There are definitely a whole gang they could do for McDonald's. Grimace, Hamburglar, Fry Guys, etc. Could also do the Burger King, although he is a bit creepy.

I think Chester Cheetah would be absolutely awesome!

burger king guy is definitely creepy. has some v vendetta in him.

I would say kfc guy but he is currently being tainted by their current ad campaign.

An entire fast food series would be awesome! The Colonel, Ronald McDonald and friends (Grimace, Hamburglar, etc), Jack, The Noid, Wendy, and The King!

Then there are other mascots like the Pilsbury Dough Boy, Jolly Green Giant, the Hamburger Helper glove, the Kool-Aid Man, Punchy, the Keebler Elves, Chester Cheetah, the Nesquick Bunny, Mr. Peanut, the Snuggle Bear and others that would be great too.

I hope Funko doesn't limit themselves to cereals!

I would love all of these. Lil Cesars pizza guy.

I knew I missed someone! It was bothering me that I couldn't think of him. lol

I'm kind of ticked I missed out on the Tony the Tiger. I had no idea it was even coming out.

You would think 3,000 is a decent amount? Apparently not though

Time to wait half a year until it settles down to the $60-$80 range I'm guessing =\

I took the ebay hit early today because I was so annoyed I missed it. so hard to tell where the price goes with these things. so I just went with the 43 dollar one. feeding the people who prevented me from getting it. I will just eat baloney sandwiches tonight and tomorrow lunch and mentally say I broke even.

self-enabler

$43 honestly ain't too bad, I was away from the computer during that 15 minute window between Funko sending the email and putting it live on their website so I never stood a chance. I hadn't bought anything from the Funko Shop in a while but I thought they normally put items up around 10:00 PST

my penalty for missing out was 20 bucks. but I gota have my cereal guys. if only I could shake my need for both the pops and dorbz. and ridez.

they used to be close to clockwork at around 8am pacific. then they started fluttering before and after 8am. with the email as a slight 10 minute warning something is coming.

team refresh haha.

I second that! Metallic would be great as well!

I'm also in the camp of having missed Tony.

Others that would be cool are Cap'n Crunch, Trix Rabbit, and Toucan Sam. Oh, and a Snap, Crackle, Pop 3-pack.

And u got it...and its sold out...

Yeah, he was long gone by the time I saw it this morning. Oh well.

well. I am officially furious. the ebay purchase I made the seller cancelled because he can make more money off of it now than before.

do I need to post this in the I am mad section ?

sorry to hear that man, I've come to terms with the fact I'm going to pay thru the nose for this guy. Too many childhood memories to not have him.

Postby **CaseyJones14** » Wed May 31, 2017 4:36 pm

I'm just amazed that people are paying that much right out of the gate. This just gives flippers more power and it's only going to get worse - sigh.

I thinks it two reasons, first being the other cereal mascots flucuate in the 100 dollar price range( I know they are vaulted but I figure the 3000 piece count on Tony makes it a wash. And secondly Tony the tiger is more popular than all the cereal monsters combined, I'm hoping the ebay listings level off but I've resigned myself to the fact I'll most likely be paying in the 70-100 price range

It doesn't surprise me at all that someone who is putting it up on eBay before it's even shipped is willing to back out of a deal to make more money unfortunately

Postby **valorandvellum** » Wed May 31, 2017 5:06 pm

I wasn't expecting to buy anything this morning, but man Tony the Tiger hit me right in my childhood feels. If they do Lucky Charms, Toucan Sam, and Trix as well, I'm gonna be in trouble.

Like everyone else, I'm amazed at how quickly this sold out and how crazy the secondary market is. I must be terrible at predicting what the hot items are gonna be because I never would've guessed that Frosted Flakes would be the one that everyone wants.

I wonder if you could leave negative feedback for the seller for cancelling the order? That's not right at all.

Postby **aztecas101** » Wed May 31, 2017 5:09 pm

Negative feedback is def in order, you should inquire about that.... no free passes

Just wait for Captain Crunch...with crunchberrries.

Two minutes tops! lol

Bit of a shame, Is have loved one of these - I guess Tony is pretty much the only cross-Atlantic cereal mascot (though we call them Frosties!).

Don't suppose there's any chance of a Coco the Monkey or Honey Monster

He should be able to, I've had orders cancelled on ebay before and have left negative marks

Unfortunately no. I'm a bit of a night owl and tend to sleep through the new releases. I always intend to set an alarm but alas...

It's a shame that the feedback doesn't stop the seller from listing the same item for a higher price.

Postby **aztecas101** » Wed May 31, 2017 5:14 pm

Night owl status as well, I work nights, travel lots, lately I've fallen off with being able to stay up as late as I used to just to wait. And it was worst when it used to be 10am

Postby **iRomey74** » Wed May 31, 2017 5:19 pm

I want the Cinnamon Toast Crunch chef, Cap'n Crunch, coco puffs guy, I can't think of the others but I have hopes for good ones

Report to ebay on the auction relisting. Ebay honors buyers

I wonder if it's a licensing issue or something where a limit of 3,000 units is cheaper or easier to do and if they make any more than that they have to pay a larger amount to Kellogg's or something?

It's funny, the weirdest pops end up being the most desirable. I'm pretty sure at least one of the flippers on ebay have never eaten a bowl of frosted flakes in their life.

Maybe be glad that you're not giving your money to that guy. Chances are if he did it now, he's probably done it before to someone else.

Does anyone know how long this was available before it sold out?

Actual sold posting on eBay aren't terrible yet, I think it'll level out after a bit, just remember how crazy Freddy Robot was when it first came out

Yeah, in a ways, I would have expected this one to have had a bigger run since Tony is so popular, but it kinda did, 3000 vs 2500. :rolleyes:
