I saw this and had to chuckle. I remember the Lemon and chocolate flavors only because my cousin and I got into my Aunt's boxes 'cause we thought they were creme wafers. How did anyone lose weight on these, they were full of sugar?

I loved these bars. My mom would eat these all the time. We used to sneak some out of the box. I would love to find some. Please let me know, if I can buy them anywhere...

I agree, these were soooo good! They tasted so good. The lemon flavor were excellent. I would buy them if they were stil available.

My aunt always had the vanilla. I loved them!! There is no way anyone lost weight with these, they were too yummy.

I ate these as kid with my granmother. I was addicted. Vanilla was my favorite. I heard they were bad for you is why they quit making them. I would buy them now if I could.

Me and my sisters used to sneak them from our Mom! She would let us have them sometimes too. Chocolate and Vanilla were awesome!!!!

Man I wish I knew where to buy them. I loved them growing up. I remember when I got my first job and would buy them instead of candy bars. Like someone said they tasted like wafers. Let's all write Pillsbury and ask them to bring them back.

I E-MAILED PILLSBURY. I ASKED IF THEY WOULD CONSIDER BRINGING THEM BACK. WE'LL SEE. THEY WERE GREAT. EPECIALLY THE CHOCOLATE FLAVOR.

If ppl lost weight on these, it'd because they replaced a meal with it. If one ate 300 calories of granulated sugar for a meal (or butter, for example), one would still lose weight. They were not low in fat either. Not healthy, but that's why they tasted so good.

I was surfing on the net to see if they made these any more. They were SO Yummy! I thought there was a strawberry one, but maybe I'm thinking vanilla... My grandmother had these as well, and would give them to me as a snack. Miss them terribly!

These didn't seem to be a quality diet product to me. I think the deal was that they contained added vitamins and minerals, and candy bars, pop tarts and the like didn't have anything added. It seems like a stupid idea today, but then I just saw an energy bar at the convenience store today selling for $5. And it's just a big, glorified candy bar. Oh, and Figurines tasted great. They were kind of expensive for our budget, so we didn't get them often.

I used to love the Caramel-Nut flavored Figurines. I would freeze them and eat them for breakfast with a cup of hot tea. For me it had nothing to do with dieting, they just tasted so darn good! I wish they were still available, I'd buy them in a second.

I was addicted to figurines 25 years ago. I was in great shape and ate them by the box fulls, they were my dessert (hehe). I was telling my daughter about them (cuz I'm on a diet and wanted to see the nutritional value), but couldn't find them and didn't remember seeing them in a really long time. I did a web search and found this blog. I am sad to see they aren't in production anymore, but I will email Pillsbury too. Everyone here should do that and see what happens.

MMMMM, chocolate mint was my favorite. Whatever happened to them, and WHY (oh, why) can't they bring them back??!!!

my favorite was the vanilla, with a hot cup of coffee in the morning they were great!!and yes they did have added vitamins in them .and i hid them just for me...lol i would love to have them back. i will contact pillsbury also

I loved the chocolate ones. I would put them in my swim bag then eat it as a snack by the pool once it was good and soft. Does anyone remember the Breakfast Squares? Thay were sort of like a brownie but really dry and powder like. SOOOO good.

I am a personal trainer and one of the trainers that I work with was eating what looked like a Figurine. I mentioned this to her (she is only 21) and she laughed and said there is no way such a thing existed. I HAD to do a search to find some information to prove to her they were real. How funny. I can't wait to show her this tomorrow. I only wish I had a picture.

I've been hunting for them too online. They were great tasting...especially the caramel nut ones. I ate 6 of them a day along with a regular evening meal and lost 80 lbs. in one year without the added benefit I'm sure I would've received exercising. They were a lot less expensive than the protein/diet/fiber bars on market today and certainly more filling and tastier.

WOW! I agree with every sentiment I've just read. It's been at least 20 yrs since I've had a Vanilla Figurines bar - and I remember exactly what they tasted like...pure heaven! Today I was eating natural almonds and just for a moment I had that Vanilla Figurines flavor - hence finding this blog. Maybe I'll start a petition and forward to Pillsbury.

