A comic book superfan has said he achieved his “lifelong dream” by breaking the Guinness World Record for the largest collection of Deadpool memorabilia with a total of 2,250 items.
Gareth Peter Pahliney, from Cloghan in Ireland, kicked off his collection in 2006 and has since created his “happy place” full of Deadpool-related pieces, including a themed spatula, pot plant holder and a life-sized statue of the Marvel superhero.
The 41-year-old, who lives with his wife, Nikki, their seven-year-old son Liam and four-month-old daughter Sophie, said he acquires between 20 to 40 items a month – “sometimes more” – from all over the world.
