A wrestling super fan has revealed that his action figure collection costs as much as his house.

Kyle Peterson has been collecting the memorabilia for 40 years, ever since he was a little kid.

The 43-year-old has accumulated over 13,000 different characters over the years, many rooted in the 1980s.

This includes G.I. Joe, He-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as well as Marvel and DC figures.

In fact, he built his house 2,000 sq ft around his passion.

“I imagine the cost of my collection is on par with the worth of the house,” Kyle, a senior executive from Iowa, US, told What’s The Jam.

“I’ve always been a collector, my whole life, but people are always in total shock when they see it in person.”

Altogether, he believes the collection could be worth anywhere between £500,000- £1m.

He said: “Growing up, my dad was also a collector of action figures and helped me grow mine.

“My family and friends have always been supportive.

“And I am still working on my collection every single day.

“It is always growing and expanding.”

Luckily his love of action figures has never gotten in the way of his love life.

Kyle, now happily married, said: “I have always worn my passions and loves on my sleeve since I was a small child.

“I have never had an issue like others have where I had a relationship end because of my collecting or hobbies.

“I’m not sure my wife thinks it’s the coolest thing in the world.

“She is not into it like I am, but she is very supportive.”

As for his most expensive figure, he says it’s like the 1 of 31 Masters of the Universe classics, Spirit of King Grayskull.

Or the 1 of 15 Ultimate Warrior Jakks classic Superstars.

As for his favourite figure of all time, it’s the LJN Grand Toys Ultimate Warrior.

He said: “It always holds a special place for me as it was such a huge deal for me to get as a child.”

Kyle also regularly shares details about his impressive set with his 40,100 subscribers on YouTube (@kylepeterson1980).

In his most popular video, which has over 187,000 views, he shows the figures in boxes or glass cases, and talks through each one thoroughly.

Someone else wrote: “What a ride! These room tours make my collection way less overwhelming for my wife.”

Rez commented: “Amazing collection! I can’t imagine the amount of work you put into this.”
