Move over, silly rabbit, cereal looks like it could be fun again thanks to a new line of breakfast treats from Funko, the Everett, Wash.-based pop culture company.

The cereal, called FunkO’s, will feature more than 40 characters from some of the leading pop culture licenses which Funko uses to make its line of consumer goods, including the popular Pop! figurines. In fact, each box will include a corresponding miniature Pocket Pop! figure.

The cereal boxes will also feature themed activities, puzzles and games on the back panel. FunkO’s will sell for a suggested retail price of $7.99 per box.

“As the market leader in licensed pop culture products and speed to market capabilities, we are in a truly unique position to surprise and delight our passionate fan base,” Brian Mariotti, CEO of Funko, said in a news release. “We are thrilled to bring our stylized designs and inventive products to the cereal aisle this year and bring the fun back to breakfast. Given our diversity of licenses, this launch is another example of how we are able to drive fan engagement and consumer demand for our brand in creative and distinctively Funko ways.”
