  • According to: Guinness World Records
    Biggest Barbie doll collection Tony Mattia, 36, from Brighton, East Sussex, has 1,125 different Barbie dolls. His best find is a 1962 model bought for £1 and now worth over £200. His ambition is to find an original 1959 model, the year Barbie was born. Tony, who is profoundly deaf, says "My parents bought me an Action Man but I dressed him up in Barbie's clothes. My sisters always had Barbie dolls and I suppose I wanted to be like them." Barbie is a registered trademark. Orange suit supplied by Paul Smith Ltd
