His dedication to the intricate search process has paid off, as he has not only managed to achieve a Guinness World Records title, but specific collectors have asked for photos and autographs! Three years later, Paul officially broke the Guinness World Records title for the larg est collection of Funko Pop! figurines with 5,360 different figurines.

While Paul’s collection highlights one passion, he is also a clinical social worker who is passionate about social justice and equality. Due to the pandemic, Paul has spent a lot of time at home and as a result, began to evaluate his collection and make new decisions. A majority of his collection is displayed outside of their boxes, some are placed on top of the shelving units for display and the remaining are stored in large containers labeled for easy access.From that point forward, he looked to collect all the comic book related Funko Pop! figurines (Marvel and DC).

He spends a lot of time supporting mental health causes and initiatives in addition to services for at risk youth. After receiving his first two figurines for his birthday, he started researching the types of Funko Pop! figurines available. He has a list of stores and online vendors, as well as a unique community online to buy, sell, and trade for older Pops.He then realized there were several lines, including movies, television and animation. He started his collection by purchasing those that interested him, which grew to collecting most of the lines and trying to complete sets. Little did he and his family know that this small gift would turn into a record-breaking collection of over 5,000 figurines.
