5) Every super soaker ever made

This man has actually purchased every super soaker that was ever put on the market, it totals to over 200! Many of them are still boxed, perhaps he believes that the price for this ‘antique’ may be better if he keeps them unopened and unused.

4) Pikachu

Belle, who has now been named Pika BelleChu by many of her friends decided to take the Pokémon slogan “Catch ‘em all” a bit too seriously. She in fact has collected over eight thousand Pokémon collectables – the problem is they are all the same!

She took it too far when she actually became a proud owner of the first car that has been modified to look like a Pikachu.

3) Dice

Kevin Cook is the owner of the most dice collection, to date he owns over 25 thousand dice which is constantly on the rise. He actually has a whole website dedicated to his collection if you have a few hours to spare that you don’t mind wasting. In the attempt to get into the Guinness World Records it has taken him over 5 years to photograph his collection.

2) Barbie

It’s every girls dream to have every single Barbie you can but one person has fulfilled that dream! A Dutch fashion designer has dedicated over 40 years of her life collecting these Barbie dolls that were supposedly for her daughter but people questioned that when she starting putting them in plastic cases keeping them safe.

1) Star Wars

Rob Foster has collected around 3 thousand Star Wars figurines and models which are stored in his bedroom. Some of the collectables are extremely rare, there was only 25 Gargan slave girls manufactured so I dread to think how much that cost him. It’s no question that he has the largest collection of this type in the world!

5) Celebrity Hair

Who in the world would want to collect celebrity hair, not only would you find it extremely difficult to prove legit – what are you going to do with it? Hope they master the cloning process and make your own celebrity family? You may not believe it but people actually buy it from places such as eBay and spend hundreds of pounds on it.

4) Nazi Gear

This is probably a collection you wouldn’t show the girlfriend but there are more people collecting this than you think. It has been hard to come across a few pieces as eBay refuse to sell Nazi related items over the internet and Yahoo actually got sued over Hitler’s speech noted being auctioned. Perhaps this is what makes it so tempting?

3) Tattoos from Corpses

Another weird but true collectable, a true tattoo fanatic will not only cover their skin in head to toe with them but there is only so much you can do. The next step is to remove the skin from dead people and keep them in your collection. It’s a fact that only a few people actually collect this type of item – I wonder why.

2) Pickled Fetuses

Aside being 100% illegal there still was one man who decided it was a good idea, C.M. Christ had the largest collection of fetuses when his sanctuary was raided and he was arrested for illegal possession of human remains. Perhaps they were not too keen on him charging people to actually see them like it was some sort of attraction.

1) Genital Casts

Just when you thought they couldn’t get any weirder you had to check this one out, the famous collector of this merchandise (if you can call it that) was Cynthia Albritton who travelled the US making casts of famous people’s private areas.
