TMNT '90-- Cereal Ad?

Okay, so I'm digging way back into the memory banks on this one. I have a vivid memory of the first time I heard about the TMNT movie as a child.

Like most of you, I'm sure, I had my finger firmly on the pulse of anything and everything TMNT in the late-80s, early 90. I remember being at a local grocery store and seeing a small ad for a TMNT film on the side of a box. I want to say the cereal was Rice Chex, but it's possible that it was the TMNT cereal. The image was of Leo sitting against the tree, but it's not the shot that's commonly seen in the poster book. It was from a profile angle, eyes shut, more meditative pose... plus a much nicer shot composition, IMO. Anyway, the ad said something about the release date-- other details are fuzzy. This was MONTHS before the release of the film, as I remember thinking how far away it was when my mother explained it to me. This was before any sort of teaser poster of trailer/TV spot.

SO... my question to you, fellow fans... does anyone have an idea or image of the cereal ad that I'm remembering?
