In 1999, Cap'n Crunch, a popular American breakfast cereal, released a free Power Bomber Gogo with each select marketed box - the promotion was focused on the Canadian market, but was broadcast on U.S. television stations as well. There are four different figures to collect: Cap'n Crunch himself, who was were included in boxes of his cereal (where he could be found in red, blue, and yellow), as well as three other characters known simply as Betty, Bang and Billy (also available in red, yellow, and blue), otherwise known as the Crunch Crew. These three special figures required sending in an order form that was supplied on the back of these same specially marked boxes Cap'n Crunch could be found in. They were always packaged together, so anyone who sent in a form would get all three at once, usually in the same color.
All 4 Fun Toy Products Ltd (the Canadian distributor of the Gogo's brand at the time) and Magic Box created a series of Crazy Bones for a cereal promotion with Cap'n Crunch, consisting of a small line of exclusively designed Gogo's, and advocated by two animated advertising television segments featuring the giveaway. The figures were much larger than regularly issued Gogo's, presumably to prevent them from being swallowed by younger children and thus becoming a choking hazard. At the time of their release, they were the largest Gogo's figures and are even bigger than the traditional Power Bombers.
These four figures were exclusive to this single promotion and were never obtainable in any other way. Because of this, these figures are extremely rare, and since the promotion was short lived - any surviving pieces are all but impossible to find.
