New York based balloon artist, John Reid, held the official world record for “World’s Largest Balloon Sculpture by A Single Person.” “Poptimus Prime” was born in 2014 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Reid spent 42 hours over the course of five days sculpting Poptimus Prime. The 50-ft-tall and 44-ft-wide recreation of a Transformer was displayed for Salt Lake City’s Comic Con FanXperience, where attendees were able to take pictures with the jaw-dropping sculpture. Poptimus Prime was made out of 4,302 modelling balloons and needed to be arranged into a crouching position (He was too tall to stand up straight!). John Reid received no assistance when creating this this masterpiece. All the twisting and inflation of the balloons was all completed by John himself, which landed him a spot in the Block Buster’s edition of the 2016 Guinness World Records Book.
