Well, alot of people say,"too old" or "for kids", and the whole "doll" thing. But my friends actually like my collection and like to play with the figures lol. My dad doesnt really like my collecting, BUT my mom does, the other day she made Big Show chokeslam Hornswoggle lol. So, what are some bad things your friends or family say about your collecting?

closest i've received to a negative comment was more of a snarky question. today, after recieving a box from mattel, my father-in-law asked me if i thought the figs were "a sound investment". then i said that i could be into a much more expensive hobby like restoring muscle cars, hunting or golf. he then agreed those hobbies took much more time and money. my whole family is pretty cool with it. i'm lucky i guess.

None of my friends mind my collecting, neither do my family.

My family doesn't really mind. I've never shown my friends my collection or room ever. Except one. He was a collector, too. If one of my friends stops by out of nowhere, I just say my rooms messy or my dad is fixing something there or painting. If there's no way of them stopping them into my room, I tell them to wait downstairs so I can "clean" my room but really, I just hide everything wrestling related. It's quite tragic, now that I think about it.

My Friends Have Never Seen My Collection, My Parents Don't Mind Either. My Brothers Always Ask Me Why I Always Spend Money On Figures, I Ask Them Why They Spend Money On Video Games!

My Mom and Grandma is cool with it. My dad knows but never told me how he felt about it. And i pretty much just dont talk about it with my friends or other family except my 9 yr old cousin who collects also.

My parents don't really mind anymore but i get why do you waste your money on them. I don't consider it wasting b/c i actually get something out of spending the money and have something unlike when you go drinking.

my dad never liked it even when i was a kid. my mom has always been more receptive to it and understood my appreciation of figures and comic books etc. only a few people really know. the ones that do know seem more surprised by the amount of figures than the collecting

Nobody says anything but not a lot of people know about it. I think most everybody collects SOMETHING whether it's stamps, coins, Precious Moments statues, postcards, etc. However, this collection is much more expensive in 2011 then it was when I started in 1996. $15 plus per figure is a little rough on the bank account these days.

Some of my family thinks it's cool, but others think it's a complete waste of time and money. I usually reply back with "at least i'm not spending money on drugs or alcohol", it gets them all the time. ;D
