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.

2130. Weber Robot
Weber is one of the robot inventions of the ingenius Brainard in the Disney movie of 1997 entitled, Flubber. This remake of Disney's 1961 classic, "The Absent-Minded Professor", stars Robin Williams as Professor Philip Brainard, who invents a hyperelastic polymer which returns more energy than is put into it. This basically means that if you throw it at something, it will bounce back harder than you threw it. He names his invention "Flubber" (flying rubber). Albeit he is merely a cameo character, Weber together with Weebo (another robot invention of Philip Brainard), provided company and a sense of family for the absent minded professor.
This Weber Robot is a McDonald's Promotional Wind-Up Toy.
