These are the GREATEST COLLECTIONS in the WORLD
Here at Guinness World Records, we love discovering incredible collections of pretty much anything you can imagine!
People from all around the world find one toy, hobby, TV character or just anything they feel passionate about, and then collect hundreds and even thousands of unique items themed after that one thing.
And of course… we give them a world record title!
Do you collect anything?
Get inspired to start a collection, or grow your existing one, by looking at some of the most jaw-dropping ones out there…
Joker
Owner of the largest collection of Joker memorabilia in the world, Megan Pierce from Bloomington, Indiana, USA, has 2,318 items dedicated to the DC Comics villain neatly stored in rooms in her house.
WOW!
The character became popular because of his twisted sense of humour, his crazy smile and circus-themed tricks… Are you a Joker fan?
As you can see, Megan has even dyed her hair green to match his!
Pretty cool, isn’t it?
Squishmallows
Aren’t Squishmallows just perfect for cuddles?
Sabrina Dausman, a 27-year-old from Mascoutah, Illinois, USA, owns the largest collection of Squishmallows, which totalled 1,523 when last officially counted.
And just in case you thought record breaking was easy, here is what she told us:
“[On several occasions], I have driven 2 hours away to get the newest Squishmallows.
“I also have waited for 2 hours in the cold for a store to open so I could make sure I get the Alexie the Cow Squishmallows I was looking for!”
Funko Pop!
Do you own any Funko Pop! figurines?
Think of your favourite superhero, videogame character, sporting legend or musician and Paul Scardino has probably got a Funko Pop! in their image.
Paul from Virginia, USA, holds the record for the largest collection of Funko Pop! figurines with a grand total of 8,002.
And the most amazing part? He used to hold the record years ago, then someone else grew a collection larger than him… only for Paul to take the record back in 2023!
That is truly iconic.
Minions
Liesl Benecke from Western Australia has been collecting a curious amount of canary-coloured buddies… Minions, that is!
Do you like the playful yellow creatures from the movie Despicable Me?
Liesl holds the record for the largest collection of Minions memorabilia. She started her collection 15 YEARS ago, and she has obtained 1,035 Minions from all over the world – spanning clothing, movie posters, stuffies, keyrings, figurines, and even a tattoo!
Success takes time and requires a lot of patience, but it’s always worth it in the end.
