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.

1420. Slayer
If you want to have some fun. Try to make Slayer run. Tickle his tail, then you'll know. Just how fast he can go!
Ty, Inc. has been involved in a large amount of fundraising. Some has been through the sale of certain Beanie Babies in which the proceeds have been donated to various causes. Other times, it has been through other means, such as voting for a fee.[3]
One such fundraising Beanie Baby made by the company was called Ariel, made to raise funds for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. Its sales raised a total of $3.4 million for the foundation.[4] Others include Aware and Awareness, sold to raise funds for breast cancer research and awareness, and Barbaro, created in memory of Barbaro the Horse to raise funds for the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine which tried to save the horse.
Ty has also raised money for the 2004 PGA Tour with a beanie called ChariTee; an example signed by Jack Nicklaus was auctioned for $455.[5]
Ty was the shirt sponsor of Portsmouth FC from 2002 to 2005, in which the club was promoted to the Premier League.
