while on the hunt to expand on my Keaton era collection i discovered that there were at least 4 versions of the Ralston Returns cereal boxes. each one had a different promotion with it.
also i figured id include a pic of some 89 coloring books from Argentina.

That's pretty cool. I just discovered yet another '89 cereal box in my price guide yesterday that shows a kid driving a small Batmobile. I didn't know there were that many Returns Cereal boxes. I still have that "Catch Game" cut-out piece on the back of the first box. My mom glued it to a ribbon for me way back when, (it's really supposed to be folded into a cube though).
Those Argentina coloring books are awsome. I notice a lot of Batman stuff was produced over there in the early '90s. Those'll be great for the Arts & Crafts section I'm working on. Is Sylvapen the manufacturer's name?

im assuming thats the publisher name, yes. there is a couple advertisements in the book for other products with that name.
there are a total of 7 different 89 cereal boxes. the one you mentioned and the one with the diecast batmobile are the 2 i still need.

Nice! That cereal looked pretty yummy. Pity I was only two when they sold it.

HERE are the three '89 variations I've found (not including the one without any special offers). I'd be happy to get photos of the other ones in time.

there was also an Alpha Bits box from Canada.

Thanks a lot, Shadowbat. That Alpha Bits one is cool. I notice a lot of cereals with Batman on the box were only available to Canada.
