Have you posted any pics of your taker collection? I need inspiration for small taker display 😅 I have a YouTube video of my entire collection but I have added some more figures since I recorded that video. Thanks for sharing, it looks amazing. I want the SS Taker with the mask. Gutted I missed out on that, I plan to get it on eBay this summer though. I need an American Bad Ass taker as well, and maybe his most recent ultimate to round off my collection. I don't even have half the takers you do though lol Those CS boxed figures are displayed so clean on the walls, its very impressive. I can't imagine how you find space for more! |

Thanks for the kind words and yes my wall is nearly at the end of being full. I've had so many other lines throughout the years but due to space I've sold plenty of them. Mattel will re-release some of these Takers overtime so I would wait instead of paying overs on eBay. |

Old timer here (40) (can still hit a moonsault tho) I’m going strong because of Action Figure Attack, without him pushing for all the legends, awesome multipacks, & subsets, I’d probably be done. |

51. Just collecting what I really like. I’ve never been a completist. I always feel like I’m close to being done then Mattel makes something I want like that latest Billy Graham figure. I’ll try and grab the Steamboat from the Coliseum Collection when that comes out. I want the Piper was well. Just waiting to find him by himself.

The love is stronger than my wallet, so I’m careful with picks now. As this point I had to turn in my horse for a drum, cause I can’t stop beating lol
It’s obvi a lot of my deepest favorite stuff doesn’t get made, but I’m grateful to still like a ton of wrestlers both as people or think they’d work great in my fantasy territory system, so that’s the main way I collect; and of course custom fodder lol
My other favorite stuff to collect are random figures from small companies that just make me really happy
Along with the Super7 Reaction/Retro style 5POA/3.74 scale figures like the Star Wars retro, princess bride, Hendrix, and all the weird and random characters we get from lines like that.
I hope I never truly peak, but I know I’ll have to let go of different figures I’ve gotten over the years who didn’t matter as much.
My biggest problem is how many “stand-ins” I’ve made that nobody would want but me cause they’re only scarce resemblances to the intended wrestler cause sometimes I’m not a great customizers or I have no energy from being disabled 😅

I’m 35 and essentially am just collecting CM Punk figures now. I get really into new reveals and seeing all the upcoming stuff, but I don’t end up really buying any of it. I’ve gotten more into collecting horror masks and such in the last year, so wrestling figures kind of lost my interest. LMAO TUSK IS AN OLD MAN CONFIRMED |

Old timer here (40) (can still hit a moonsault tho) I’m going stong because of Steve, without him pushing for all the legends, awesome multipacks, & subsets, I’d probably be done. 100% Agree. If Legends weren't heavily featured, there's no way I'd still be going. |

41 very soon and I'm going strong. Actually getting MORE into it recently. Up until recently, I only collected.
Wrestling, specifically Sami, Kevin, and Shane, women's figures, favorites and stables.
Marvel Legends: MCU-multiverse.
Star Trek Playmates
Doctor Who 5.5"
TMNT Playmates April O'Neils
But I'm finding it more and more difficult to say no to the ML Comics figures, and I'm starting to go into legends figures and random guys from both WWE and AEW. Also, I'm staring down the entire AEW Blood and Guts line trying to decide if I want to go in on it. I have the Britt and Rosa, plus the CM Punk/MJF pack, but I'm really thinking I want to try and get some of the others. Also, now that the Doctor Who figurines are coming back, hopefully for good, it's getting really hard to continue saying no to them as well.
Also, those TMNT ultimates have been calling to me for awhile now and I at least want the April one, if I can. But I know full well if I get the April ultimate, I'm gonna want more. Also, I get the April ultimate, then what's stopping me from digging into the NECA TMNT Aprils.
I dunno. I'm far too poor for this hobby and I need to build more shelves. Not enough money for too many figures.

I am 42 and way more selective about the figures I buy.
I have been thinning out my various collections. My new rule is if I cannot display it, it does not get bought or it gets sold. For example, my Star Wars Vintage Collection is maxed out as far as room in my game room goes. I picked up the Ewoks two pack, but that meant I had to sell two so that they could take their place. I am also doing this with my WWE, TMNT, and Masters of the Universe stuff as well. The Mattel WWE Retro Collection is next for a thinning out I think!
It is forcing me to really think before I buy something and also think about the stuff I have on display if I have any real attachment to it.
Also, my wife and I are not rich, but we are lucky in that we are at least comfortable, but the fact that things cost so much now also comes into play. Hasbro figures such as Star Wars and Marvel in particular have seen a really high increase. When I got my first Retro Collection figures they were £8 now they are usually £11 or £12. The Vintage Collection can sometimes be as much as £16 for a new figure and when you think that these are just 3 3/4 inch figures that is kind of crazy. It may not sound like much, but that is a pretty big markup in just a couple of years. When your weekly groceries are through the roof, you do have to be smarter about the fun stuff you buy.

At almost 41 I'm grabbing just what I need/want whenever I get around to it. I've learned that outside of Strongbow, nothing is gonna be hard to find and financially I'm stable enough to pay a little more to get it elsewhere if need be then having to waste my time driving all over three counties to find a little plastic man.
I also get the help and help others find stuff when there's a chance. I think I have a running list of figures I'm looking for for PJ & Joker.

40,ive slowed down a lot lately but doesn't really have anything to do with lack of interest. Its more to do with running out of space,Ive been a huge Funko,WWE,AEW,Neca TMNT & horror,Sports figs,ML and Lego collector for around 10 years and just dont have the room to display everything and that has made me think really hard on what I'm buying within the last year now

I’m 38, and at the cherry picking stage. Mainly buying Legends and the occasional current talent. Really liking the Greatest Hits and From the Vault lines to fill in pre-2017 purchases.
