Just a good discussion topic I thought of. I'm not because I really don't play I just kind of collect, (Although I do a couple matches in my RSR every so often) but I used to be when I was 13 or so. Is anyone else?

I don't care. But sometimes I just say they are for my nephew when they ask me more than one question about it.

Never. Not. Once.
It's a hobby and if someone wants to sneer or scoff at my hobby I'd tell them to sit and rotate.
Never hear of anyone picking on people for collecting micro versions of cars, i.e Matchbox or Hotwheels, or having pictures of men on their walls in their man caves, i.e Football players, Race Car Drivers etc etc

More when I ask if they have a certain figure than buying it This, but as I've posted in other threads, I've stopped asking workers because they're never any help. Aside from that, I suppose that I want to give the impression that I'm buying them for my "son," but I get a little embarrassed when cashiers ask me about them. One asked me if I collected them. I said, "Yes," & she followed up with, "Do you collect them or play with them?" |

Eh, not really. I don't care what the cashier thinks of me. So I have a collection of plastic people, everyone likes at least one weird thing.
In fact my grandmother is kind of proud of it, and brags about my collection (because she knows some of them are worth quite a bit, and she used to collect those TY stuffed animals because some of them were worth a pretty penny)

No shame here! Usually just grab a figure go to the register and be on my way. Though it is cool when a cashier's also into wrestling figures too.

I once went to Target before Wrestlemania, and got an Elite Undertaker, the cashier said something to the extent of, "Oh no! It's all about Shawn Michaels!, You better go back and get him instead. He's going to end that streak!" I thought it was pretty funny of him. |

No. We seriously need an emo section for all of these topics relating to this kind of thing though. It's ridiculous how much nonsense one has to filter through in the Mattel section of a wrestling figure website.

But if I was a teenager, I probably would be. Everybody is insecure at that age. |

Nope. I can't say I have ever been embarrassed or had anyone make a smart remark. In fact about two months back when I was still on the search for Elite 11 CM Punk I went to Sears and this attractive hispanic girl working the toy section asked if I needed help. I was hesitant at first and then I said I'm just looking for the CM Punk figure in the set. She looked it up in the computer and everything, asked if I open them, I said yeah and for 20 minutes straight she went through the computer seeing if she could find if they had anymore on the floor, when their next shipment was etc. It ended with her saying let me take down your number in case we get anymore in and that was that. She even remembered me the next time I went to Sears a few weeks later.
If you are confident and don't care then why should anyone else?

Nope! Not at all. There are worse things I could do with my time and money.

Im 13, turning 14 in January and in 5th grade my friend and I were trading (lol) and I guess some people still remember so once in awhile people talk about it and confront me saying, "you play with dolls?" so I say, "no...I used to." cuz it is embarrasing. but when im 18, 19, 20, etc. Im gonna be proud to be a figure collector.

The way I look at it, if you're embarrassed of your hobby then you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.
