[Cinnamon Toast Crunch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-toast-crunch-cinnadust-pretzel-bites) has gotten a Spider-Man-themed makeover as a follow-up to General Mills’ popular AMBUSH x [Reese’s Puffs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/angel-x-reeses-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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnafuego-toast-crunch) stores for $10 USD.
