2006 marks the 100
th anniversary of the Kellogg Company, and Dark Horse is excited to be a part of the celebration! We are pleased to offer four 8" vinyl figures as the first Kellogg's items in our program: Cornelius, Tony the Tiger, Sugar Pops Pete, and Toucan Sam. Plus, the first in a new line of syroco statues based on the Vintage Kellogg's characters.
Each vinyl character appears in their original iconic "vintage" design and is approzimately 8". Our Tony the Tiger statue is inspired by images of Tony from the Kellogg's archives, but also recalls the 1940's sculpting and painting style of syroco statues.
Now, you can collect all the great Kelloggs characters that have been your favorites since childhood. Kellogg's Frosted Flakes' Tony the Tiger roared onto the scene with his trademark growl, "They're Gr-r-reat!" way back in 1951. Cornelius the Rooster has remained a permanent fixture on the Kellogg's Corn Flakes box since 1958. Toting his sugar-spraying pistol, Sugar Pops Pete made Kellogg's Sugar Pops cereal a hit and he turned many villains sweet along the way. Finally, there's the famous fruit connoisseur, Toucan Sam, who debuted in 1963 and introduced kids to "Toucanese" or "Toucan Talk," which was the best way to say OOT-FRAY OOPS-LAY.
