A Georgia woman paid tribute to her favorite super hero by amassing the world’s largest collection of Wonder Woman memorabilia: 1,581 items.
Guinness World Records announced Cedartown resident Aleshia Wiley’s collection of memorabilia, including comic books, Funko Pop figurines, action figures, specialty toys and branded merchandise, officially took the title with 1,581 items.
Wiley said she fell in love with the character watching the Justice League animated series in the early 2000s.
“In those animations, she always stood her ground, was quick witted, and carried herself with strength and compassion,” she told Guinness World Records.
Wiley said she likes that Wonder Woman stands for female empowerment.
“Wonder Woman is a beacon of hope for girls and women everywhere, and a reminder that we need to support one another more,” she said. “She shows that true strength comes from within and together we have the strength of the Amazons. Over the years, her character has evolved alongside new generations, but one thing has always stayed the same: women can do anything, and together we are unstoppable!”
She said the “holy grail” of her collection is a comic book signed by writer Stan Lee and Lynda Carter, who played the titular character in the 1975 Wonder Woman TV series.
