Awesome cereal collection!

 

I've been searching for the South African Kellogg's Frootloops MIMP box (which was very similar to the Frosties one if I remember correctly), and monsters, which were some of series 2 with a couple of series 1 thrown in. But I doubt it'll ever crop up. Us Saffas aren't known for hanging onto things like that, sadly. Those were the first I'd ever seen of series 2, and was blown away by the new neon colours of orange, blue, purple, and green, as the original series 1 in SA had neon reds and yellows. Series 2 is by far my favourite of all the MIMPs.

 

I do have the cereal box for the MIMP Sports Stars, as well as (I think) all of those MIMPs sealed; one of them is a black blind bag containing four of them, and I believe one of them is Tony the Tiger, the only one I don't have in a see-through sealed bag.

Thanks, I've been working on it for some time now. Although my last purchase for anything cereal related was months ago. It's nice having a mixed bag of goodies instead of just mimps and boglins all the time.  :D In total I have around 96 pieces I think. All Frosties related freebies dating from the late 80's to the late 90's.

 

Ironically your avatar is the final missing piece in my Kellogg's puzzle and also featured on front of the box promotion. And yeah I agree there are many likable characters in the 2nd series, but mashing them together with a few 1st series figures is kinda weird though wouldn't you agree? It just don't make no sense! lol  :blink:

 

Are you also aware of both Honey Nut Loops mimp promos? 8 different S1 figs in 1992, and the send away sets of dinosaurs a year later (9 to collect in total). Safe to say the UK was the cat that got the cream when it came to this toy line back in it's heyday haha!  :)
