Count Chocula and Franken Berry Eating Cereal

Postby poppetmaster » Sun Jan 31, 2016 6:49 pm

Are these two particularly rare? What would be the going rate for them? I have found the regular versions of the two but not many of them eating the bowl of cereal. I have seen the GITD versions of the two relatively cheap however. Any insight appreciated as always!

The only Monster boys eating cereal are Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy. The others have empty hands.
However, the larger sized banks feature Choc and Frank eating the cereal.

I just wanted to make sure you knew they were banks and almost twice the size of an actual Wobbler. Wobbler boxes are roughly 7 1/2" tall whereas the banks are about 13" tall. Big space eaters. :D

The banks were a limited run of 1000 back in 2006. The glow bank versions were an edition of 480 each for the 2006 SDCC. When it came to the banks, I think the painted version held more of an appeal and are still in collections of Funko collectors as well as ad mascot/cereal enthusiasts.

The Wobblers are in abundance because they came in multiple waves due to a promotion from General Mills. An example would be the Count Chocula Wobbler- First, he was released in stores in 2000- roughly 14,000 of 'em. Then, the cereal promotion started in 2002 and another wave of 30,000 Chocs were done. Most Wobblers didn't have the luxury of such a large promotion and this is why the Choc and Frank Wobblers can be found quickly and quite cheap.

The banks do appear every now and again but not as often due to the lower number. I doubt I'd go higher than $50ish on either of these nowadays. Hope this helps. :D
