Percival R. Lugue has been collecting toys from fast food restaurants in his native Philippines since the 1980s, when he was just 5 years old.
His collection, which is made up mostly of toys from McDonald’s and local fast-food chain Jollibee, made him a Guinness World Record holder in 2014 when he hit the 1000 piece mark. Since then, he’s doubled his collection. VICE interviewed him here. Scroll through a sampling of his prizes below; he had to build a second house to display them! It’s called the Happy Meal House, of course.
