Can I just say how cool this thread is. People may think this is silly of me, but I go through doubts about collecting because of what the 'reactions' might be but to see they are mostly positive is really settling. Plus I am at the stage now where I've gotten out of it and gotten back into it so many times I'm gonna stick with it no matter what, lol. It's been cool to read some of these, not having any actual reactions to offer myself. Haha! That clip was great.

I want to play Hold'em with you! HAHA!! I was kind of going for a theme that resembled the WSOP background with all the gold bracelets in the display cases, but my own version using WWE Championship Title Belts. I wanted it to look intimidating as well as distracting to other players. Two things: 1)Sweet holy hell that IWGP championship is glorious! 2)This whole thread is awesome. Thank you!! The IWGP Championship Title Belt is glorious…for a Jakks / Mattel type kids sized toy Championship Title Belt. This thread is awesome and I hope others who are hiding their collection read this thread and open up and be proud of their own $#!+. “What good is a diamond nobody can see??” – Joe.

I'm 15 and most of my family say I shouldn't have them at my age and some say it about my lego but not all. My twin brother is a collector too of wwe figures and therefore says nice collection. He mostly has basics as her prefers quantity over quality where as I have mostly elites but I have a lot of basics too. If we argue he says your collection is rubbish. My nephew has about 7 figures and thinks it's the coolest, so does my younger niece. My other niece also likes it but isn't as amazed as others. My mum doesn't mind too much but she thinks it's a waste the same as my dad really. My next door neighbours grandson loves my collection as he recently started collecting same with an 9 year old my mum babysits every now and then. Some other family members think I should spend my money more wisely.

Not a lot of people see my collection other than family or friends that already know I collect. I will shut the door to the room that my collection is in sometimes when people are over, but thats not because I'm embarrassed by my collection, it's because the room stays a little messy. Its also where I work on my custom projects, so I'll have them spread out, plus any new figure pick ups are laying about.
The way I see it is, I have a job and make my own money. As others have stated, there are a lot worse things I could be into and spending my money on. Also, I've already met and married the woman of my dreams, (and she's fine with my collection as long as I don't over spend) so I'm not trying to impress anybody. Also if people can't accept my love of wrestling and collecting, I don't need them.
So I say, pay no mind to what others think. Display those collections proudly, because they are each awesome and I love seeing them. If you enjoy collecting, then do it and be proud.....life is too short not to do what you love.

My mom never liked the whole idea of me watching wrestling since she didn't like my dad watching it either , and when she comes over to my apartment she always "what are doing with your life" when she see my all my different figure hobbies , I told her at least I'm not living at home , she always had a better liking toward my sister and she's 28 and lives with her

I have a massive wrestling and memorabilia collection. To be honest I don't really show the collection to anyone other than close friends or family. No specific reason just a personal choice. The family is cool with it. They know it's something I'm passionate about.

It's a shame that people can't show there collections these days without being judged and insulted for it. It's so weird and very sad. Like others have said, it's not hurting anyone! People do it with pretty much any hobby though...besides maybe like book collecting or something milktoast and safe like that. Most of my friends and family collect something, and a lot of us collect action figures, so there's not a lot of judgement from any of them

Better then being an alcoholic or addicted to hard drugs isn't it really lol ?. Sadly it isn't to a lot of people, because a lot of people are idiots.
