    1970s FREAKIES Complete Set of 7 Solid PVC Figures / Cereal Prizes.
    Freakies figures came in boxes of a relatively short-lived cereal of the same name. Freakies cereal was produced by Ralston and available in the U.S. from 1972 to 1976.
    Seven different Freakies figures were made, each in a single color and representing a specific creature from the story that was created to go along with the products. According to the Freakies Wikipedia entry, "in the mythology of the Freakies, the seven went in search of the legendary Freakies Tree which grew the Freakies cereal. They found the Tree, realized the legend was true, and promptly took up residence in the Tree which then became the backdrop for all the TV spots and package back stories."
    The Freakies were created by Wells, Rich, Greene advertising agency, with Jackie End at the creative helm of the project.
    The Freakies characters were called BossMoss, Cowmumble, Hamhose, Goody Goody, Snorledork, Grumble, and Gargle, and each was made to have a distinct personality.
