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.

4279. Little Miss Sunshine
Little Miss Sunshine is the fourth book in the Little Miss series. There was a king who lived in a castle in Miseryland. Little Miss Sunshine was on holiday. She saw a sign saying, "This way to Miseryland", so she went to Miseryland and saw a guard at the bridge door. Little Miss Sunshine gave the guard a big smile; he took her to see the King of Miseryland. She had an idea, and Little Miss Sunshine and the king went back to her car. She made a new sign saying, "Laughter Land"; she laughed, and the king laughed too.
Little Miss Sunshine is a regular in the 2008 TV series The Mr. Men Show. She kept her looks and personality (except her hair and nose changed from yellow to light tan) and ran a morning show called "Good Morning Dillydale" with Mr. Happy. Her house was pink with a flowerbed, and flowers on the house as well. In the UK and US versions, she is voiced by Alicyn Packard, Jo Wyatt (season one) and Emma Tate (season two). Little Miss Sunshine's name and picture have been featured on many clothing designs, including track pants and sweaters.

4013. Little Miss Giggles
Little Miss Giggles is the fourteenth book in the Little Miss series by Roger Hargreaves.
Little Miss Giggles is blue with freckles, a yellow nose,red hair and yellow clips.
Little Miss Giggles can't stop giggling! One day while her daily walk, she loses her giggle, and meets Mr. Happy. Mr. Topsy-Turvy sugests that they should go see Dr. Makeyouwell. To solve the problem, Mr. Happy gives Little Miss Giggles a "giggle".
Little Miss Giggles is in the second season of The Mr. Men Show. She's voiced by Reba West and Pui Fan Lee. She looks the same as she did in the books except she has a darker shade of blue, a different pattern of freckles on her left chin, and her clips no longer have holes in them. When she giggles, she can sometimes get out of control. She can sometimes be annoying.

Added by Little Miss Cute
she was seen as a policewoman in Fairies & Gnomes and is often seen picking up the phone for a company she's working for.
Trivia
First Appearance: Picnics (Speaking)
Her feet are like Little Miss Sunshine's.
In Picnics, Little Miss Giggles appeared with Mr. Funny...even though Mr. Funny made her laugh.
She didn't care that Mr. Rude is acting rude and has bad manners.
She was kidnapped by a Pterodactyl.
Her giggling is always out of control.
She was seen as a policewoman in Fairies & Gnomes.
She had been angry once, and only once, in Cinema.
She plays ball with Miss Sunshine in Seashore.
She has been seen with all characters (except Mr. Noisy, Little Miss Helpful, Mr. Bounce, Little Miss Calamity, Mr. Lazy, Mr. Messy, Little Miss Naughty, Mr. Nosey, Mr. Small (but she was mentioned by him in Pets), Little Miss Whoops, Mr. Stubborn, Little Miss Daredevil, Little Miss Magic, Little Miss Curious and Mr. Tall who haven't been seen with her so far).
She's one of the few characters who felt bad that Mr. Bump got hurt in Supermarket. Then she giggled at the end though that may be because she can't help her giggles, implying that she doesn't care if he gets hurt.
She can't even finish a sentence.
She is always the person that works for hotlines, and somehow mr men that she sends gets at the caller's house instantly.

3692. Mr. Funny
Mr. Funny is the eighteenth book in the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves. Mr Funny lived inside a large teapot. So he decided to go out for a funny drive. While he was driving along the road, a Large Pig laughed to see his car and a worm laughed as well. Eventually Mr Funny came to some sign posts. One of them says "This way to the Zoo." Unfortunately all the animals at the zoo have colds. He ends up cheering up the zoo animals with his jokes and humour before driving home again. No one has a sense of humour like Mr. Funny.
He is now a character in The Mr. Men Show, during its second season. He almost looks the same, but his flower and gloves are absent and has a white and red polka-dotted bow tie, his hat is also bent and he has Mr. Rude's nose, only it's red. In the show, Mr. Funny never spoke, and all of his sketches are done in mime and he acts like a clown, his only noises being the sounds of horns and whistles, similar to comedian Harpo Marx.
Mr. Funny appears under the titles Monsieur Rigolo (French), Don Bromista (Spanish), Unser Herr Lustig (German), Meneer Grapjas (Dutch), Ο Κύριος Αστείος (Greek), 趣味先生 (Taiwan), 웃겨씨 (Korean), Herra Fyndinn (Icelandic) and Senhor Engraçado (Portuguese).
