Alcanzar una Estrella became a massive hit with youngsters and Ricky became a teen idol for the second time, this time in Mexico. With the series band Muñecos de Papel, the Puerto Rican toured Latin America and recorded an album, but after a year, the band broke up and each one of them pursued a solo career.
By that time, all the cast filmed a movie based on the popular series, Más que Alcanzar una Estrella (Beyond reaching for a star), that of course, was a major hit in Mexican cinemas.
