If you’re dreaming of GWR glory but you’re not quite sure how to gain it, take a look at the toys in your bedroom.
You could get your hands on a world record just by enjoying yourself and engaging in your favourite playtime activities – how exciting is that?🤩
Let’s have a look at our tremendous toy records for some inspiration…
What’s your most-loved toy of all time?🪀
Largest collection of Care Bears memorabilia
American make-up artist Nicholas Cherrywood has over 1,000 items related to the Care Bears franchise!
His 1,234-piece collection includes books, DVDs, clothing and stationery, as well as lots and LOTS of cuddly teddies. 🧸
Nicholas’ appreciation for the colourful characters began when he was gifted plush toys of Grumpy Bear and Cheer Bear whilst he was in hospital as a child.
Years later, he still loves them, and has even changed his name to reference Mr Cherrywood from The Care Bears Movie. 💗
Largest collection of Pokémon memorabilia
When Lisa Courtney sees Pokémon goodies, she’s gotta catch ‘em all.😀
And she’s doing a very good job at it, with 17,127 items in her collection so far!
Most of Lisa’s memorabilia is from Japan - each time she travels there from the UK, she treats herself to between 8-12 boxes of keepsakes.
If you could collect anything, what would it be? 🤔
Largest mystery toy egg
Imagine how cool it would be getting a surprise egg that measures 280 cm (9 ft 2.2 in) tall and 183 cm (6 ft) wide! 😮
In comparison, normal-sized toy eggs are 7.5 cm (2.95 in) by 5 cm (1.96 in) – that’s over 30 times smaller!
So, the BIG question is, what was inside this one built by Sweetbox Factory in Dubai?
The answer is four toy building blocks and a giant lollipop. 🍭
Fastest time to build the LEGO® Star Wars Millennium Falcon micro fighter
After watching other record breakers online during the pandemic, 12-year-old Haddon Haste from USA knew he wanted a GWR title to call his own. 🏆
And what better record to attempt than one that combines two of his favourite hobbies: LEGO® and Star Wars.
After practising every day for a few months, Haddon constructed this 101-piece model in just 1 min 59.72 sec.
How fast could you build this set? ⏰
Tallest tower made from wooden toy blocks
After 4 days of carefully positioning 108,000 planks, Swiss YouTuber Benjamin Crouzier (aka KaplaBen) and his team assembled the tallest tower made from wooden toy blocks, measuring 27.46 metres.
That’s about the same length as 2 standard buses!🚌
Or two Brachiosaurus!🦕
Benjamin accomplished this record with the help of other talented builders, some of which were his family and friends: Antoine Crouzier, Bernard Crouzier, Michael Aitchison, Thomas Bosboom, Wout Dutoit, Mathieu Carillat, Vincent Franck, Alexander Franck, Antoine Sanchez, Thibault Piollat, Jonathan Wild, Enzo Bruder, Martin Lavigne, Hugo Pronost, Lily Hevesh, Joseph Silvente, Sophie Davis, Urla Ryan, Richard Juszt and Anna Muheim.
