Disneykins Royal Gelatin Promotion

A Royal Gelatin advertisement from 1967. It would have run in the Sunday comics section of the newspaper, coast-to-coast in the US. For only 25¢ plus one Royal package back, you'd receive three Disneykin figures. A different group of three were offered with every flavor, 26 Disneykins in all. Snow White and the dwarfs are not pictured in this ad, but they were still part of the promotional campaign.



You could get a set of eight Snow White figures with this chocolate flavor pudding box. Only 50¢ plus two Royal instant pudding package backs.



Snow and the Dwarfs are illustrated here in the poses of their Disneykin figures.




And here's a Vanilla Flavor box from Hakes.




As part of this promotion, Royal Gelatin issued a give-away Snow White Disneykins game. See it in the next Archive entry.

Special thanks to Dan Goodsell for supplying the newspaper ad and chocolate box images, plus additional info for this post. Visit his Tick Tock Toys Archive and see vintage ads on his flickr photostream.

  1. That's it! That's the gelatin that I remember. I wish we had saved the boxes! Like I said in a comment on an earlier post, we never had Snow White or any of the Dwarfs. The ones that we had (and I still have) that came from the gelatin offer are Daisy, Donald, Huey, Captain Hook, and Jose Carioca. Then we had Mickey, Minnie, Mickey's nephew, and maybe a couple more that were purchased at Disneyland. Somehow that set went missing many moons ago!

    1. Who knew to save the boxes back then. It's cool that you got to take part in this promotion when it came out.

  2. SWA, do you happen to know how long these were offered through Royal Gelatin?

    1. The only dates I've ever seen for these have been the mid to late 1960s.
