To all those out in cereal toy land please pay close attention to the following information . While some R&L cereal toys are rare , please be aware that  the original molds are still usable and are in mexico . The Mexican company who bought these molds years ago still use them to supply cereal toys . Some are in different colors to the original R&L issues but are not rare as they are modern . Ive seen plenty of these copies sold in the last few months on ebay and very often they are bieng sold as rare colour variations of original toys . To the few sellers who tell customers these are modern copies , we thank you but to the others we give nothing .  Also beware that copies of black top hats and crowns are also bieng to go on the rarer issues . These hats / crowns do not make your toy more valuable as the molding is different to the original and a serious collector can tell the difference .I would also like to draw your attention to the fact that R&L also sold thier toys to other companies who packaged them in sets  and so some of the toys may not be cereal issues , so always ask .  thanks justin