I lost 50 lbs. in 4 months on Figurines in 1978. They came in packs of 2 and I would eat one every 3 to 4 hours and supplement it with a couple of V8 juices and vitamins. I used them in place of a meal. Chocolate was my favorite and I liked to keep them in the refrigerator. Bring them back!

I LOVED figurines!!! I've contacted Pillsbury with hopes they would bring them back. I loved them as well as Carnation Breakfast Bars (also discontinued)-YUM! If you liked the taste of the vanilla Figurines, try the Pepperidge Farm French Vanilla Pirouette's- obviously there not low cal or anything but they taste SO similar. It's a throw back and will bring back memories.

a lot of people asked how you could lose weight on these. i lost 130 pounds in the late 70's. i did it by eating figurines or slender bars for lunch and sensibly at the other two meals. they definitely worked for me and i wish they'd bring them back.

I miss them so much, it seems everyone does, I've had fun reading everyone's comments, when I try to explain to my younger coworkers they don't have a clue. I also remember the ABBA shakes, they were awesome.However Figurines were the Best!

I never ate Figurines, but as a kid, I definitely remember their commercial on TV. A BEAUTIFUL girl singing "For every chocolate you resist.... Figurines are sweet revenge...."

In the '70s, I lost a lotta weight with Figurines & diet cola. That combo really filled me up. I wish Figurines were still available. Are they, on some retro food site? I hope so.

Does anyone remember the full lyrics. I can't find them, although the internet says they will send the ring tones for a fee.

These are the lyrics as I remember them: Figurines, for a lady proud They're the diet lunch that you can crunch outloud Figurines, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch! They're the most exciting kind of diet lunch My shape belongs to Figurines!

I loved these bars and remember my mom having them. We have looked high and love for them. I remember the vanilla and the chocolate mint. They were such a good snack. Now as a mom of 2 they would be great as a quick breakfast, yum, I miss them.

figurines lyrics as i remember: figurines do a lady proud...they're the diet lunch that you can crunch out loud figurines help keep you as you are...with a calorie rate- one thirty eight a bar!

OMG!! I Loved figurines! They were the best snack food ever...tasted really good...I found some really old box at a local small town called kemps food, like in the 90's! They totally need to bring figurines back!!!

these were my moms favorites as well... i always sneaked one ;o) And just the other day, while ordering snack supplies for my office, i came across the Vanilla Balance Bar 100 Calories - I SWEAR IT TASTES EXACTLY LIKE I REMEMBER THE FIGURINES BARS!! Someone else, please check them out and weigh in.. :o)

My Mom was always dieting and my sister and I got hooked on her Figurines. I loved the Vanilla. They were so good. I remember buying them in the late 80's when I first moved from home, not because I needed to diet, but because they tasted so good! I wish they would bring them back.

I also remember that Figurines girl in the ad when I was a kid, and she definitely was a looker. Wish someone would post the ad on youtube. Lyric I recall "For every cream-pie you pass by, (something something).... Figurines are sweet revenge....For every chocolate you resist.... Figurines are sweet revenge...."

For ev'rything that you pass by, Banana splits or lemon pie, New Figurines are swee--eeet re-venge! For every chocolate you reist, Or trouble for a danish twist, New Figurines are swee-eeet re-venege!

FIGURINES, I LOVED THEM! I used to raid my Mom's stash. I loved the Chocolate Mint. I wish they'd bring them back. They were soo good.

OMG! I lost 30 lbs in high school on these (of course I was only eating one of these and 2 diet cokes a day). Not the healthiest way to lose weight I know, but I'd kill for a chocolate mint figurine today. Wish they'd bring them back.

Smores was my favorite. I used to eat those daily! The grahm flavored wafer was more like burnt brown sugar caramel, but was still a wonderful flavor combination with the chocolate coating and the uniquely delicious toasted marshmallow flavored creme filling. YUMMMM, I REALLY WANT A BOX OF THEM!!!

My Aunt was constantly on a diet! She would buy Tab Diet drinks and Figurines by cases! I loved the vanilla and the chocolate ones. I remember my mom saying the took em off the shelves a few years ago I too wish they would bring em back!

