You bet. Essentially this is a product of a product.Perpetuating all the worst aspects of capitalism with cereal companies, which already those are bad. Targeting children with their unhealthy cereals. Not that I'm the kind that boycott over shady corporations because they are all terrible, but that doesn't mean I will support their products.
Mascots give companies and product a friendly face but I don't think that should be celebrated.

Pricing is going to be interesting going forward. These were 29.99 at BBTS when EE had them for 24.99. Now EE is up to 29.99.
I noticed that McFarlane's stuff had three different prices depending on when you looked. Supergirl was 27.99 at Amazon and EE and 29.99 at BBTS and Gamestop. Superman was 24.99 at EE, 27.99 at Amazon, and 29.99 at BBTS and Gamestop.
So, um, shop around.
I had drifted away from using Hasbro Pulse, but if BBTS and EE are going away from MSRP, then I'm likely to go back to using them as my default for Classified, Legends, and Star Wars.
Love the vibrant colors, Jada is definitely on the good path.
This is VERY cool man... I probably get it. Tiger Tony in action figure form. I have the plushy. ???
Definitely need this

Absolute Joy! Jada's line of iconic Ad Mascots are awesome and I can't resist them. Their line of cereal monsters (Frankenberry, Chocula & Boo-Berry) were outstanding as with Chester Cheetohs. Their upcoming Fred & Barney for Pebbles cereal only makes me wish they would add the rest of the Flintstones cast. I certainly hope they can continue releasing more like: Quisp, Quake, Cap'n Crunch, Trix Rabbit, Lucky Leprechaun, Sonny Cuckoo, Toucan Sam, Snap-Crackle-Pop, Sugar Bear, etc., etc.
I hope they do all the cereal mascots. Tony looks greeeeeat! Sorry I couldn't resist.
I don't know why I keep buying these silly things, but I will be buying this silly thing.
