Following
on from the popularity of their first
series, Kellogg's issued a second series comprising of eight characters
in six different colours...
Red, Green,
Grey, Yellow,
Dark Blue and Light
Blue.
The extra characters over the first series were Ermintrude and Mr Rusty.
Both of these series have been my all-time favourite cereal toys (along
with the Nabisco Magic Roundabout
series) and I have always thought it a shame that there wasn't a third
series with even more of the characters, such as Rosalie, Basil and
Paul. I find these original plain colour plastic toys far more appealing
than the more modern giveaway toy.
The image below is an advert from a 'Teddy Bear' comic in 1970 that
I have in my collection. If anyone has a decent colour scan of the original
cereal box back, I'd be really grateful to receive a copy for this page
(with source acknowledgement).