I agree with everyone else! These things were so delicious. I was a little kid when my mom was eating them in the '70s, but I remember stealing bites of them and I thought they were one of the best things ever.

OMG..were those figurines just the best tasting things around..I remember my mom god rest her sole bringing home the chocolate with coconut on top.Was so funny how my sister and I just a few days ago started taking about these.Were we disapointed to find out we were unable to find these anywhere on the net..I see they would make a big come back with this item..

All I could say is ...PILSBURY....PLEASE BRING BACK THOSE FIGURINES BARS....IT WAS GREAT WITH COFFEE FOR BREAKFAST, THEN A WELL-BALANCED LUNCH, AND FOR DINNER,,,FIGURINE BARS WITH TEA..

Absolutely loved the chocolate mint Figurines, my children did too!! They used to sneak them out of the bottom of the box thinking that if the boxes were still sealed at the top, I wouldn't know that they had taken a bar or two!!! I too wish that Pilsbury would start making them again.

Never had them, but I remember the commercial, too! Figurines...help keep you as you are, with a calorie rate...138 a bar, figurines....

OMG!!!! i loved the vanillia ones!!!! please, please, please bring these back. all the diet bars out there now taste like crap!!!!

I miss them as well. I remember the Cheddar flavor. Wow, I wish they would bring them back.

A girl at work just mentioned these bars, and i loved them..so funny makes us stop and think how old we are getting!!! I think they are what killed the pilsbery dough boy!

I'VE BEEN READING A WHILE NOW AND NO ONE MENTIONED THE CHEDDER CHEESE ONES! NOT AS GOOD BUT..... WHEN YOU GET SICK OF SWEET STUFF THEY WHERE, AND STILL ARE THE ONLY BRAND THAT OFFERED YOU A CHOICE.UUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMM CHEDDER CHEESE AND A FRESH APPLE MADE A GREAT SACK LUNCH, BACK WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS FAT! WISH I LOOKED THAT GOOD NOW !!!

Nothing tasted like the caramel bars! Oh how I miss them!! Please, Pillsbury, bring them back!!! My figure belongs to figurines!!

They must have had several jingles. I was just a kid in the 70's but I remember the jingles as such: Figurines help keep you as you are, with a calorie rate one thirty eight a bar. I was just getting a nutri-grain bar and that song got into my head. I could not remember the name "Figurines" so I googled "with a calorie rate 138 a bar" and I got right here!! Sorry to say I never tasted them. Everything Pillsbury makes is delicious!!

I loved these and I actually lost about 50 pounds eating them.

Pillsbury PLEEEEEEEEAAAASSSSEEEEEEEE bring them back!!!! I can taste the vanilla just by thinking about them!!!!!!!!!! Who cares if they are low fat or not?

How Funny! I tell people about Figurines and nobody knows what I'm talking about! I loved the Vanilla ones.. I use to eat them and drink a Tab! SOO wish Pillsbury would bring them back!!

Sung to the tune of Tangerine: Figurines...do a lady proud. They're the diet lunch that you can CERunch out loud. Figurines...crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, CRUNCH! With a low cal rate, 138 a bar. My shape belongs to Figurines! And that's all i can remember. I sure did love that ad.

I was just thinking about my favorite chocolate figurine bars. I filled out a 'find a product' from the Vermont Country store webpage. You can request them to find products that are discontinued or hard to find. I found them in a walgreens about 1996 and never seen them again. I too have emailed Pillsbury. Let's cross our fingers!

I ate these wonderful bars and lost weight to boot!! Please Pilsbury ! If you are listening bring them back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG! I cant believe what I'm hearing, my mom used to eat these. We where talking about whatever happend to them. They kicked butt, now I am a mom and wish they still had them. My kids think I'm nuts and don't know what I'm talking about, if they only knew. who cares if they werent't healthy, compared to todays food they probably are now! I didnt know they had mint, I remember the red box. I laughed when I read all these, We all should have a group therapy together or have a sit-out at the pillsbury headquarters! LOL! Brininging them back would be awesome at least it would bring back some some good memorys of the good times. The good ole days!!

