Funko announced its newest line of Pop! vinyl figures last week, Pop! Ad Icons, and its first wave includes three of General Mills’ most iconic characters: Count Chocula, Franken Berry and Boo Berry. If you’re in your 20s and 30s then just the mention of these animated spokesmen should transport you back to a simpler time of Saturday morning cartoons and incredibly sugary cereal! While my mom would never let me eat Count Chocula, Franken Berry or Boo Berry cereal, I loved watching these animated advertisements anytime they came on the screen. I can’t wait to see what other General Mills characters Funko has in the works. Might we see the Trix Rabbit, Yummy Mummy or the Honey Nut Cheerios Bee!?!
Each General Mills Pop! Ad Icons vinyl figure stands 3.75” tall, has a rotating head and comes in a displayable window box. While these 3 figures are not expected to ship until September 2011, you can already pre-order them from Entertainment Earth here for $9.99 each.
