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.
I Love Amazon

3613. Powder the snowman
Powder the snowman was born on October 3, 1998 just in time to make the necessary preparation for Christmas. Powder is such a funny snow man and thought of the white snow as some sind of a talcum powder. His idol is Frosty the snow man and someday he wants to be just like him and perhaps he could also have that is made just for him too.
Hardee's is a restaurant chain, located mostly in the Southeast and Midwestern regions of the United States. It has evolved through several corporate ownerships since its establishment in 1960. It is currently owned and operated by CKE Restaurants. Along with its sibling restaurant chain, Carl's Jr., Hardee's is the #5 U.S. fast-food restaurant chain after Subway, McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's. It is headquartered in downtown St. Louis, Missouri.
Hardee's founder, Wilbur Hardee, opened his first restaurant in Greenville, North Carolina, on September 9, 1960. On the strength of its manly menu items, including the Huskee, the chain experienced rapid growth by franchising and, to a lesser extent, by acquiring other restaurant chains. The first company store opened in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, in May 1961 by James Carson Gardner and Leonard Rawls on McDonald St. in downtown Rocky Mount. That location has since been razed.[8] According to Wilbur Hardee, Gardner and Rawls won a controlling share of the company from him in a game of poker. After realizing that he lost control over his namesake company, Hardee sold his remaining shares to them as well. The chain was headquartered in Rocky Mount until 2001.

3207. Hops the rabbit
Hops is peculiarly colored rabbit. A green rabbit is definitely original. He's born on March 25 2000. He's lovingly created by H March 25 2000 Hardess KidCO and by the KidCo.
Hardee's is a restaurant chain, located mostly in the Southeast and Midwestern regions of the United States.
Wilber Hardee opened his first namesake restaurant in Greenville, North Carolina in 1960. Five months later he had his first franchisee and over the years his burger chain has spread to become a favorite throughout the Midwestern and Southeastern United States.
Although most folks knew Hardee's® for its biscuits, all that changed during the Revolution of 2003: Hardee's® decided to pare down its menu and focus on the hearty 1/3-, 1/2- and 2/3-pound Thickburger® line. Made with 100% Angus beef, Thickburgers® established Hardee's® as a leader in the quick-service industry in both quality and taste.
Today, Hardee's ® forges ahead with a taste for edgy, memorable ads and delicious food-creating a fast-food experience that can't be topped this side of the Mississippi.
KidCo was incorporated in the fall of 1992 to specialize in the marketing, distribution and manufacturing of upscale consumer goods. KidCo products are targeted to retail outlets, including mail order catalogs and internet shops specializing in the juvenile, pet and fireplace industries.
The foundation of KidCo's product offering is a complete line of child, pet and hearth safety gates, designed and engineered in Denmark. The Gateway®, KidCo's first model was a completely new concept in pressure mounted, walk-through gate design. Since its inception, three additional pressure-mount gates and seven walk-through, wall mounted gates have been added to the line; including the ConfigureGate™, a "build your own gate system" for almost any application that does not have mounting points in a straight line. All KidCo gates pass not only the ASTM safety standards but also the much more stringent European requirements.
KidCo offers a comprehensive assortment of child home safety products. Each patented product offers features not found on products from the commodity suppliers of safety products intended to protect children. In 2000 KidCo's Toilet Lock won the JPMA Show Stopper award, as one of the best new products for that year. And again in 2004 another new home safety device, the Door Lever Lock, won the JPMA Innovation award. Manufactured on three continents, home safety items are delivered to KidCo's distribution center to supply the professional "Baby Proofer" market and packaged for the retail market.
In 2001, KidCo began manufacturing the Food Mill. A portable, non-electric food processor, the Food Mill has exploded into the infant feeding market, making it easy and convenient for moms to prepare fresh, home-made baby food anywhere. And in 2005, KidCo expanded this single item line into a full line of natural feeding products. BabySteps™ was introduced to help parents feed their infants fresh, healthy, homemade baby food.
KidCo's line of travel products includes the very popular PeaPod, an indoor/outdoor travel bed with inflatable air mattress; convenient BabySteps feeding accessories, great for on-the-go meals; and the Gateway To Go travel gate, perfect for temporary situations
In 2007, KidCo's product line expanded once again with the addition of high end, wooden Bed Rails offered in both natural (ready to finish) or white. The bed rails are currently available in two models: Convertible Crib(for transitioning toddlers to a big kid bed); and Children's, designed for both platform and mattress/box spring syle beds. Its a perfect expansion; bringing KidCo's safety expertise from a time when children are awake, to a time when they sleep.
In order to keep up with it's tremendous potential, KidCo's office and warehouse expanded a few times from 4,000 sq. ft. to a new 60,000 sq. ft. facility specifically designed for the needs of the growing business. The new suburban Chicago location has state of the art distribution and administration systems and KidCo personnel still personally ensure the highest level of customer service to both dealers and end consumers.
