Description :

Rare lot of Kellog's Crater Critters from cereal boxes in the late 1960s & early 1970s. They were supposed to be fairly friendly and live in craters in the far reaches of space. Manufactured by Rosenhan & Lippman of Australia, these are an obsession with collectors. There were 8 designs and all are represented here IN MULTIPLES. Believe it or not, a single King Crater/Kingly Critter with its crown still intact can bring several hundred dollars by itself from collectors!*  It is very hard to find one with the crown present - all THREE of ours have their crowns!

Names are listed US/Australian versions:

King Crater/Kingly Critter: 3 

Gloob/Clever Critter: 6

Miss Venus/Cranky Critter: 4

Lunartic/Kindly Critter: 5

Upsy Downsy/Kooky Critter: 5

Buggy Backbone/Creepy Critter: 6

Glubber/Crawly Critter: 2

Jodrell Jim/Curly Critter: 4

All appear to be in good shape - see photos for details.
