought. I was more interested in the mail in stuff I never sent for. My last prize though would be one of the DiC DVD's
>>11770525I noticed, and it is appreciated, but it feels very low rent compared to yesteryear's offerings. I guess they're just there to appease nostalgic 30 somethings who'll go watch TS5
>>11770532>the fucking mando movie comes out in a week>the dumb shitheads at disney couldnt make pic related happen again>instead its some dogshit burger king promotion focused on that ugly cunt baby yodaThat's how you know this franchise is permafucked
>>11770567There aren't a bunch of lightsabers in this movie though.
>>11770525>but the oldest brother always has to be an asshole who got them allI'd always let my younger brothers get what they wanted. The thermo color change spoons were cool, but I let them have them all. The only time I called dibs was during the Revenge of the Sith lightsaber spoon promo because I wanted a red one. We ended up getting multiples of each, but the red one took the longest to score.
>>11770567>the dumb shitheads at disney couldnt make pic related happen againThey're too cheap and greedy>instead its some dogshit burger king promotion focused on that ugly cunt baby yodaBaby-yoda's novelty wore off years ago. People don't give a shit now. The only people who'll be buying are the "STAR WARS IS FOR EVERYONE. THERE ARE MORE OF US" retards. >>11770569I was always elbow-deep into the cereal box to get to the toy only for my older brother to snatch it and make it his once it's out. It was frustrating.
>>11770568Star wars is on it's last legs culturally and financially. Nobody gives a shit if the tie ins arent thematically relevant to the film. The point should be to excite people about star wars and they're just fundamentally incapable of doing that whatsoever.
>>11770691At the absolute latest this movie should have been out in early 2025. Even by then these characters had already grown stale and uninteresting. Now it's been 3 full years since there was any natural hype or excitement for any of this shit and nobody cares. The mando movie reminds me of that direct to walmart bargain bin Sin City sequel that came out in the mid-2010's. It's that much of a fart in the wind
bump with more of your favorite cereal prizes
>>11770741It's culturally irrelevant now. There's no bringing it back to what it used to be. Box office poison like Pedro Pascal will only make things worse.
>>11770745
>>11770556unironically coolI would love to have this DVD because i put some cartoons on background
If they don't want to include anything, then they should at least bring back mail-away premiums instead of the crap of "THIS BOX PAYS FOR A TRANS BLACK BOY WHO IDENTIFIES AS A MEXICAN WOMAN FROM CHINA TO HAVE A BOOK THEY CAN RELATE TO" bullshit. Fuck that. I'd rather have cheap toys.
When that movie Golden Compass (with a girl and talking Polar Bears and etc.) came out - i got one and got one of these neat compasses that had some gimmicks.This was the last time i had the breakfast + toy.but i bought it just for the toy - i never liked these godawful breakfast slop.I remember it took me more than a month to finish eating it (i was just grabbing some flakes to eat them as snaks from time to time)If you live outside of USA in Europe - these types of breakfast are horrible food-slop.Like...why would you eat that and not that top tier food you can have in Italy or France for breakfast lmao.In my country if you getting these as a kid - your parents don't care about you
>>11770790The toys were part of the corporate culture. They were called premiums to intice kids and parents into picking a certain brand over all the others. And with there still being too many choices for cereal, bringing them back is a nice way to lure in buyers.
>blind box collectibles are big business now>that's exactly what cereal toys are, but with cereal>cereal-makers not cashing in on it
>>11770745>RobotsMan I would kill for modern toys of that movie.
>>11770798I had a blue Wacky Wallwalker. It was a lot of fun at first, but it quickly picked up dust and lost its stickiness. You were supposed to wash them off with dish soap to regain their stickiness, but it never was the same after that.
wasn't my favorite or anything but one of the last ones I remember getting before I was officially "too old" for that kinda stuff (both sugary cereals and toys, I guess) was a tie-in for the dark knight. the one I had was the joker and it sat on my desk as a trinket for a while
I guess it’s something but not enough. The attack on sovl will continue
>>11770842You're never too old for cereal or collecting toys.
i kept the dino figures with me for a while, I enjoyed them even though they're just static toys
>>11770783>>11770790>>11770798Good taste flows like water in this thread.>>11770767Eitherway I would have bought a box of sugary poison if I got a lightsaber spoon out of it.
>>11770801Welcome to the corporate dysfunction of 2020's America.>>11770805Same here. I wish it had been a bigger hit. Robots merited merchandising more than Ice Age ever really did. Those old mattel toys are very rare and fragile these days too. It sucks.
>>11770842I remember the spiderman 3 versions
>>11770932Post really should just include generic dinosaur prize toys in every box of fruity pebbles. That'd sell more than the women's rights boxes ever would.
>>11770786me too, but each disc contained one segment per the two cartoons.
The Speed Racer cars are the last ones I remember getting out of a cereal box.
>>11770567I remember the Episode 3 spoons. All those cereals trying to get a green one, but only ever finding red ones.
>>11771487Funny considering I pulled two green ones as a kid when I most wanted blue
>>11771487I got two yellow ones then gave up
>>11770292Unlike kids meal toys, I honestly can't think of a single toy I cared about that ever came out of a cereal box.
