Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cereal Bowls Promotion

Ralston cereal followed-up their very popular 1989 Batman cereal bank promotion by packing bowls on boxes of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cereal. There were four bowls in all and the best part was you could see what you were getting on the outside of the box, so there was no guesswork. These can be rather difficult to find and fetch a decent price, typically $40 to $60 loose and up to that for each box sealed.

Kellogg's Star Wars C-3P0's Cereal Promotions

In 1984 fans of all ages were introduced to Star Wars C-3PO's cereal! These little figure-eight shaped delights were produced by Kellogg's and included a handful of memorable cereal toy promotions.

This is possibly the most famous of the Star Wars cereal promotions, the cut-out masks These came in designs featuring Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Yoda, Storm Trooper or C-3PO himself. 

This one is my personal favorite, the Star Wars sticker cards. I really enjoyed collecting these as a kid. You would get two stickers per box, there was a total of 10 in that promotion.

This final promotion offered a pack-in Star Wars Rebel Rocket and a mail-away for Kenner figures with 3 UPCs.
