Cinnamon Toast Crunch has gotten a Spider-Man-themed makeover as a follow-up to General Mills’ popular AMBUSH x Reese’s Puffs Cereal box. The new offering features the same Cinnamon Toast Crunch deliciousness with a superhero-inspired twist, depicting Peter Parker’s first appearance as the character in the Marvel Comics Amazing Fantasy #15 series back in 1962. The cereal box is limited to 1,962 boxes and comes with a fifth panel that expands to reveal a two-page comic spread about Spider-Man and his initial debut in the Marvel universe.
In addition, the box features Spiderman holding his nemesis The Scorpion with the ‘Amazing Fantasy’ title overhead. The Spider-Man Cinnamon Toast Crunch box will be available exclusively at Walmart stores for $10 USD.
