Blocky the Rock

Blocky the Rock is a fictional character created by Kuboian television presenter Ericka Streets. He served as a puppet character and one of the mascots for the television channel KT from 1999 to 2008.

History
The original Blocky the Rock stuffed toy was a toy Ericka had as a baby and would sleep with at night.

Blocky made his debut on KT in July 1999, and appeared alongside other generic unnamed animal puppets before they were mostly phased out in favour of Blocky being the main mascot. Like Tack the Rat, he could not speak, but was capable of making sounds. The Blocky toy used for KT differs from the original as it had a movable mouth and eyelids.

Following the introduction of Orange the Owl in 2003 and Ms. Tulip in 2005, Blocky remained on-air but had his prominence decreased. From 2005, he usually only appeared in continuity links that featured Ericka, or in links that featured all the puppets.

After KT closed in 2008, the Blocky the Rock plush used for KT was handed over to Ericka Streets. Following the death of Ericka in 2010, both the original and KT plush toys have been held by her family.
