Thanks to Toltoys Kid reader “robspromos” I’m delighted to present the complete set of shrinkie premiums from the 1979 Nabisco Weeties Australia cereal tie-in.

It appears that you could send in the coupon (and 50c) to receive a Playmobil figure. Does anyone have an example of this box?

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 … Read More “Indiana Jones Kelloggs Premiums” »
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 … Read More “1984 Kelloggs Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” »
