Yeah, the worse thing is when it gets close to Christmas or my birthday she tells me to stop buying anything cause she likes to get me them for occasions... We don't have kids and says we don't need any because of my "hobbies" lol

She is fine with it, because she knows it makes me happy, and gives me that childlike feeling, that you need sometimes. When we first started dating I wasn't collecting anything, and didn't want to start for the fear of scaring her off. Then a year later the 30th Anniversary line came out for G.I. Joe and I couldn't help it, she told me it was silly to think that way and she has supported me in collecting since; Star Wars: Vintage Collection, to Walking Dead, to WWE. In return I gave her the same support when she decided to collect Monster High dolls. It's things like this that help sustain a healthy relationship. I mean, we have been together for 10 years. That's gotta be love.

Pretty sure my wife hates it, not so much for the collecting but the cost of getting some. I went a little overboard lately, but now that my collection is almost where I want it I'll be chilling for awhile. I only collect Hall of Famers and guys I like.

My wife doesn't care I don't buy a lot for myself MOC and all the loose figures in my house are toys for my son. Once in a while I sell figures for good money so she knows there is some "value" in what I buy (I know you guys hate that word lol). I'm sure she thinks it's a bit weird that I like wrestling. I watch the wwe network sometimes to help me sleep haha. She knows nothing about wwe What does she think when you buy brand new figures and throw them in the trash?

She complains here and there but I just tend to not pick them up when shes with me. Sometimes I do but only if its one I really want. last one I bought when she was with me was the Hall of Fame Warrior.

My girl overall doesn't mind it, but she won't spend her money on buying me figures and has requested that my collection stays off the living room shelves. She doesn't have an issue with some of my Ghostbusters or Batman figures, but has drawn the line when it comes to little men in their underwear.

No problems on my end. I found someone who shares collecting with me.

She doesn't understand it, but she also doesn't mind it as long as I'm not spending too much on it, which I don't. I've always had hobbies in the over 20 years we've been together, so she is used to it by now.

I watch the wwe network sometimes to help me sleep haha. She knows nothing about wwe What does she think when you buy brand new figures and throw them in the trash? My son already has too many toys and he doesn't even play with them anymore. I justify buying these figures by saying it's to complete the collection/roster that we have. Sometimes there will be multi-packs that I need to buy just to get one or two of them but I won't need the other (example: TNF 3-pk and nod 2-pk). I should never have bought apa faarooq I'll admit that was a mistake. But the TNF Bash at the beach macho man is just a figure I do not want at all with that face paint. And Luger with face paint is gag worthy too but conveniently I swapped heads with my e30 Luger and made an excellent wcw Luger and got rid of that eyesore USA attire. I NEEDED that sting though. I have 7 nephews that have made it clear they have no interest in wrestling figures and I don't have any extra storage at my 190 year old tiny antique house. So you won't make me feel bad about the three figures I've thrown in the trash in my 4 years of collecting. I'll let you know about the next one that goes in the bin. Ps. I don't think I ever told my wife I threw those away. She wouldn't care though if I threw them all away. We don't talk about my wresting figs hobby

My fiancée doesn't care at all and actually encourages it. In fact, she is just as if not more excited than I am to build my man cave when we get our own place. She also enjoys hunting and two weeks ago had no problem going with me to hunt for the new HOF figures. We were sucesssful in our hunt and in the span of a few days found the whole set along with Network Spotlight Finn Balor. Last year she surprised me with two Network Spotlight Shawn Michaels figures as she knew how bad I wanted it. She also picked me up TNF Natural Diasters earlier this year. If she's in Target which she goes to often, she takes a pic of the figure aisle for me and looks for the figures she knows I'm interested in. She'll also check TRU if she knows I'm looking for a Network Spotlight Exclusive. She loves the hunt. We both hate going into Walmart though, but will if they have something I'm looking for.
She collects designer bags, shoes, pop vinyls, and PS4 games. I collect figures, Jordans, and PS4 games. No complaints from either side.

My girlfriend (eventual wife) is fairly cool with it. Also out of the other stuff I do collect, figures are the cheapest. So she actually encourages it. Plus she digs the customizing and figure photography I do, which is really cool.