I remember eating these back in high school. I loved the chocolate ones right out of the fridge. I didn't even need to be on a diet. I just loved the way they tasted. Pillbury should bring the back as breakfast bars since they were really too sugar-y to be a diet bar.

Hello, my name is Laurie and I'm a Figurine-aholic. I ate them between the ages of 18-21 I think (I sure was thin back then, maybe because I would eat them as a meal!) So many yummy flavors - they did make a great dessert too and satisfied the sweet tooth. Maybe we should get a petition going and submit to Pillsbury!

Figurines were ok. Slender bars were much better!!!

I am amazed that so many people have such fond memories of Figurines! My mom used to use them and my sister and I LOVED them! I agree, my mom did have success with these bars and they tasted SOOOOO good! There was a certain "crunch" they had that I have never found since. I was hoping they were still made but after searching everywhere I can think of, I found out for sure they have been discontinued. I loved the chocolate flavor and there was one called chocolate caramel (I think?) that was absolutely to-die-for! I'm reading that Pillsbury made them - I do wish they would consider putting them back on the market - maybe even just as a snack item. They were terrific and I really miss them.

How funny... i've been racking my brain trying to remember the name of these things. i used to LOVE them. i think i was even addicted to them. lose weight on them? oh i dunno. but they were SO GOOD! too funny to see how many other people loved them too. my favorite was the plain vanilla variety. yep, wish they'd bring them back... don't even care if they're not on the diet aisle. why can't they just be a breakfast bar? can't be any worse than any other bar on the market! so much sugar and.. well, CRAP on the market these days. why not?!

OMG, I was such a fat kid and I ate these CONSTANTLY! Remember the mind ones with the little green flakes on the outside? I used to get them in my lunch box and trade one of them for real food, lol. I'd try to eat one layer at a time to make it last. So sad. I'd love to try one now!

I love how i look in my Gaberdines, so I fight for my figure with figurines. I wish I could remember the rest

Yes, Carole, I finally remembered the name of these things after about 2 weeks trying...I used to buy these when I was a teenager in the early 1980's-I remember the chocolate mocha with little shavings of fake chocolate sprinkled on top. That plus the Aids chocolate appetite supressants and Alba shake packets. Yup! I was so thin then. I lived on that crap. Hope we aren't sorry down the road-he he. Btw, Figurines were sold in a box about the size of your average granola bar. And I can almost remember the tv theme song, wasn't it akin to "Volare-whoa oh oh oh"??? "Fig-urines..."???? Funny.

Throughout my life I have battled weight issues, exept for my "Figurine" stage. I was a teenager in the 70's and my weight flutuated around 225 -250 (I am 5'3"). In 1976/77 I was on a strict "Figure" exclusive diet for almost 2 years and at one point got my weight down to less than 100 pounds. Those were the best days of my life - lots of dating and sex. Subsequently I suffered a lot of serious health issues. I have had my gall bladder removed and partial pancreas removal also I had 7 feet of my large intestine removed. I am diabetic and on renal dyalisis three times per week. Regretfully my weight is now over 375. But I fondly remember my "Figurine" days as the best of my life. I hope to one day get back to those times. "Figurines" could get me there - I am sure.

In the seventies, I lost weight on the vanilla figurines, and I felt great. Now I am 50 and need to lose weight. Figurines where are you? I wish they would come out with more figurines. I want to lose weight and stay healthy.

They were still making these in the mid-1980s, when I was a freshman in high school. I distinctly remember the commercial from the early and mid '70s, with the Mary Tyler Moore-looking brunette walking around and singing "138 a baaaaar..." That jingle has been stuck in my head for about 35 years now. "My shape belongs to Fig-ur-ines..."

I would love to see Figurines come back. In my twenties, I would eat one with a glass of milk everyday for lunch. I stayed thin - bring them back please.

I spent an afternoon in the gorgeous Hollywood home of Carla Borelli - the "Figurine" beauty, and her husband, Nick. They were family friends of my college roommate. I've always wondered what happened to her? I think she acted in soaps for awhile. I loved the bars. Vanilla with a cup of coffee. Yum!

