Hi Woodsie, I was just reading Will Osborne's post about identifying R&L cereal premiums.
Did you know Crater Critters were made in Australia?
I have a copy of this book by Craig L Hall Breakfast Barons Cereal Critters and the Rosenhain and Lipmann Legacy.
It really is THE BIBLE for this subject. I bought my copy back in 2006 and it is out of print and hard to find now but it really is worth hunting for.
Despite some dodgy layout design choices and colour photography, it's packed with amazing facts and is brilliantly researched.
I'll just drop a few pics of the book to aid anyone who wants to search it out.
Despite the exhaustive detective work that has gone into it, there is no mention of Gerry Anderson merchandise.
Although the Sugar Smacks Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet model kits were obviously in the R&L format, they don't have the characteristic trademark logo.
Have you done a specific blog post about the Anderson cereal releases? I do wonder where Century 21 got their smaller models and figures manufactured (I had a Jeff Tracy figure as a kid)
Anyway, on with the hunt for anyone who wants to own this fabulous book!
Have you got one?
Cheers, Looey

Hey Looey - can you show the 1970 Totem Tribe page please? Ive been trying to find this book for years! I think the Anderson toys were contracted to a different company, as they dont have any TM on them Bill
ReplyDeleteI'll email it to Woodsie.

That is a very impressive looking book. Thanks for showing it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind mention of my book. It is still in print and can be obtained direct from me, or from Abbeys Books Sydney, and keep a watch for when I list it on ebay. Craig Hall annodomini100@outlook.com or old school mail PO Box 9084 Harris Park 2150 NSW Australia
