Well, most people I know don't know. But it's not because I keep it a secret. I just don't go "Hey, I collect figures." If they asked, I'd tell them I do, but I'm not just going to randomly tell everyone.

Hell NO. And I work with a bunch of hot chicks at a doctor's office. They joke about it, but I really dont care what anybody thinks. Hell, one year one of those hot chicks got me a gift for my birthday..... E9 Zack Ryder. And she says she just picked up the first one she saw on the shelf smh

Anybody who is embarrassed shouldn't be collecting. This is supposed to be something you do because you enjoy it. If you feel you have to hide it like a drug habit or affair, then clearly you aren't getting any enjoyment out of it and should just stop and move on to something else.

i kinda keep it a secret.
i just started back collecting again in January with the Mattel line. i dont watch any current wrestling products, but the figures were just so damn cool-mattel was making the figures i dreamed about as a kid, so i splurged on the SDCC undertaker, L3 Rock, and L1 SCSA. After those 3, i couldnt help myself and just kept buying the ones i wanted.
im sorta like the brock lesnar of figure collecting lol. I started watching wwf/wcw when i was 6, so i grew up with it, but when i got into highschool, i started shunning wrestling and i sold all my figs and *thought* i would never ever again get back into wrestling. i even remember calling out the kids in our school who who come in with HBK or old DX shirts.
i have good friends, im not afraid of getting bashed for it, but i just dont want to hear everyone give me crap for it. "oh wasting money on toys again?" "what does your girlfriend think of your figures? oh, wait-you dont have one"
i love busting them out every now and again and playing out a few matches. feels good to just let the imagination run WILD again.
its kinda ironic that last weekend i was gonna show a close friend of mine my collection, but after he arrived and during conversation, he told me that had a friend back in his hometown that collected action figures and how wasteful of a hobby he thought it was......i decided to just not bring it up.

I dont do it secretly but I try to stick to a tight budget and not spend buttloads on figures and overpay and I dont collect any other lines other than Mattel WWE.

Well i'm proud of being a toy collector but I definitely do have to sneak my stuff in!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The reason is cos my mum hates me collecting toys so I usually sneak them in during the night or say that i'm heading to the gym but smuggle the figures in my gym bag :-) oh wells........

I've always been open about my toy collecting with my friends, family, co workers, former classmates. I never had a reason to hide it. I don't go flaunting it as though it takes over my whole entire life though.

No. I dont secretly. Do I go and say "YO MAH FIGYA LOOK SWEET DAWG U GOTTA LUB IT!" But I do bring it out while talking to my friends. They say dolls sometimes (which annoys me more then anything) to joke around, and some are very supportive with it. Sometimes they call me and ask what I want, look for it, and tell me if its there. So, no. I dont secretly collect.

When my friends visit and I leave and come back to my room, most of them are usually in a gigantic orgy, complete with Transformers, GI Joes, and Lego Super Heroes.

Uhhh I feel kind of wierd being 29 years old going to the checkout line with nothing but toys in my hands. I started doing this for my little boy who is still an infant, but Im having so much fun doing it that Im starting to second guess who its really for lol.

I do. I mean, kids in high school are so damn judgemental. A couple of my best friends know, and they seem cool, but they're my friends.
