I am 21 and i still collect wrestling figures my parents never really said anything to be about collecting because there are worst things i could be doing like drinking or smoking. They would rather be mad at me for buying alot of figures then drinking or smoking.

I'm 14 but I try not to let it get out cause Id be picked on till i graduate. But my mom loves my wrestling figures as she was a fan when she was younger. My dad hates them he says I should be saving my money and they're a waste of time. But hes a dick and we dont get along ever so meh.

"I'm 31 and I play with them. Its not like you are still sucking your thumb. "
I will second that, pretty much sums up the question,
p.s asks your dad what he collected, i bet he collected at some point!

yeah, i don't think you're ever too old. i mean it's what many of us grew up doing. just like you see old timers that have train sets or collect baseball cards.

Eh, my stepdad has like 200 or 300+ star wars figures all on display. Yet If I get a wrestling figure hes like "Your wasting your money...etc" And sometimes hes really approving of me getting a figure then suddenly he dissaproves. Yet he gets me a figure sometimes if he sees one. I get really confused.

Sit him down, tell him that you need to sell your figures because you've gotten your girlfriend pregnant, and you need the money for the baby who's going to be born in the next 2 months.
after a few days of worry, tell him you were kidding him, and he'll be much happier with the figure situation.

This. He'll never say another word about the figures again. On topic, I'm 14 too and I still collect, and play with my figures. It's really cool for me because I have younger cousins and I've gotten them into collecting too. And I go all out, weekly shows, interviews, monthly pay-per-views, it's just what I love to do. If you enjoy, continue to do it, don't let anybody else tell you what to do.

I'm 28 and I play with them all the damn time. Tell him that you strive to retain your youthful exuberance and your imagination. They keep you interesting. Besides, I honestly can't think of a person who will actually judge you for liking figs that doesn't have some cheesy interest of their own. If they don't they probably aren't very interesting people.

I am 25 and still get my hands dirty with my figures sometimes!
Use the old "better this than drugs" excuse. Even though you dont need one!
