Just curious.....My wife hates it. However, she does like it better than my other hobby, which is collecting sports cards. Wrestling figure collecting is much cheaper.

i buy them for my son  he's about to be 6 and already has a pretty big collection, his mom just put them in their own shelves, she's cool with it too. I think i do it cause when i was little i wanted all the cool toys in the stores but my moms couldn't afford it( so i stole them :shrugs: messed up but o well), single mother of 2(father passed when i was 6). i know she would've if she could've and now that i'm blessed to get him what he wants i go for it. i love the feeling of when we go see what they have new and the pegs r full, he flips out and i go broke (not really broke but u get the point lol) |

My wife doesn't like it and calls them dolls to anger me.  My mom collected toys from when she was a kid so she gets it and I don't really tell the rest of my family. |

My dad does. Since we dont live in a place who wave TRU's, WalMart's and all the other stores who sells figures, he kinda encourages me to buy on the internet and save money for more. He have some friends who live on US and he asks them to buy figures for me and stuff, which is pretty cool (:

My mom thinks its cool, as they are all the characters she knows from back in the day (i'm a legends collector). When i brought home L6 Warrior/Tornado she freaked cuz those were here 2 favorites. My gf is whatever about it, i also collect sports cards, so the figures are def the cheaper hobby =P

My Mom is happy when I'm happy with my figures/collection. Yes she supports me. She buys me figures for my birthday and christmas. The rest of my family has to accept it. And hey, I'm 26 years old. |

My Dad doesn't hate it but thinks I should stop.  I don't think my Mum cares all that much but my older brother thinks it's ridiculous, not because I collect them but because he has a brother who does... my brothers an idiot lol. I don't really tell anyone, no reason to as it would most go with them taking the piss out of it, I like to keep it as my personal hobby for myself. |

Yeah my mom n dad do. My dad looks for figures for me all the time since I'm away at college. He'll look at home while I look at school. My mom looks for me sometimes too. Very fortunate for them doing that, wouldn't have my massive collection without em! |

I'm the only one that collect's in my family.... my cousins and my brother actually think it's awesome the way I display them along with my dcuc and motu figures!!!! My wife sometimes hates it but deep down she loves them cuz she actually helps find some figures for me which is cool!!! My nephew who is 4 just stares at my collection hoping it will be his when he's older in which I believe it will be so Im cool with it  |

My wife doesnt see the point of it, but my kids always ask "whos that sheamus or macho man" those are the only one they know. They do ask me if I smell what the rock is cooking. lol. That drives my wife bananas ;D

my family is fine with it for the most part, when I over spend for things you can hear a judgmental tone in some voices from time to time but for the most part its all good, my mom if she goes out to TRU, Target, Kmart, Walmart or wherever always looks for things I may need and same goes for my girlfriend who is okay with it also and has a collection of Divas and KOs of her own

My dad didn't understand it at first, but I reasoned with him that this silly hobby is comparable to his devotion to Fantasy Football. My girlfriend is awesome and surprised me with a box of Legends last Christmas.

My girlfriend and I have lived together for almost 3 years now and she still thinks it's stupid. I have my own man cave room to put all my stuff in though so I just shut the door and she doesn't even see it 90% of the time. She does watch wrestling with me now though, which is really nice because she thought that was stupid too before I got her into it. I'm still working on getting her to buy me figures though.
My parents though, they are 100% with my hobby and have gotten me tons of figures over the years, WWE and otherwise. My dad and I used to go figure hunting for Star Wars figures all the time when I was growing up and he has always collected stuff too so I pretty much inherited the hobby. I'm 27 now and haven't lived with my parents since I went to undergrad but my dad will still get stuff for me off Ebay and my mom will place orders off RSC or wherever when I want stuff.
I've just always collected figures since I was young, and it's just always been my thing. I love it so if you want to embrace me you have to embrace my hobby, or at least tolerate it.
