Monsters with KAWS

I greatly lament the change from an all year to seasonal that the Monster Cereals underwent some time ago. I love them so. That being said, every year I make a point to eat plenty of the gang as they reappear on stores shelves for a limited time. Each time they do something different and I appreciate that. It's fun. Last year General Mills collaborated with artist KAWS for box art of the gang in his trademark style. Each box also contained a code that could be entered for a chance to win a set of the gang in the vein of old school cereal prizes. Guess who won a set? The classic trio and Fruit Brute are represented here matching their KAWS designs and look great. The only thing that could make this better would be including  Yummy Mummy and the newest Monster Cereal character Carmella Creeper.

Dig That Mad Scientist Monster Kit

Smacks is a pretty good cereal, but I can't lie, it takes a good prize inside for me to get a box. I don't have to explain how badass the glow in the dark (swoon) Mad Scientist sticker set was. I've already expressed my appreciation for Mad Scientist here before, but man what a great toy line. As an adult I still love it's imagery and just looking at this ad for it just does it for me. Too gross, too yucky, too perfect.

The stickers in this set was pretty great. If you'll notice in the below back of box art, you'll see the paper insert with the perfect backdrop for bringing these freaks to life on. The stickers were an assortment of parts, enough to make three monsters with. Either with matching parts or mismatch together some real weirdos. There's no wrong way to be a Mad Scientist.