Hello! I used to eat those Figurines for breakfast or lunch. But, literally, I oouldn't stand it when the Pillsbury Company used the tune of "Tangerine" for the commercial. Rats! Those jingles still drive both my father and me crazy!

I LOVED the Vanilla figurines back in the late 70's early 80's....Pillsbury really needs to bring these back, in fact they need to see this blog to see just how much they are missed! My 35 yr old daughter remembers sneaking into them when she was a kid...I really wish they'd come back!

My sister and I used to sneak these from my mom. I loved the vanilla ones, I would get in so much trouble for eating all of them. My mom finally just kept them put up in her room. I loved them wish they would come back.

I've never had one but my husband and his sisters still crave them to this day. Every time they bring up their childhood they mention the figurine bars. They would steal them from their mom and eat the entire box. lol I'd love to find them for their sakes. It sounds like most people feel the same way.

Omg!!!! I loved those figurine bars...and i did lose weight....also the Ayds diet chews ! remember those??? i lost 40 pounds!!!

I have often wondered about the figurines bars... I also stole them from my mother whenever I had the chance. I was just eating some of the new Keebler 10 Calorie Right Bites: Fudge Shoppe Fudge Dipped Pretzels and for a few bites, they had the crumbly goodness of the figurines "filling". I sometimes wish they would come back, and sometimes not because I would probably gain weight eating so many :)

I actually lost weight in 1978using figurine bars. I ate only figurines for breakfast and lunch and healthy dinner. I too have searched long and hard and I think I have found something similar! They are called Power Crunch protein bars 13g protein and 5g sugar. They taste so much like Figurines especially the special wafer crunch. It in a product of cananda. powercrunch.com Enjoy!!

I have been researching if Figurines are still on the market somewhere in the world. I am amazed at all these comments! When I was in high school (grad. 1978) I would have the Chocolate Mint not because I did not need to lose weight but because they tasted so good. Would love to have them now to be able to lose some weight!

I loved loved Figurines... I had been trying to remember the name of these for a long time too... These were so good.. I didn't need to lose weight or anything.. heck i was just a very young kid. My mom would buy these for me after I begged and begged..she'd try to tell me that it was a diet bar..but I didn't care.they tasted so good!! I loved Chocolate.. I wish they would make them again :(

I loved the vanilla! a little toasted coconut on the top. If i remember right they changed them before the went off the market and the change was not good. OMG!! I used to sneak the Ayds diet chews! I guess no one would buy them now with that name.

The closest thing I found to Figurines are protein bars by powercrunch.com. They are creme filled wafer bars - choc and vanilla. Not very healthy though but worth a good Figurine flash-back. Walgreens St. Louis has these now but probably not for long (12 grams of fat!).

i really liked the figurine diet bar. if theres anywhere i can find them i would like to know

OMG! My sister and I have been sitting here reading the majority of these entries just giggling out loud! We can relate to just about every entry! Our Mom would get these at the grocery store every Friday, and even her attempts at hiding them from us couldn't keep them in the house! Love, Love,Love 'em!!! We will each be sending an email to Pillsbury requesting their return! Maybe we should start a support group! Ha Ha!

im looking for figurine bars to buy i loved them all where can i buy some

My grandmother used to buy the vanilla figurines. She gladly would share them with me, and I was about 7 yrs. old at the time. Around the mid eighties, I was born in 1978, and I knew they were diet bars and my mother thought I was crazy, but me and gram knew just how great they were. Brings back fond memories of our time spent together when I was a kid! Where can I find out about getting them back on the market? Pilsbury, are you listening? Love, love loved Figurines!!

So many people never completed withdrawl! LOL

YES YES YES!! My grandmother bought us figurines all the time. I would buy it at the foodland in podunk, TN and Oh I wish pillsbury would bring them back!!

