Toys TOYS

Kellogg's collectables

Breakfast was great in the 80s with collectable toys in the Cornflakes. My favourites were characters from the Willow movie (you always got about 3 of the one you never wanted), the real floating submarines (insert baking soda to work) and a model Spitfire for the Battle of Britain anniversary (only if you collected enough tokens tough).

Kellogg's started adding collectibles into their cereal as a marketing tool and a way of enticing children to their brand.

Kellogg's collectibles have ranged from intricate metal car models to mini Sesame Street beanbags and Tony the Tiger plush toys.

    Kellogg's had collectables in the 1950s and 1960s, which included plastic dinosaur models (rather small, each about 2-3" long with a flat base that had the creatures name embossed in it) and - a personal favourite - the Jigtoys. These were a range of small models which came in about 6 interlocking pieces that had to be slid or pressedinto place, like a 3D jigsaw puzzle. I think there were six to collect: a jeep, a ship, a helicopter, a plane and a couple of others - great fun!

    I totally remember these collectables, particularly the "Willow" cardboard cutouts, and I wonder what's changed so that they're no longer included in cereals. This morning I emailed Kellogg's to ask why this change happened. I wonder if they'll get back to me.
