Crater Critters
Crater Critters was a set of eight plastic toys that were made by an Australian company, Rosenhain and Lipmann and given away inside Kellogg's cereal boxes in 1968 and again in 1972.
==History==
Between 1959 and 1977, an Australian company based in Melbourne called Rosenhain and Lipmann (commonly known as R&L) designed and manufactured unique and innovative toys that became hugely popular both in Australia and overseas.〔(''Making of a cereal thriller'' ) (July 27, 2004). ''The Age''. Retrieved 2014-08-10〕 R&L started out making snap-together items that worked like tiny plastic model kits that didn't need any glue and were issued in a clear glassine bag, inside Kellogg's cereal boxes. Between 1959 and 1977, over 70 different sets were released and it is estimated that about one billion R&L toys were delivered around the world.〔Divola, Barry (2004). ''(Searching for Kingly Critter: a deliciously different tale of obsession and nostalgia )''. Published by ABC Books, Sydney. . ISBN 073331399X〕
The most popular and collectable of any series was Crater Critters.〔Hall, Craig (1998). ''(A Guide to Australian Breakfast Cereal Toy Premiums )''. Published by Parramatta, N.S.W. . ISBN 0646353578〕 Kellogg's advertised Crater Critters as friendly bug-eyed creatures from the craters of outer space. Originally issued in 1968, the set was so popular R&L reissued them again in 1972. The set of eight Crater Critters (Kingly, Kindly, Kooky, Curly, Creepy, Clever, Cranky and Crawly) were produced in eight different colours. The four most common colours were orange, lilac, dark purple and lime green (all depicted below). Of the eight Critters, two had removable parts; Kingly Critter who had a removable four point black crown and Kooky Critter who had a removable black top hat. Kingly Critter with a four spikes on the crown intact is extremely rare and often fetches upwards of $200 on eBay.〔 In 2006, one sold on eBay for $450.〔
In the United States and United Kingdom, they were also known as Crater Critters, but issued under different names (shown in brackets below).〔