I was looking on the web to see if I could find Figurines any where,I lost a lot of weight about 80 pounds and my kids and husband all liked them,couldn't keep them in he house,ate them for breakfast and lunch then a reg. meal for dinner

They were the best bars. i can see the pkg and taste the wafer in the chocolate ones. We have to get pillsbury to make more

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED vanilla Figurines years ago. Pillsbury please please please please please bring them back. No need to market them as a diet bar just do it as an indulgent snack bar. I would buy them regularly. My kitchen would always be stocked with them!!!!!

I loved them, too - last time I saw them in the stores was sometime in the early/mid 1990's. BUT I found something that is shockingly close in flavor to the chocolate figurines bar - the Nestle Crunch CRISP bars. They are currently in stores - not the plain Nestle Crunch - look for the Nestle Crunch "Crisp" bars - wafers with chocolate filling/coating. They are the closest I've found to that wonderful chocolate figurine flavor. I hope you enjoy them!

I totes remember these very well too. They were sort of exclusively "mom's" property and we knew not to indulge in them. I do remember that faint "diety" after taste. Mom would enjoy them with either a Tab or a Diet Dr. Pepper, when the cans were still blue. Also, remember the Diet Mr. Pibb can? I love the 70s.

I've looked forever to find anything that tasted like vanilla Figurines and finally found it! Its a high proteen wafer bar called Power Crunch. Its got the same high fat sugary but diet aftertaste lol. You can get them at 7-11 or GMC stores or Trader Joe's. Also, you can also go to BNRG dot com to check it out

I think I remember a strawberry one, if it's the same bars as I remember. My mom used to get them and they were wonderful! I would probably find them waxy now though, lol! I've seen some frosted wafer cookies around, that's the most similar thing I could think of.

Ther was something about Figurines that once you've tried themn the craving stays with you forever. I can 't think of any other food that has that effect. Strange but wonderful; would love to see them back on the market. Does Pillsbury know about this site? They should.

"Figuriiiiines do a lady proud, they're the diet lunch that you can crunch out looooooud, Figuriiiines help keep you as you are, with the calorie rate, 138 a baaaaaar...my shape belongs to Fiiiiguuuuriiiiiies." It's been stuck in my head all these years. I'm not sure if the lyrics are correct but they're close.

I just tasted Clodhoppers (vanilla)..."The Original Graham Clusters" and they taste exactly like the vanilla figurine bars. They are distributed by Brookside Fruit Company, Inc. (Product of Canada). They are in little clusters similar to popcorn, but taste exactly like the figurine diet bars. Hope this helps someone..:)

I have been searching everywhere to get figurines I didn't know they aren't available anymore Thats too bad they were great.I lost weight using them plus they tasted great Please bring them back

Please tell me where to purchase those figurines bars I live in Orlando Fla Thank -You

I would love for Pillsbury to produce Figurines once again but only if they use the original recipe. Btw---although the Power Crunch Bars are good---in my opinion, the original recipe Figurines in any flavor beat them--(maybe because of the additional fat and sugar content--LOL).

Figurines were simply awesome! The regular ones and not the Figurines 100 kind. It would really be nice if there was a petition of request that could be sent to Pillsbury. It's not about the "diet" standard, it is about great tasting snacks back on the shelf. Pillsbury can make a profit and make the rest of us happy!

thanks for all your tips on things that are similiar in taste, i would like to know if there was something unhealthy about figurines because like all of you i ate alot of them, they were addictive, love to know the ingredients, i am going to try and call pillsbury for info

I used to buy figurines every time I shopped! I loved them! I was truly disappointed when they were discontinued! I wish they'd bring them back! What happened to them? They were the best!

I think about them all the time . I loved eating my mom's Figurines whenI was a kid. strawberry was my favorite but also like vanilla and chocolate.

wish i could order figurines online or buy them in alabama! loved these back in 70's & 80's!! helped keep me and mom in good shape!

Rite Aide has Power Crunch bars at $1.99! I tried the triple chocolate crunch and it was amazing. 210 calories and 10 carbs!!! Taste and look just like figurines!!!! Yummy! They also have Slimmies, that look like the Ayds candy. Haven't tried yet,

As I ate my Special K Bar for lunch I started dreaming of my beloved Figurines. I haven't thought of them in years. I so enjoyed all the comments - I too used to sneak them from my mom. Chocolate Mint was so goood. PLEASE Pillsbury - bring them back!!

