Here is a video from Cerealmad, on the toys that came in packets of breakfast cereal. In this case, the Prehistoric Animals, by Nabisco Shreddies, from 1958.
This was a set of 20 semi-flat figures – mostly dinosaurs, and a few Ice Age mammals. There are close-ups of all the figures.
Paul Adams from New Zealand
Whoa! I wonder if any lucky child collected all 20? That would be worth a king's ransom today! SFZ
ReplyDeleteYep, I bet SF!
DeleteMy wife has a couple, scavenged from collector fairs in the 80's...
ReplyDeleteGood word that Looey, scavenged. It's what we do at boot sales!
DeleteIf anyone has the blue plastic coloured stegosaurus, from the New Zealand version of the set, which is a different mould to the white/cream set in the video, I need it bad - denis@gojak.au
