Anyone looking for a relatively cheap and slightly unusual addition to their SpaceX toys collection might want to consider a cereal model premium from Mexico.
I understand that these are based on the R&L Kellogg space model style although I have never seen any old adverts for them or seen them available outside of Mexico so they may have been produced solely for that market. They include the Nova Rocket as appears in the SpaceX and Golden Astronaut ranges of toys.
Currently I can see individual 2 Novas on auction:
and one as part of much more expensive mixture:
Other models, like the Nova, are based on Ed Valigursky's space paintings from the Man and Space book of the 1960's.
I've blogged about these before here: 'Cex Mex and Mexican Valigursky, which even include the building modules for the moon [pair, bottom left] and the Booster Rocket [top right second down]
If you have any maybe built up and painted we'd love to see them! Email address at the bottom of the page!
