Back in 1974 when Robin Hood was at the cinemas as the latest Walt disney release, kids could collect these great cardboard standups and scenery to act out a scene from the cartoon. This promotion featured a set of card characters and backgrounds printed on the cardboard of the box packaging. The more weetabix the bigger the scene or amount of characters.

Weetabix promotions
In the mid-1970s Weetabix ran several other promotions on various themes – all featuring stand-up, card characters and colourful backgrounds with which children could recreate action scenes. As well as the Walt Disney Robin Hood cartoon characters. The other set i remember were Dr Who and the Cybermen and also the Asterix cartoon characters.
Marvelous – I had this stuck in my head over the last couple of days and just found your site – many thanks. Also recall another cereal packet with Knights and such on it (may have been Weetabix too)
Awesome – liked the Weetabix memories
were the knights you mentioned coloured plastic figurines?
I don’t think so – I think I saw those yesterday on the web somewhere – I remember a cut-out castle but it could have been from any cereal
Great site does anyone know which cereal company ran the dinasour cut outs on the back in the 80s i think it was ready brek .
This has been driving me nuts for years but I remember a cereal box series – I think that it was cornflakes -that featured a series of armed knights through the ages on the packaging – this would have been the early seventies. I’ve never seen them represented,
