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.

2331. Simon Seville
Simon Seville is an anthropomorphic chipmunk from the boy band Alvin and the Chipmunks.
He is considered the nerd of the group. When the Chipmunks first became famous in 1958, Simon did not get any fan mail, until the creators made an episode just for him. According to the creators, "After that, the fan mail came a-flowin'!" In addition to having an IQ just north of Albert Einstein, Simon possesses a very dry sense of humor as well as a keen wit. Alvin exploits Simon's master mind for his crazy schemes because he is smart enough to carry them out. His signature color is blue, and he has blue eyes and black glasses; his glasses had blue frames after the 1983 television series' second season up until the show's final season, and in The Chipmunk Adventure. He also is the tallest of the three. He plays the bass, bass clarinet, saxophone, bagpipes, tuba, and drums, among others. He is shown playing the keyboard in the original open for the 1980s series. He was also shown playing guitar in a 1980s Hardee's commercial. He is the smartest of the Chipmunks and the second oldest. He is voiced by Ross Bagdasarian. He also shares a subtle, romantic relationship with female counterpart Jeanette of the Chipettes, who is similar to him in many ways.
