When I was younger, I'd play with them. Make storylines and keep track of it in a marble notebook. I forgot what grade I was in but every week I had to do creative writing and I would always turn in fantasy RAW's and Smackdown's. More recently, really since I made the switch from Jakks to Mattel, I put more money into the figures but I almost never touch them once I take them out of the box and put them on display. I haven't even taken any pictures of my new recievings. I guess I'm having a bad week. I'm still waiting on a couple packages but I feel like I've lost interest. I haven't been on the forum in a couple days either. I think I'm depressed. I picked up two of my most favorite figures, HBK and Hart, and I found myself incredibly lazily just kicking each other. One shelf fell down when I carelessly placed HBK and Hart back on display and it took me hours to even begin fixing it. Does anyone else go through periods like this. I don't want to stop collecting because this is my greatest passion, but I feel like I'm losing interest.

I'm getting older man, and I gotta say it's not what it was. I still try and run a pic fed to get me still in the game but I've definitely gone through periods of not being all that interested. takes a few days and then boom. I'm planning again, shooting etc. it'll come back

I am making awesome playsets and having the time of my life. Cannot wait to really test out my new Lion's Den match. I have had some impromptu matches in it so far but nothing to write in my notebook.

I would play with them when I was younger, but these days I only display my figures.

I remember years ago, I set up my old figures one last time to see if I still had it.
I didn't. It was quite depressing to know one of my childhood hobbies had left me.
My old figures are in tubs at my dad's house, chilling in the closet, where they've been for almost 7 or 8 years.
They're all together, hopefully keeping each other company.

I put up a shelf in the bedroom so theyre not crammed in my storage bin, and my customs are on top of my small dresser, the bin has all my accesories now instead. Thats about it, we rent a townhouse that doesnt leave much room for stuff like my collection, especially with two RSRs one of them being the HIAC, and a bunch of tables and such. Once my gf's son moves out or we can get a house Ill be able to have a place to permanently display my stuff

I play with them with my daughter. I also play with LalaLoopsies, Barbies, Spongebob, Little People, every toy imaginable really. To be honest, even though I'm 29, I feel like I'm just pretending to be an adult. In my heart, I'm still a kid.

I put them in sexual situations . Just kidding, I don't collect anymore, but I keep the ones I have collected on display still.

Why not just collect them for display? Judging by your post, you seem a little old to still be playing with toys and making your own little fantasy matches etc..

Man, haven't you ever seen Toy Story 3? How could you DO that to them!

i collect them. i have a handful i keep moc and the rest is loose. i might set them up in some moves here in there but mostly just a plain old display. i have three or four areas i like to touch upon: current - this is my parallel to the current roster. some stand-ins for guys that are too new and don't have figs yet. I might also change a coulpe of the mid-card belt storylines and champs but it's pretty close to what you'd see on tv. usually divded into RAW and SmackDown! (as pointless as the idea of two rosters is nowadays) with champions in front intertwined with their top contenders with the background mid/lowcarders being split into good guys on one side and bad guys on the other. shelf of champions - this is my favorite. i want one figure of each of the champions. Some guys like Hogan and Undertaker might need multiple entries representing the drastically different looks during different decades. still working out the kinks on this one as for how to actually display - going more chronologically but keeping my favorites in the front row. my hall of favorites - classics, currents, future endeavoreds, customs, it's a free-for-all and it's only my favorites. all-time-champs/belt collection - one of each incarnation of every title belt i can find and the superstar who i feel best embodies, desrves or just looks coolest that title. (i.e. Honky Tonk Man with the classic IC belt and road warriors sporting the NWA tag belts) the last two can sort of overlap a little. i'll have a few jakks mixed in but it's mostly all mattel at this point. still getting set up as i recently moved into a newly renovated man room and i gotta build all my whole setup from scratch.

Since I collect them MOC, I try and put them on display as best as I can.

Honestly, I do set them up for display, but my daughter wants to play with them, so I play with them with her. I do feel like a big kid, but I don't have fantasy matches or anything like that. I like playing with my daughter and I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

I just mean that you shouldnt feel tgat its time to quit collecting just because your not playing with them like you may have when you were younger. I dont play with mine but I do find myself moving them around a lot and changing tgeir posing positions. Usually twice a week lol
