Kellogg's Corn Flakes Playmobil Promotion

I found an interesting photo showing a 1977 box of Kellogg's Australia Corn Flakes, with a Kenbrite Pocket People (Playmobil) mail-in offer. It appears that you could send in the coupon (and 50c) to receive a Playmobil figure. 

Does anyone have an example of this box? I know there are some hardcore cereal collectors out there who must have seen it in their travels, I'd love to present a colour picture here on Toltoys.com!

You can get me on email will(at)toltoys(dot)com anytime...

Cheers!

Indy Coco-Pops Premiums

A few weeks ago I featured the Indiana Jones Coco Pops box from the Temple of Doom tie-in. 

Inside each box was a card premium which broke apart to reveal two picture cards from the movie, one photo and one sketch jigsaw piece. 

The same design was used for the Kellogs Ewok Adventure cards which I'll feature in a future post.

Just like a chocolate milkshake only Indy!

In 1984 Kelloggs thought they were on to a sure-fire winner with their Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom cereal tie-in. 

Unfortunately there was an outcry from parents and family groups over the horror and occult themes featured in the film. Squeaky clean Kelloggs was of course already committed to their Temple of Doom competition featuring on kid's classic such as Coco Pops, I imagine they didn't hurry to extend the production once the flak hit the fan. 

As a 13 year old at the time I was of course all over this, fighting off siblings to collect as many of the game cards as I could (I'll be featuring them later this week) but failing to win one of the LJN figure sets as featured on the pack. 

The LJN figures came and went at retail without much fanfare, there were very clunky looking and probably also suffered from the same fate as Kenner's 1979 Alien figure - i.e. scared the bejesus out of kids and parents alike. "Hey kids, watch Mola Ram pull Indy's still-beating heart from his chest!" Hours of fun for all.

More Indy coming this week...

Ewok Adventure Kelloggs Tie-In

Hot on the heels of the TV spot for the Kelloggs Return of the Jedi competition I posted last week comes another lost Aussie Star Wars TV spot; an ad for the Kelloggs promotional tie-in with the Ewok Adventure movie in the mid 80's.



Enjoy!

Kellogg's Decoder Disks


How cool is this? Thanks to the keen eyes of Nick Macarty over at Rebelscum.com I'm able to bring you the Kellogg's TV spot from the 1980's promotional tie-in with the Return of the Jedi.



Wonderful!
