Hope has the world’s largest collection of Jellycats!

Meet Hope Roberts, the British teen who broke a world record thanks to her love for Jellycats!

She may be just 19 years old, but she's already a record-breaking legend with the world's largest collection of Jellycat memorabilia.

The collection, that is clearly taking over her bedroom, contains 877 unique items.

WOW!

Did you know that the very first Jellycat soft toy was released in 1999, and that since then about 20,000 more individual items have been made?!

Some of the most popular items include the Bartholomew Bear, Bashful Bunny and the Ricky Rain Frog.

And each character can have a different number of variations including the expression on their face, their outfit and their size.

Do you have any Jellycats?

Hope began collecting them because she thought “they were really cute” – and we couldn’t agree more.

She got her first one, a small rabbit, for just 20p in a local charity shop.

It was love at first sight – since then, she has quickly grown her collection and even has personalised jellycats with her name on!

And when we asked her to pick a favourite, Hope said: “I couldn’t choose one, I love them all too much.”

What’s your favourite toy in the world?

To confirm her record, our official Guinness World Records Adjudicator Emma Salt visited her in Bedfordshire, UK, and counted each and every one of her Jellycats.

“The count itself was fairly straightforward,” Emma said. “The items were neatly organized (until I messed it all up with my counting - I did ask Hope if it was okay beforehand!).

“And she was completely up for our mad [filming] requests, like burying her in a sea of Jellycat toys!”

Sounds like a crazy day, but it was definitely worth it.

Do you collect anything? How many items are in your collection?

Congratulations, Hope – you and your Jellycats are Officially Amazing!
