MGA Entertainment, makers of popular L.O.L. Surprise! capsules, have entered into a licensing deal with the food company General Mills to produce a number of L.O.L. Surprise dolls and accessories based upon well-known cereal brands. 

The brands Trix, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Wheaties, Lucky Charms, Honey Nut Cheerios, Cocoa Puffs, Franken Berry, Count Chocula, and Boo-Berry will all feature in this collection, Series 1 in what the collaboration is calling “L.O.L. Suprise! Loves Mini Bites.”

The company is particularly targeting the ever-talked-about kidult market with this new series of dolls. Following a survey from MGA that stated over a fourth of Americans named toys or collectibles as a common gift for adults, the company hopes that the cereal-branded dolls and accessories can encourage nostalgic feelings in adult collectors. The overall survey talked about gift-giving trends and revealed that gifts are even more fun for 49% of people when it’s a surprise to both giver and recipient, a strong number for a company that offers surprise capsules. 

The company has other food-based series within its L.O.L. Surprise! mystery capsule lines as well, with the Mini Sweets doll line recently expanding to include Jelly Belly, Mentos, and other candy brands.
