Thank you for all these responses so far, they are all very insightful. 1. I love wrestling and WWE. 2. I love action figures. Therefore, we have a connection. ;o Also... Did you say for animation? As in THE RETURN OF EWA? Yes, as in the return of EWA!! But right now it's more likely Brodus Clay will debut on Raw before I make my return, haha.

It's really pretty simple for me, I love wrestling and the guys I enjoy or enjoyed watching I want immortalized in figure form. Having guys like Flair, Macho Man and Piper definitely remind me of when I was a kid. It's getting to feel nostalgic every day when I look at my collection.
Other than that, I think it's just a really fun hobby.

1) I love wrestling, and since WWE is a main place I get my wrestling dose that's the main place I get various stuff from. 2) I collect only figures of guys I mark for. 3) I like the way my collection gradually grows and it makes me happy, so yeah it's a hobby too.

love wrestling, some characters & gimmicks were my heroes growing up - can't begin to tell you how on the edge of my seat I was when Sting was wrestling the Four Horsemen.
I firmly believe wrestling action figures should be able to be posed in the most basic of wrestling holds like the Boston Crab - something that looks stupid with Jakks thunder thigh RAs - so that's why I love Mattel's attempt, very accurate, scale, details, the works.
It's awesome to immortalize and own mini replicas of these larger than life characters I grew up with.

Just because, I collect just the Divas (and Cougar), although I did buy The Rockers aswell.
I used to spend loads of money on vinyl records, not anymore since it's all downloads now (and cheaper), so spending money on collecting something else.

I collect Legends because it's fun to be on the hunt again for figures of wrestlers I was trying to track down in toy stores as a kid 20 years ago. Although nothing will ever replace my LJNs and Hasbros, it's great to have these incredibly detailed and articulated figures of the wrestlers I grew up with. I thought Jakks' CS line was good, but Mattel blows them away. I only wish the selection was as good as what Jakks had, but the quality makes up for it.

My main hobby, been a WWE fan since 7 years old, when I first had LJNs, die hard since 18ish when I started collecting figures as an adult. I continue the hobby today because Mattel produces simply the best figures ever made. I get super amped when a new pre order comes up or I get a shipment at my doorstep. It picks me up when I'm down, and gives me something to keep up with when other things let me down. I love it!

When EWA returns, I will run around the streets of Toronto naked. You can quote me on that.

I tell my wife that I'm addicted to wrestling and wrestling figures. And that there's a lot worse addiction I could have, and those cost more lol.
