Well nowadays I keep it a secret because my parents don't really agree w/ me collecting...I rarely buy nowadays because of the price....I've only bought like 3 Mattel figs this year

Noone says nothing. The couple friends i do have actually think its cool that i collect some of the older legends and got most the current roster. They cant believe how far Figures came and i only hang out with ppl who share the same interest as me. They dont have too be a toy collector but they do have too enjoy WWE. If ppl talk crap on pro wrestling or my collecting habbit then i dont need them around .Im not out too impress ppl or try to fit in. I learned long ago thats not the way life works. Those ppl who judge you and mock you and talk about you cause you like something or mess up in life, those are not real friends. You real friends are going too accept just about anything you do. Like i said they dont have too like it, but they also dont gotta go making fun of a friend for it. I dont judge ppl for going to the bar too much or spending there money on stuff to make there car nicer or faster so they have no reason too judge me for something that keeps me outta trouble and makes me happy

For the most part no one says anything about my collecting.I might get a few "You still collect dolls" from some members of my family but then i return the favor by saying "You still have a drinking problem don't you?" and that shuts them right up. My parents are very supportive of my hobby because they know that collecting wrestling items is the only thing that keeps me sane.

None of my friends know, My Dad likes Wrestling himself, and my mom is neutral on the subject.

My friends don't care. They never have said anything about 'em. The first time they saw the collection there reaction was like "Really!!?" "I never took you for one that collects toys" " I didn't even know you liked wrestling!". Even if someone does say something about me I just learned to not care about what they say. I used to let things like that get to me but not anymore. My parents support the collection. More my Dad than my Mom though. I got my Dad into collecting Marvel Universe figures (See the collection in the Other Figures board). They'd rather have me collect action figures than do drugs, and I do too, so whatever .

My friends know because I just told everyone about it like a week ago, no one said anything about it. We also had this thing in school were we had to bring in something that we care about, so I brought in a MOC Elite 6 CM Punk and showed everyone. Pretty much everyone doesnt really care about me buying figs, but my mom just says that I should just sell them in the future.

I get, "don't you have enough" alot, and tbh when you think about it WWE have had way too many wrestlers, I barely ever get repaints but I've still got close to 300 figs.

I get the whole "You have enough already." At about 500 figures, I guess I could see their point. Most of my figs are WCW Toybiz, and Jakks RA, CS, TTL and BCA. I only have about 30 Mattels, but I only buy the guys or figures that I like from Mattel.
I also get the 'waste of money' thing, but I just ask my family if they'd rather me be spending money on drugs, and then they promptly agree with me.

I'm 13, my Mum doesn't really care much about them, she just says "When will it stop Matthew". Where as my Dad quite likes them. He sometimes likes watchin WWE with me and he takes some interset in my figures. My Grandma just says "You should be saving your money for University, not wasting it on pieces of plastic". As for my friends, only a couple know, I'm not sure whether to tell my other friends coz they might mock me but tbh I dont care. I love collecting figures, it's my hobby and people need to accept that.

My entire family is into wrestling, My 11 year old sister is actually having a birthday party this week and on the gift list put "anything that has to do with The Miz". Although I am considered "too old" (which doesn't make sense because I'm only 15 lol) to collect by some people I know, I get very little negative comments about it. I guess it's because most of my friends are nerds that I met through wrestling/video games/comics so they think it's cool or do it themselves. The worst comment that I've gotten though is probably that I was sticking up for this 18 year old that liked wrestling and was being made fun of and I was called a f*ggot. Haters gonna hate.