Figurines and Slender bars were how I lost 80 pounds in 6 months after giving birth to my daughter in 1979. I don't know why those worked so much better than the "protein" and other meal replacement bars of today, but they did. I continued to use them as needed as my daughter grew up; even she remembers how delicious they were (and she was very young)!! I wish Figurines and Slender bars would come back, I'd buy them in a heartbeat! I know my daughter would too!! Pillsbury and Carnation, listen to your loyal customers! So many years have passed and we still remember the success only you made possible!

as a kid i was a lit chubby and when i was introduce to figurines frm television i went out and got aolt of boxes of them diff flavors. in childhood this was my dream come to i only ate them instead of food and lost alot of weight... oh how i wished i had them right now..... please bring them back... i need them right now.....smiller

Yum, I remember those. I loved the chocolate ones. I wish they still made them, need more tasty diet food.

Reading these comments really makes me laugh. All of these people sound like they were addicted to Figurines, and I was too!!! Truly miss them! The vanilla were really the only ones me and my gram ate because she bought them and I ate hers. I must have been around 5-7yrs. old then, mid-80's. Don't know when they stopped making them, but would do anything to taste the vanilla again!! And I mean anything! LOL. Pillsbury, do you hear us?!

I loved Figurines! I only bought the Chocolate~yummy. I don't care if they were a diet bar or not they were SO good. I wish Pillsbury would bring them back. The "diet" bars are so popular now...it may just be a real profit maker for them! About the closest thing to it is Skinny Cow's heavenly crisp milk chocolate bars found at Target...but still not as good a Figurines. Ahhh, how I miss them.

My grandmother used to pack these when she would visit us, when I was a kid. Or, I'd dig in her pantry at her house. My favorite were the caramel flavored, they might be considered the chocolate bars. But, I could eat so many. At the age I was they decided I didn't need them, but was caught on occasion anyways! I'd love to see these back on store shelves too.

Figurine was my first diet when i was 13yrs old i ate one before school and one at school for lunch i was so in shape and owed that to the bars I loved them so much i wish they were back i buy them in a new york minute !!!!

The chocolate bar was my lunch in the late 70's and early 80's. I, too, have been looking for these over the last several years. The light crisp wafer and chocolate flavor (a flavor that was all its own) was wonderful. Pillsbury.......bring them back, please, and let us know why they were discontinued. (Is is really, as I read on another link before I got to this one, that they were very high in iodine)?

i have GREAT news!!!! no, they haven't started making figurines, the diet food of my mother and my pre-teen self. (we combined it with tab.) BUT i did accidently purchase a "Power Crunch" bar at Trader Joes (my kids put it in the cart b/c it has a picture of a reeses cup on it). We shared it and I was FREAKING OUT in front of my kids because it tasted exactly like a figurine!!! there might be two flavors. I bought the peanut butter fudge. it's so good. again, not a diet food. but if you loved figurines, you're in luck. here's some more info in case you have trouble finding it: "power crunch" "Protein energy bar" product of canada. powercrunch.com by the way, i'm a mom and artist, don't work for the company. if i did, i'd make a gluten free version so my husband could see what all the fuss was about. he never had a figurine in his childhood....

I too used Figurines Vanilla to maintain my weight and my waistline. The best part of those 2 bars were, you were not all consumed with a "diet" you enjoyed yourself and the Dr. was happy too! I am going to ask The Vermont Country Store to bring it back. They have brought just about everything from my childhood back with the exception of Pomac- my favorite soft drink.

I remember trying to go on a diet in the early 80s with Figurines. You were supposed to only eat a couple, within the context of a sensible diet. I opened the box, and loved them so much that I ate the whole box in one setting! I dearly wish they'd bring these back.

Oh how I wish they would sell these again. I've tried several other diet bars and they all have a funky taste to them. But figurine bars were so tasty - especially frozen! yum. I lost weight so well on them. I need them back!!!!

I spoke to the Vermont Country Store. They( thier Buyers) are investigating them for us! Keep your fingers crossed.

