Ron English’s Fat Tony Pre-Orders at ToyQube
Cereal fans, take a look at this Fat Tony vinyl toy that’s up for pre-order at ToyQube. Looks like a great addition to your cereal mascot collection . . . even if it’s completely unofficial and totally whacked! 9-inches tall, articulated arms, and actually not at all a bad price at $60. Gina said she would pass, but it looks like a fun toy to me.
The 100% Nutrition-Free Vinyl Toy Sugary cereals captured the hearts of Young America by giving away cheap toys made in China in every box. This prize at the bottom of the box actually ate the cereal.

So tempted to get this for my brother. I think there is a few more in this line also.
@Marv – I saw a color variant on this same sculpt, but are there other characters in the series?
Maybe it was just the one and I was hoping for more. I am a big health nut so I get a big laugh out of this.
