Who didn’t love the General Mills Monster Cereals growing up — Count Chocula, FrankenBerry and my favorite, Boo Berry.

I just stumbled across these excellent Kubrick figurines of all the main monsters.

Doing a bit of research, it turns out there were two more later additions to the lineup. Do you know them? First was the Wolfman-themed Fruit Brute, which was re-issued as Yummy Mummy. I guess neither did very well on the grocery store shelves.

I was totally hooked on these as a kid, being a huge monster fan. Have not eaten them for many years as I really don’t eat sugar-coated cereal much anymore.

And just as cool as the figurines are the excellent mini cereal box blister packs.

If any of you are still in the market for a Wacom Intuos3 graphics tablet, the company has just announced a special limited edition 25th anniversary lineup. The “special” features are as follows:

• Sophisticated metallic black and gun metal gray color scheme
• Classic Pen in addition to the Intuos3 Grip Pen ($49.95 value )
• Transparent Overlay in addition to the Gray Overlay ($14.00 – $25.00 value; depending on size)
• Professional Accessory Kit ($19.95 value; 5 Standard nibs, 5 felt nibs, 5 Stroke nibs, 5 Flex nibs, an. alternate Pen Grip without side switch holes, 1 nib removal tool, and 1 replacement side switch)

No word on pricing, but you can sign up to get on the list. Ships September 13, 2007. Hard to know if this is a deal, or just a more expensive version with bundled accessories and a different color scheme. Does look cool though.

Personally, I think the new logo is more exciting:
