Father and Son collection?

I'm too young to have kids now but I do want to have kid(s) someday and if they would like we would possibly start a collection.

Well actually my son's first action figure was John Cena (of course, right?). My wife bought him it when he was 3. He never really played with it because at the time he was mainly into Monster Jam Monster Trucks and Disney Pixar Cars. He didn't become interested until he was about to turn 5 years old. Hopefully you can spark your 2 year old's interest at an earlier age. Good luck man!

He wanted this Kane for so long (like he says in the video), the only problem was the price! I bought the figure on eBay because RSC wore out of stock and have yet to announce their back order (restock?).

He had to collect and save all his money to buy this figure. I think we paid about $64 for it. It's definitely the most expensive figure we have purchased. We usually only buy from retail stores unless I find a really good deal on eBay.

Anyhow, He would love to go onto ringside collectibles and watch the video they have on the site for this figure. I forget the RSC dude's name but he wears Kane's mask and pretends to be guy! The video is hilarious. My son loves it!

Nice thread.

I collect with my son. He's 3 and loves WWE wrestling figures and watching WWE.

I started buying Mattel figures for him when he was 2, hes probably got about 150 figures at the moment, although I have slowed down on buying them as much at the moment due to the expense. He's also got an Elite Scale Ring, Elimination Chamber, Rumbler ring and Rumbler MITB set, with about 20 rumblers.

I started to collect for myself too after buying him the RTWM Rock, and thinking how cool it looked, so I bought a double for me to display. I then bought a few more and started my own collection - i've currently got about 120 figures for display.

I should upload some vids of my son playing as he cracks me up. He just copies what he sees on my WWE dvds. He loves DX at the moment and to see him sat playing, saying that 'Vince loves cocks' is hilarious. He has no idea what he's saying but I find it pretty funny - my girlfriend doesnt agree though!

Wow, that's a lot of figures for a 3 year old. I enjoy watching my son play with his figures too. It's funny to hear his announcing and commentary.

Nice! I'd say let him watch the current program and allow him to discover his favorite wrestlers. Then you can slowly introduce the older stuff. At first, my son wouldn't like to watch any Bret Hart, Mr Perfect, Jake The Snake, or any other old school wrestling matches. But now he loves all wrestling. We have vast amount of DVDs we watch together. He is also slowly becoming interested in TNA wrestling.

I'd agree with this, todays WWE is far more appealing to children. My son loves all of the current superstars. I tried getting him to watch some classic WWF from when I was a kid, but the matches are too slow-paced, and it was only watching it with him when I realised just how much it had evolved.

He does like more classic wrestlers now, and will watch some older stuff, but this is down more to playing WWE Allstars on PS3 and seeing the wrestlers on there.

How about the other way around? I collect with my dad. Actually I do the collecting. He jsut sits there and tells me to grow up and stop wasting my money on toys. Yeah, tells me to grow up and stop wasting money meanwhile he is usually smoking a cigarette while telling me that. Hey dad, how about you grow up and start doing meth like a real man. No, not a good idea? Gotcha.

Nice, dude thanks for sharing. I wish to have something like this with my future son someday.
