FROM the age of five, Filipino graphic artist Percival Lugue has had a passion for collecting toys from fast-food restaurant chains like McDonald’s, Burger King and home-country favourite Jollibee.

Now, nearly five decades later, the 50-year-old has about 20,000 toys packed from floor to ceiling in his home and holds a Guinness World Record from 2014, when his collection reached over 10,000 items.“The toy is like a storyteller in itself, ” said Lugue while sitting among an eclectic mix of toys in his three-storey home.
