It started out as a simple hobby when, lo and behold, I realized I have just accumulated 20,000 distinct toy characters in my collection... and the number is still growing. This blog is a great space to share to others just how amazing some of these characters are especially the ones that may have been forgotten or perhaps even those deemed insignificant. Visit Percy's World of Toys as often as you can and witness how the list progresses right before your eyes. Enjoy.

192. Wat Tambor
Wat Tambor was a Skakoan male from the planet Skako. He was the Foreman of the Techno Union and Executive of Baktoid Armor Workshop, and also held the title of "Emir." Beginning his career as the Techno Union Representative in the Galactic Senate, Tambor shot up through the ranks of the Union, eventually getting the top job. He agreed to help fund and supply Count Dooku's separatist government, the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and when war broke out between the Separatists and the Galactic Republic, Tambor began devising new ways to gain a technological advantage.
In effort of multiple plots, including invading the planet Ryloth, and manufacturing C-B3 cortosis battle droids, Tambor was able to make a concerted contribution to the war effort. In the waning stages of the war, Tambor set up shop on Xagobah, where he was assailed by both Republic forces and bounty hunters. He was rescued by the Confederate General Grievous, and united with the Separatist Council. In 19 BBY, he was called back to his homeworld of Skako, where he was sent on a spiritual journey by the Elders of the Power Mounds. During his journey, he saw his future, and eventually went to the planet Mustafar to meet it. There, he was slain by Darth Vader, along with the other members of the Council, concurrent with the declaration of the New Order.
