Hi,

Just got a haul of cheap toys through today. And is Cinnamon colour only made in uk set?

Also is there any other way of telling. I ask as im colour blind in reds and greens and I have red cheap toys but the tones look too close for me to tell.

other signs this figure has is little specks in the plastic. I thought this was dirt to start with but its clearly within the plastic.

Thanks for any help and i'll post photos of my cheap toys collection soon :)

Cinnamon are UK only, yes. Specks in the (slightly translucent) figure are one of the major identifiers, the other is: does it float in water?

good score rabbit, does being color blind take away from your enjoyment of the gpk figures? just wondering. also, some red series 2 cheap toy figs also have the "speckles" in their plastic also, this was brought to my attention by jackson after we did a transaction, and he is correct i just never bothered to backlight my series 2 reds with a flashlight

The red series 2 Phil I have is "cinnamon like" It is semi-translucent with flecks throughout it. The flecks are a different size and shape compared to the UK cinnamon figs. The flecks in the Phil are longer, more "thread like", while the flecks in my cinny adam and alice are more like tiny grains of black sand. That's the best way I can think to describe it lol

NIce score on the cinny megan!

Do all the figures in your recent score float? And if they do...feel free to unload any doubles or figures you're not interested in on me:) I've recently been adding UK floating figs to my collection.

Buying a lot of 20 Cheap Toys for - well - cheap, emptying them into a bowl of water and watching every single one float was one of the most enjoyable experiences I've had in toy collecting :)

I agree there,

when I got the bunch of cheap toys I did the same thing. filled up the sink and drop each one in one at a time.

big smiles on my face when they kept on rising to the surface :)
