When Funko announced their new line of FunkO’s cereal earlier this year I was ecstatic. Freddy and Jason were both featured in the initial announcement and if you watch the Making Fun: The Story of Funko you’ll see there are likely a number of other characters that we may see in the future that fans of horror and all things creepy will enjoy. Today, Funko announced the launch of the first line of cereals, which will hit store shelves this month.
For it’s first run, Funko is releasing six cereals: Mega Man FunkO’s, Cuphead & Mugman FunkO’s, Freddy FunkO’s, Nightmare On Elm Street’s Freddy Krueger FunkO’s, Friday the 13th’s Jason FunkO’s, and The Lord of the Rings FunkO’s featuring Gollum. Each cereal is guaranteed to turn your milk a different color and will all include a special prize inside the box, so you’ll definitely want to get a box to collect and a box to eat. The catch? These cereals aren’t coming to your local grocery stores, instead, these cereals are getting exclusive releases at specific retailers.
If you want to get your hands on a box of Freddy Krueger FunkO’s or Jason Voorhees FunkO’s, you’ll only be able to get them at FYE. The other cereals will be arriving at stores like GameStop, Hot Topic, and BoxLunch.
Unfortunately Funko hasn’t announced a specific release date, so those looking for the cereals will need to regularly check the FYE and Funko sites and social media for updates.
