THE DARK KNIGHT : Batman & Joker Foreign Nestle Cereal Box Premiums ARE Different!
Recently at the Bat-Blog we shared the information about there being a set of 4 cereal premium figures of THE DARK KNIGHT ( 2 Batman, 1 Scarecrow, & 1 Joker ) that are "foreign" because they're from Brazil. They're put out by Nestle which is a division of General Mills. OK, just to revamp, General Mills has 4 figures in cereal boxes for the USA & Nestle has 4 figures in Brazil. When you look at the figures on the backs of the cereal boxes, & even in photos, the figures from Brazil look exactly the same except for Scarecrow ( obviously ) & a "Double-Punch" Batman. So, I thought there were only 2 figures that were different. Well, our friend Eric got a set of them recently & ALL FOUR of the foreign ones are different! They are a little bit taller & a lot thicker than the US ones. So, thank you Eric for the information. For the rest of the story, & some amazing photos, please be sure to check out Eric's website. It's called TOYRIFFIC!

You'd think that they would have made Two Face one of the four line up rather than two Batmans. They could have downplayed the grossness a little to suit.
Thanks for posting this here, I was excited to discover the differences and am glad to let other Bat fans in on the news.
As far as a Two-Face figure - that would have been awesome but General Mills wouldn't even release a Scarecrow...I'm sure they wouldn't touch Two Face with a 22 foot pole!
I have a cereal box from Germany its of course batman from 89 I can't find a pic or info on it anywhere the box itself is all plastic in the shape of batman and the type is cornflakes and the brand is HAHNE if anyone kns something please leave a comment
