For every Tony the Tiger, there's a Poppy the Porcupine.
Waldo the Wizard (Lucky Charms)
In the mid-'70s, Waldo was supposed to replace Lucky, but the leprechaun ultimately proved to be more popular. What business does a wizard have with four-leaf clovers, anyway?

Poppy the Porcupine (Sugar Corn Pops)
I don't know what a porcupine has to do with anything, but this little lady is precious and I'd buy whatever cereal she's selling. (Corn Pops, from 1980 to 1986.)

Big Yella (Sugar Corn Pops)
This fan favorite cowboy isn't quite as adorable as Poppy, but he does have a fan club (the "Big Yella Society") campaigning to get him back on cereal boxes. Big Yella appeared in the late '70s, which means he predates Poppy.
Alphie (Alpha-Bits)
Because the cereal was "dog-gone good." Cute. Well, certainly cuter than the Alpha-Bits Monster, another forgotten cereal mascot.
