The whole reason I joined this site was looking for these for my autistic son, he loves transformers and he loves modeling with paper I remembered these and have scoured the web for any trace of them I've emailed kellogs and weetabix they coulnt be bothered to even reply with a no. People my age just look at me as if I've cracked up when I talk about this kind of thing (only 37 we had the best of this kind of thing growning up and no one seems to remember but me) pehaps I was easily pleased as a kid but hey thank you again and again hes going to love these.
      Best regards

        Trying to remember a couple of cereal promotions. Maybe someone here will know more about them (year or pix etc)?

        1) First one is Frosties box where you cut out the shape of a car on the back and then fold and glue the flat bit of cardboard to make a solid shaped card. The car had some sort of "Tony the tiger" striped pattern to it.

        2) I don't know the second cereal was but it had a toy which was a "rubber car" (i.e. a toy car that could also be used as an eraser for pencil marks).

        Thanks

          Anyone else remember the Nabisco Shredded Wheat and Crispies 'Soldiers of the World' gifts?
          They were very well detailed and I remember using Humbrol model paint on them. Think I've still got the Viking somewhere;

            I remember the sticker sets that came with Sugar Puffs. I also had a red Sugar Puffs bag with the HM Honey Monster logo on the end. Also Rice Krispies Transport fleet- little models of trucks(concrete mixer, tipper etc) that came in kit form. Also the baking powder powered boats. I remember the Frosties Jeep. A die cast one in black and orange that you had to send off tokens for. The last thing I ever got from sending off cereal tokens was the Thunderbird 2 when Kelloggs did the Thunderbirds promotion in the early 90s. I always remember getting those bike wheel reflectors out of the corn flakes boxes. I must have had at least 30 as we were a big Kelloggs family! No Nabisco products for us although I used to love Weetabix with hot milk and brown sugar.

              I ended up with loads of the Kelloggs bike reflectors as well - you could get them across all the range they had back then, not just Frosties I think...I also still am partial to a bowl of Weetabix, hot milk and brown sugar, well I prefer natural sugar to the refined white muck in general really...I think as the years went on the packed in freebies got worser and worser i.e. cheaper - I once saw an old ad with Donald Campbell saying there was a free diecast model of one of his vehicles in every pack of Frosties - imagine that, a DIECAST toy in a cereal box...as if that'd happen now!

                                I remember them, they were all famous Indian chiefs in a light yellow/cream colour. They were in two halves (Back of head, front of head) that you pushed together to make a compleat head. Sorry,but I can't remember which cerial they came with.
