Hey guys! I'm 22 and where I come from collecting action figures isn't a very accepted hobby. Watching wrestling is kept on the down low. Is this a problem where you are from? I'm from a small town in Kansas called Iola. I collect WWE figures and watch it every week. I attend shows when I can and I'm starting my own podcast as well. I see a few figures are being bought and I'm hoping it's not just from the casual little Cena fan kid. Lol I know they say it's a small world, so tell us, where are you from?

I haven't seen an Elite figure here in New Zealand since series seven. We still get the occasional Basic series and those 12 inch (I think) figures. That's it. I've done all of my figure shopping on Ringside until I stopped collecting a year or so ago.

I'm from boston mass, probably the worst state in the continental U.S. for finding new figures at retail.
I don't know anyone who is into wwe. I myself am not into it either I just like everything from pre-2000 so I watch the network and I buy elite flashbacks for my 6 year old son. He loves the figures but he doesn't mention wrestling around his friends because none of them watch.

I'm 17 from Ireland, when I did like to collect figures as a smaller kid it was nice living in a small Country because you're able to travel to another toy shop in another County to try and find a figure, I never did that too often though.

I'm 22 and stopped collecting when I was 12 out of embarrassment in myself and feeling too old for it. Looking back at it, that was a dumb reason. I tried again when I was 14 and couldn't get into it. I think playing with wrestling figures was easily one of the most fun things I used to do as a kid. I had a journal where I kept track of rosters and champions and cards for each show. I would also hang belts from the ceiling fan in my living room and have ladder matches. Good times. I would of killed to have mattel level figures when I collected though I probably would of only had a fraction of them because they are more expensive than the ones I used to buy I think.

Im 18 and from Newcastle in England, I collect incredibly rarely nowadays though. I mainly collect UFC figures and a few WWE Jakks figures that hold nostlagia.

Born in Sunderland, England and live about 15 mins away in a little village called Easington. I don't collect figures, but me and a lot of my friends like wrestling, I think its a generally accepted pass time in these parts.

I legit did the same thing! Kept track of EVERYTHING!

Central Texas...born here and love it. We even have local wrestling shows. I don't collect anymore, but still look at figs around town. Series are backed up a bit, but you can still find some rarities that others in busy markets have a hard time finding enough of.
I believe Wrestling is something that most people have a passing knowledge of, and some version of likability towards, if only a single wrestler for nostlagic reasons. Now for actual current fans, it seems there are a ton, but less concentrated and more widespread. Could be more than we think, but that perceived stigma makes some people not talk about it.
