A 49-YEAR-OLD man with the largest collection of Daleks in the world features in the newest weird and wonderful collection of the 2012 Guinness World Records. it has emerged.
Rob Hull is recognised for having the largest collection of the Doctor Who baddies, with a staggering total of 571 models. His hoard, which includes a 6ft life-size replica model, is the product of 20 years of passionate collecting, even though he is not interested in the show.
Mr Hull, from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, said: “I’ve never been a fan of the show, but I have been enchanted by the Daleks ever since I saw one in a toy store as a child.
“My mum wouldn’t buy it for me, but I swore at that moment that I’d have my own one day.”
He said he bought his first Dalek at the age of 29 and since then they had slowly taken over the house.
Other bizarre new records include Christine Walton, 45, from Las Vegas, who has been revealed as the owner of the Longest Fingernails, measuring an astonishing 10ft 2ins (309.8cm) on her left hand and 9ft 7ins (292.1cm) on her right hand – a total of 19ft 9ins (601.9cm).
