Amazing Grace is a Lego Minifigure


LEGO people, officially called LEGO minifigures, were introduced in 1978 and have since become one of the most recognizable toy designs in the world. Standing about four centimeters tall, they feature a simple, iconic form with movable arms, hands, and legs, designed to fit perfectly within LEGO’s modular building system. Over time, minifigures evolved from basic yellow-faced characters with simple smiles into highly detailed figures with diverse facial expressions, hairstyles, accessories, and licensed identities from popular movies, games, and comics. These tiny characters help bring LEGO sets to life by encouraging storytelling, role-play, and creativity, making them central to both play and collecting. Today, LEGO people are cultural icons, celebrated for their timeless design and their role in inspiring imagination across generations.

Lego Bird Plane (McDonald’s 1986)



The Lego McDonald’s Happy Meal toy released in the Philippines in 1986 is remembered as one of the earliest promotional tie-ins that introduced many Filipino children to the charm of Lego’s brick-building play. Typically included as small polybag sets or mini buildable figures, these toys offered simple but engaging constructions—such as tiny vehicles, basic characters, or colorful block assortments—that reflected Lego’s classic aesthetic during the mid-1980s. Though modest compared to modern promotional builds, the 1986 sets were prized for providing an accessible taste of Lego creativity at a time when the brand’s products were not yet widely available in the country, making them nostalgic collectibles for Filipino toy enthusiasts today.

Percy's Fast Food Toy No. 758 - Joker (I Started A Joke)


Did you know? 

Arthur Fleck / Joker is a mentally ill, impoverished stand-up comedian disregarded by society, whose history of abuse causes him to become a nihilistic criminal.[9] Phoenix had been interested in a low-budget "character study" of a comic book character, and said the film "feels unique, it is its own world in some ways, and maybe ... It might as well be the thing that scares you the most." Phoenix lost 52 pounds (24 kg) in preparation, and based his laugh on "videos of people suffering from pathological laughter." He also sought to portray a character who audiences could not identify with and did not look to previous Joker actors for inspiration; instead, he read a book about political assassinations so he could understand killers and motivations. Director Todd Phillips said that he intentionally left it ambiguous as to whether Arthur becomes the actual Joker as seen in traditional Batman stories or inspires a separate character.

Percy was such a true blue fan of the 70's campy TV series so much so that during lunch breaks at 12:00 noontime he would go to his house to have his lunch there. Since their house is a stone throw away from the school, he would religiously do that everyday for a chance to eat hot and delicious home cooked meals and a chance to watch Batman and Robin which was incidentally shown from 12:00 to 12:30. Nice Schedule.

Bat Man Jigsaw Puzzle


Did you know?

Percy's first completed Jigsaw puzzle was a picture of Mickey Mouse and the gang in Disneyland. The picture left an indelible mark in his memory that he swore that he had been to Disneyland when in fact he hasn't traveled outside the Philippines and as we all know the Philippines has yet to build its own Disneyland. It was probably in dreamland that he experienced going to Disneyland...for real.
