31 and I am not ashamed to say I play. Out of curiosity, how do you play with them? Like you actually have matches and make them do moves while sounding out action and commentary? I'm not trying to sound funny or tease, just having a tough time imagining a grown man playing with figures. (Not that anything is wrong with that). I just keep my figures in a box and take a look at them and pose them . When I finally settle in my next home , they'll be displayed but would love to animate them too. I'd like to play with them but don't have the interest Yeah. I pick an era and a company and try to book a card with the figs I have and play out matches, interviews and angles. I find it entertaining, fun, and often a creative challenge. I have a firm belief that toys are meant to be played with.

I only collect right now but I've given some thought to doing a pic fed. I'm just not too sure on how I want to do it.

After all these years I'm finally thinking about stopping my figure fed and just not playing with them anymore. I've noticed how quickly the figures get damaged when you play. Less than a month after I own new figures their eyebrows are usually almost gone. And many paint marks all along their bodies. Don't do it, paint marks are easily removed and eyebrows can be repainted. I've stopped my fed a few times and I always come back. it's just too much fun to stop.

When I did my fed, I would write everything down, last fued I remember the most was ultimate warrior vs legend killer randy Orton, for the intercontinental title. I miss those days and should continue with Mattel figures. And I completely agree, toys/figs are meant to be played with.

i only display my Mattel Legends... i loved playing with HASBRO, then Jakks BCA which was the ABSOLUTE BEST FIGURE EVER to Play with... too bad most looked terrible!! anyway, right around mid 16 yrs old it just stopped feeling normal... but i do miss the creativity like naparo mentioned...i spent every class freshman and sophmore year writing exact scripts to tv tapings and ppvs and house shows... i loved it... i remember back before our "family computer " had a cd burner i used to bully a kid ( sorry) to make me a cd with WWF theme songs ..i forgot how i gave him the files.. maybe floppy discs!!! this was 95-96!! CLASSIC..
i have 3 nieces but they are not into wwe, if i ever have a son or daughter it will be forced upon them and maybe i'll help them BOOK CREATIVE!!!
not hating on anyone who plays at my age (30), if you enjoy it, do it...
but seriously those BCA were made for play .. i gently messed around once with a bret dm and EG Hbk and knee pads were sliding, joints were messing up "spots"... and believe me i was gentle cause i only display my Legends and i dust them often and love them!

Mainly display them in glass cases, but I do have BOPPV John Cena that's all kinds of jacked up from trying to crack its torso at work I play with. Anytime I'm feeling overwhelmed at work I put him through a mattel break a way table that's displayed on my desk.

No. But I want to. I have a three year old son who doesn't know how to play with wrestling figures... he just bashes them into eachother violently. I don't want him to f*ck em up, they're too damn expensive. That and I'd feel weird being a 31 year old man play with toys by himself lol.
So when my boy gets a little older I'll teach him the right way then we'll start up a fed.

yeah? I'd like to see that some time. I just display. Well, I will occasionally do fixups and I like to pose them and have them sit on an end table next to me for a time until they go on the shelf. Sometimes I tell myself, maybe some day I will try for an honest play, but it never feels right. Maybe if I did animation or a pic fed it would be different.....
