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.

3169. Golden Monkey 2004
This golden monkey is probably created by McDonalds in collaboration with Creata HK Ltd. to represent the different animals in the Chinese calendar. The fabric used for this toy has a very shiny shin to it that it succeeded in its attempt to display a golden color. Gold is very typical of Chinese character as this represents wealth and prosperity. As the McDonald tagline adapted at the time these toys were made available goes,"I'm Loving It." This Golden Monkey I mean and the wealth and prosperity it could bring.