Try power crunch bars at the vitamin shoppe, they are very similar and full of protein. 200 calories and not full of chemicals and sugar. They are awesome especially the French vanilla!

The new Skinney Cow Heavenly Crisp reminds me of Figurines. 110 calories.

I just wrote to Pilsbury begging them to bring them back.

I loved the chocolate ones!! I used to eat them when I was growing up as snacks. I wish that Pilsbury would start making them again....they were so good!

loved reading all these comments, my favorites were chocolate mint and vanilla (think it had almond flavor in it too) and I was humming the song and fell upon this site... sure wish they were still on the market, loved them!

I looked them up to see if they were still being sold.. :( I miss them so much. I'm 26 now and I use to eat them when I was really young. I would sneak into the cabinet and eat them, so good. I want them to come back.

I just found an old coupon for 50 cents off 2 packages of Figurines 100 Diet Bars. The date is 1987, no expiration date, so I held on to it. I enjoyed them in high school also and lost almost 20 pounds. Chocolate was my favorite. I kept the weight off until I was 33 or so. I could use them now!

Do they still make Figurines?? I loved those things.

I too remember these bars. I loved the chocolate mint ones the best and would live to be able to buy them again!! I to would raid my moms stash of them, then when I got older bought and hid my own!! Please bring them back Pilsbury!!

when ever i go south to winnipeg i pretend not to look for the chocolate bar called(snackbar). and ever since since i haven't seen them for years not,i wonder why they never make them anymore,i wish they could bring them back to the stores again.

PLEASE PILSBURY, BRING BACK THE FIRGURINE BARS, I LOVED THEM SO MUCH. THANKS

I loved these SOOO much---I would get them in my EASTER BASKET---go figure that....It doesn't surprise me that they are not good for you, but were so good!

Wow, I didn't realize so many other people liked these too! I remember my mom buying these as a kid. They were really good. It might sound strange, but I can actually kindof remember the flavor in my brain. The chocolate mint ones seem to stand out. That'd be great if they brought them back. I'll put in my request to Pillsbury. Thanks to the Admin for setting up this page!

OMG,I have been looking for these bars for years! My mom ate them years ago and got me hooked on them too! Actually, I ate them in High School in 1982 and did lose weight on them! MOM and I both LOVED the Vanilla! Please let me know where I can buy them, if they are still out there and IF NOT-BRING THEM BACK, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! Waiting patiently for a response! HELP!!!!!

WOW! These bars changed my life back in the early 80s. I went from a size 16 to almost a 3 in just 6 months on them..it was amazing! I never was hungry after i ate 2 for breakfast and 2 for lunch then a small dinner and another 2 for a snack every day lol. Oh how i miss them!! My fav was chocolate man it was so goooood!! Pillsbury you need to bring them back!!! Does anyone remember the diet Nestle shakes in a can? Those were great as well and really worked for me. YUM!

I've been looking for these bars fir tears. The last time I saw them was about 2000 and one walgreens store had them. Went back and no more. I wrote pillsbury years ago as well as the Vermont country store. My aunt use to buy them and leave them in her room. I'm not sure she ever got any of the chocolate becuz I ate them all. Skinny as a rail but just are them like candy!

I feel so much better knowing that others share my love for Figurines. My favorite were the chocolate and peanut butter. Unfortunately, I was on a diet in the fourth grade and these helped my sugar craving! I'm trying to remember the name of the other bars that were around at the time of Figurines. I think they were from Carnation-they were smaller and thicker than the FIgurines. Does anybody know the name??

These bars were around in the 80's and 90's also! I use to buy the chocolate ones to eat for my lunch at work! It did keep my weight down! I sure wish they would bring them back!!!

I just emailed Pillsbury myself. Those chocolate figurine bars were what I lived on way back then! Easy and yummy! Maybe Pillsbury will bring them back... Nothing lost by asking, right?!!!

i wanna buy some, i loved the chocolate, if anyone knows of a site to purchase them let me know

When I was in third grade of we got rewarded by our teacher Mrs. Golmore she gave the chosen student each day the other half of her figurine bar, they were the vanilla ones. I would love to have one again, they were tastee.
