The largest collection of Mr Men memorabilia belongs to Joanne Black (UK), with 2,225 different Mr Men items;which she has been collecting since 2001. www.mrmentoybox.com Joanna started collecting as a child when she first bought a set of Mr Men books. In 2001 (aged 21) she visited a car boot sale and came across a small collection of Mr Men items which brought back fond memories so she purchased them and this is where it all began. Her favourite item is a plastic telephone toy/moneybox which dates from 1979 and is still in mint condition and in its original box. Her collection now consists of books, magazines, Royal Doulton/wade ceramics, cups and mugs, badges, soft toys, games and puzzles, bedding and clothes, stationary, plastic figures, videos, cd's, dvd’s, bags, wall hangings, other toys and miscellaneous items.
