Mega Man Gets Own Cereal Thanks To FunkO’s
You may know Funko as the company that releases pop culture toys, but they’re dipping their toes into the cereal market now. They’re set to release boxes of cereal based on some famous brands. The first batch includes Mega Man, complete with a tiny little Mega Man figure as the prize. This cereal will be sold at GameStop and Hot Topic sometime in July.
Other brands coming to select retailers include: Cuphead, Freddy Krueger, Jason Vorhees, and Gollum. Which one(s) are you most interested in?
Funko, purveyors of pop culture and all things awesome, is committed to helping you start the day off right by putting the fun back in breakfast with FunkO’s. And as we all know from Saturday morning commercials; every breakfast starts with a bowl of brightly colored cereal that comes out of a box with a really cool mascot on the front and a prize inside!
Funko is kicking off this summer with six new FunkO’s cereals, each guaranteed to turn your milk a different amazing color. Funko has no shortage of beloved mascots that already feature largely in the Funkoverse as Pop! vinyl figures and other collectibles. Now these pop culture icons will join you for breakfast!
In July, Mega Man FunkO’s will be available at GameStop, Cuphead & Mugman FunkO’s will be available at Hot Topic, Freddy FunkO’s will be available through Funko, Nightmare On Elm Street’s Freddy Krueger FunkO’s and Friday the 13th’s Jason FunkO’s will be available at FYE, and The Lord of the Rings FunkO’s featuring Gollum will be available at BoxLunch. Additional cereals will continue to be added throughout the year for your snacking pleasure.
And of course, to put the fun back in breakfast, each box contains a collectible prize, making the boxes as much fun to collect as they are to eat! You’ll find a collectible figure inside every box of FunkO’s, so you’re going to want two boxes – one to taste, and one to display on your shelf with your Pop! collection.
Pick up your first box of FunkO’s this summer, pour yourself a bowl and watch cartoons!
