im twice your age so i dont think it matters how old you are. I dont play with them like i used to when i was younger but i collect them just for the fact im a wrestling fan and love collecting them it is my hobby. Some people just don't see why people collect action figures and it usually is pretty tough to get them to understand why.

Agreed , alot of people just don't get the appeal in plastic or in toys , stick to your guns and do what you love , you will regret it if you aren't true to yourself ... im 25 and im still into it .. granted i was out of it for a number of years but still

i think i was your age when my parents last said anything about be collecting toys..im going on 28 and have a room in my house dedicated to all things i collect. everyone has a vice or hobby.. so what if yours is toys. with my parents i was able to pull the " look at all the $$$ you spend on alcohol and cigarettes, whats sooo different between those and my toys.. wait my toys arent killing me"
so as long as it doesnt interfere with your life. do it.

Im 21 and I still collect, I just dont play with them anymore. Best thing to do is find a part time job and buy them yourself. Then your parents shouldnt care if it is your money.

This topic comes up a lot on here. Its sad that people get judged for such things. I am 31 ,have 2 kids of my own, and still collect,display and even play with the damn things. It does not matter what others think. Just you. Collect until you no longer want to...if that day even comes. Enjoy life ,it dosent last forever.

Im 13 as well and still play and do stop motion with them, but my parents don't have a problem with it. But just do what you want and don't let it bother you if someone says you are too old for it.

I'm 25 and I love them.
What's the difference between playing with WWE figs and playing SD vs. RAW on PS3? WWE figs is basically just a hand held video game to me....I control the story and the match just like I control what moves the guys do in the video game.

Thanks guys and i am trying to tell them but they just don't listen but i am a very big fan of wwe figures. They find it ok that i watch it and sometimes go to the events but other than that wrestling figures is a no no. I have a massive box of jakks figures and i loved the look of mattels so when i saw them i had my money so i went and bought them. But then suddenly he was ok with it then he didn't approve of it. That's parents for ya !

It dnt matter how old you are. I just turned 20 today & I still collect/play with my figs. Just bought elite r-truth last week to complete elite 2 and about have elite 3 on pre order. It dnt matter how old you are. We all have are hobbies. No matter what they are we do it cuz it's a way to detatch from reality once in a while & it makes us happy. I've been collecting wrestling figs for 10 years today and it still keeps me happy. So dnt let any one discourage you from collecting or any other of your hobbies. You dnt have hobbies to please them you have hobbies to please yourself.

As my Mom once told me, "Everyone has something that they like/collect/enjoy." Not everyone will understand why that person likes/collects/enjoys it, but that is who they are and what they do.
I went to a school with a girl that was obsessed with horses and everyone made fun of her behind her back...even I did...and when my Mom found out she told me that statement above...which relates to anyone, especially me. I'm obsessed with Wrestling so how am I any different from the girl I went to school with that was Obsessed with Horses?
I live by the quote, "You're never too Old for Something."

No way! You can never be too old for loving and collecting something you admire. It's all about the passion and being a fan!!!
