Rise of the Guardians cup toppers.
This post is for the Toppers only, another post for the cups and popcorn buckets will come later.
The cup toppers were released globally among theaters who partnered with Snapco instead of Goldenlink. Primarily found in Asia and some areas of North and South America.
This series of toppers offers only three of the five Guardians: Jack Frost, Nicholas St. North, and Toothiana. The base of the figure is black, with the copyright, maker's mark, and lot numbers on the underside.
Goldenlink Cup Toppers
These were distributed in the UAE and throughout the European Union.
These toppers feature four of the five Guardians, Jack Frost, Bunnymund, Sandman, and Nicholas St North.

Their figurines closely match the designs for the Keyrings that would later be sold in a box set. North's in particular is unique as he stands atop a stack of gifts, fists on his hips, as one of the few figurines showing him without his iconic red overcoat.
The 22oz Goldenlink IML cup was widely distributed in Europe in multiple languages, but it is hard to come by in the global market, the cup toppers however appear much more frequently in online shops. The price can vary wildly depending on the location and the cost of shipping, an individual cup topper can go for as low at $5 each, I purchased my 3 unopened toppers for $20, my other toppers were found for between $5-$15.
