Halloween Countdown 2009 Day 23: Cap'n Crunch's Halloween Crunch

I bought a box of Cap'n Crunch's Halloween Crunch a few weeks ago when it was on sale at the local Wally World. The jolly cereal captain was wrapped up like a mummy on the front of the box. The so-called ghosts were more like round blobs than actual shapes. The milk did turn a light green but the effect worked best in a red bowl. The back of the cereal box was the real treat since it had Cap'n Crunch's Haunted Mansion filled with games like word search and scrambled letters. More spooky games can be found at Cap'n Crunch's official site.

Now this is luck for I could have used today's post for Women Wednesday but I won't. Here is the complete Wonder Woman in "The Angle Menace!" that was found in Super Sugar Crisp cereal in 1980:

Post Super Heroes Mini Comics And Game Cards

In 1980, Post cereal offered mini comics featuring DC Super Heroes in their cereal boxes. The only cereal that I remember getting them in is Super Sugar Crisp. I would have been fifteen at the time when this came out in the stores.

There were four mini comics in the set with each having sixteen pages. I managed to get a complete set plus an extra one featuring the Super Heroes. Each measure 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" (however, there were some that not cut exactly to size). The mini comics include Super Heroes (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Robin) in "The Secret of the Sinister Lighthouse!", Batman in "The Joker's Last Laugh!", Superman in "Terra-Man's Skyway Robbery!" and Wonder Woman in "The Angle Menace!" There really should have been a fifth mini comic featuring Aquaman since he is featuring in "The Secret of the Sinister Lighthouse!" Robin is not only in the Super Heroes adventure but also in the Batman one.

Each of the mini comics came with a instant winner game card. The game cards measure 2 1/2" x 3 1/4". There are six stars that you must scratch off and match with the top star. The prizes included a trip to Hollywood, bicycle, kite, comic book and flying disc. The prize box is located in the lower right hand corner and none of mine were winners. What I like about these game cards is that not only does the big guns appear but also some Golden Age super heroes like Dr. Mid-Nite, Flash and Green Lantern. Batgirl and Captain Marvel also appear. I did find it odd that the Riddler is one of my game cards. I do not five game cards because I remember getting two featuring Robin at the top (I either used it for something else or tossed it).

Starfleet Command Badge

I decided to pick up a box of Kellogg's Corn Pops yesterday since it was on sale. I did not get the toy until this morning before I mowed the grass. I lucked out and found the Starfleet Command Badge. I only need the Starfleet Science and Klingon Empire badges to complete the set.

Kellogg's Star Trek Beam-Up Badges Ceral Boxes

Here are pictures finally of the only Kellogg's Froot Loops and Rice Krispies cereal boxes that I broke down and got for the Star Trek Beam-Up Badges (click for larger pictures):

Romulan Empire Badge

I found this Romulan Empire badge in a box of Froot Loops as part of Kellogg's Star Trek beam-up badge premium toys collection and emits a green beam of light when the center is pressed:

Now I only need three more to finish the set.

Star Trek Beam-Me Up Badge

I like Star Trek much better than Star Wars but I cannot see the new movie on the big screen due to finances. However, I just had to get a box of Kellogg's Rice Krispies so I can obtain a Star Trek Beam-Me Up Badge. I like the cereal and I like the toy even better. The set has five badges: three Starfleet (command, engineering and science), one Klingon and one Romulan. I managed to obtain the engineering beam-me up badge that lights up when you press a button on the side.

Here are some pictures of my Star Trek Beam-Me Up Badge:
