Hey im just wondering do any of you collectors play with your figures?
I buy 2 of most figs: One to keep MOC or display loose, and one to play with...
Just wondering if any of you do that as well. can you tell me your age as well.
THANX

I'm 27, and I buy them to mostly display but I play with them occasionally. But I always stop myself from playing with them because I don't want to mess up the poses I have them in, or fiddle with the accessories.

What do you mean by play?
I dont play but I take the extras off/on see which looks better and pose them on there stands. When I first get them I look at them quite a bit and move them about.
I let my little foster bother have a little play around as long as im there and ive been known to mess about with them with him.
I only collect Legends he collects the modern basic/elite.
Nothing wrong with it though.
Im 25

I used to, but now I have them all on display.
Sometimes I have a quick mess around with them, they are fun for that, the moves feel much better than the jakks figures did, batistas spear just seems great to do, even a rko.

Yo I'm 24, and I'll have matches here and there. Sometimes, while watching a DVD/Blu-ray of a wrestling event, I'll have a full blown PPV. No shame in it either. I'd rather be in my room playing with action figures than I would be out drinking and/or doing drugs.

Absolutely not, MOC only. I think anyone old enough to register for this board that still plays with their action figures (not counting those that do so with their children or siblings) needs to see a therapist.

I'm 19. I don't play with them, when I was younger I did. Now I buy them to bring them to life in my animated videos. You can see them at www.youtube.com/mbg1211 and links to my specific shows are in my signature. I do videos for Jakks and stuff sometimes, but I enjoy collecting Mattel as well. You'll see videos with Jakks and Mattel figures on my show Crash Collision Wrestling®. I currently have over 7,900 subscribers worldwide so I hope you enjoy the show and become one of them!  Thanks! Enjoy! |

I play with them occasionally, usually hardcore matches or TLCs.
But I usually just display them.

Yes. I enjoy doing it too much to stop......and I would hate to sell them for a fraction of their sentimental value on the card as opposed to loose. The collecting process is fluid.

I think anyone old enough to register for this board that still plays with their action figures (not counting those that do so with their children or siblings) needs to see a therapist. I think thats a bad attitude. I used to be like that but as I grew older I realized that if people like doing or have a hobby that they enjoy and it doesn't hurt anyone then go ahead. You arnt going to lose my respect/feelings for something you enjoy (again not hurting anyone/common sense). Like I said above I don't unless with little foster bro but I should not be made to fell like a loser if I did. Oh and that attitude supprises me to say you collect them anyway. It's not considered the coolest of hobbies with the average person....  Carry on doing what you love! ;D |

Not really...I like posing them in random places around my home (like Hornswoggle hanging off the clock) and stuff, just to see if anyone notices. I never do matches or anything with them though, because I'd probably get pretty sad if I broke them.
I don't keep them MOC though...they're all free from their plastic prisons, on a shelf in my room.
Anyway...when I'm not home, I know they make their own matches and beat hell out of each other. I saw a movie like that once... >_>
I'm 24 by the way.

I'm 12 and I do play with them and I don't care what any other people think I have a weekly non telivised show which I might make stopmotion or figure fed Goodbye. The only reason I really buy figures is to play with them. I like to create my own stories and just have fun with them. AS said, I'd much rather be in my room with my figures and ring playing with them than being out drinking and doing drugs. |

I'm 23. I don't play with my figures the same way I used to when I was younger as my mind set isn't there anymore. However, I still plan to do some fun things with them very soon.  |
