The days of finding toys in cereal boxes seemed to be going downhill, but that isn't the case with these General Mills cereals that are being taken over by lovable Star Wars droid figurines. Aside from the toys themselves that kids and adults alike will find packed into boxes of Reese's Puffs, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Cookie Crisp, Honey Nut Cheerios and Mini Trix, the General Mills cereals will feature limited edition branding that transforms them each into a Star Wars-inspired scene.
The Trix Rabbit as Princess Leia and the Millennium Falcon flying through a meteor shower of Reese's Puffs are just two of several different varieties that will be hitting store shelves in a short matter of time.
