This Mickey Mouse-themed collector’s metal tin has been created for avid [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-cereals) fans to help them incorporate a touch of nostalgia into their kitchen. The packaging created in partnership between [Post](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waffle-crisp-cereal) and Disney features a metal construction that draws inspiration from the first collaboration between the two brands. This was on the Post Toasties cereal from 1934, which is used as inspiration for the nostalgic packaging tin that's perfect for avid fans to collect.

The Mickey Mouse-themed collector’s metal tin is being offered exclusively at [Walmart](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-kitchen-set) online in limited quantities to further drive home the excessive nature of the packaging.
