Oh shit I remember these, the T-rex claw was my treasureI distinctly remember getting some of these JP fossils or something very similiar in cereal boxes back around TLW release.
Shit was cool.
You could get the Enterprise, Klingon Bird of Prey, Ferangi Marauder and a Romulan Warbird.
I only ever got one Klingon Bird of Prey and three stupid Ferangi ones, at that point my folks refused to buy any more since I didn't even like Shreddies.
Couldn't find a picture for it but in Captain Crunch you once were able to get a smoggie (one of the bad guys in ye old days trying to be a pain in the Captains ass), these things were cool, you cool stretch them, they felt gooey and they stuck to walls.

C'mon guys, this thread is all about the pics!
The Sogmaster and the glow in the dark Soggies were part of my staple toys when I was a kid. Captain Crunch was more quickly discarded.
I remember really liking the California Raisins figures.
What? I'm from Germany and I always had some toys or gadgets in my cereals.
Not anymore though.

Damn! this takes me back
These and 'spokie-dokies' were the source of many a motherly telling off back in the 80's - Fucking things were always packed in the bottom of the cereal bag, and used to rip the hell outta the box trying to get em out!

May I have a cookie?
If mail away counts then my brother and I got two of these as kids (the dog and bird, forget their names). Each cost a dollar if I remember correctly.
They were actually lightsaber pens. And they were awesome. On my desk at work right now, my LEGO Wall-E is wielding the Darth Vader one.

Right after 89 Batman came out, mom bought me the cereal only once because I wanted the Batman bank.

If I remember correctly, it didn't come in the box, though. You had to send box tops to the company and they sent back a copy.
Rest
All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
Damn, I'd buy cereal to get that.

Giant plastic Batman torso from Batman cereal.
Oh my god you just unlocked a part of my brain... I had all of those as a kid. Wow, I even remember the texture of them and always looking at them thinking they were so cool to be a cereal toy.Captain Crunch figures
Yep, I still have mine too. Pretty awesome toy at the time.I mailed in for one of these. I was very happy with it.

It was the same for me.
I remember a substitute teacher bringing in the Enterprise once. He wouldn't accept a trade.

I believe I got a Disney's Atlantis PC game out of a cereal box but I can't remember which cereal. Never could get the game to run properly since the family computer at the time was garbage.

Don't know if I ever got Han, but I definitely mailed away for a Ghost Obi-Wan figure. Also mailed away for a vhs of The Making of Star Wars.

Junior, please.
These things:
Turn 'em inside out and they jump back off the table / your thumb / whatever.
I think the thing that makes them stick out in my mind is that they actually did something, it wasn't just a shitty figurine. I actually had fun with these.

I forgot about the ones where you can send in the barcodes, those are usually more superior.
