Going to be 26 in a couple months and I still play.
In fact, I have a PPV, Bad Blood, coming up.

Back during the bca days i used to play with my figures all the time. I would write out storylines while in school. Now i don't seem to have the time to play with my figures. I am 26.

I stopped around 15. Not that it was weird, but I kinda just lost the feeling. I felt I was forcing it.

Not fully fledged shows, storylines and matches like I'd do as a kid/young teen. I'm 23 now and the itch isn't really there anymore but sometimes when I go into my room I'll walk past my displayed Mattel figures and maybe grab two and mess around, before I know I've been sitting there for 10 minutes. I am considering maybe getting a Mattel ring so that I can play properly once again when I get bored. They are there after all, why not eh? ![:)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/smiley.gif)

I lost all desire to play with them when I was 19. I still collect sporadically though.

They look like a pain in the arse to set up and would just take up too much space.

Its just like the toy rings you can get, all you do differently id put some pegs under the ring to keep it together, put a ring skirt on and attached the turn buckle to the posts which is just a clip on. Nothing too fiddly or anything ![:)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/smiley.gif) But it is enormous! ![:P](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/tongue.gif) Fills the width nearly of my single bed! ![:P](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/tongue.gif)

I stereotypically stopped playing with my wrestling figures when I was 14 but I still make my Jeff Hardy figure do the 'choke the chicken' motion every once in a while and make him dry hump the air for my 5 second amusement.. lol.

I still do but I've been on a hiatus since January, I post my show in the text federation board, I was writing with a friend of mine in our spare time we would work on it at least twice a month and produce a show, but we have parted ways as friends and unfortunelty I have to reboot my stories and history now.
I've been working on it a little bit lately, but without a arena it's been difficult to produce shows. I could build a smaller arena with a smaller ring but I really enjoy my custom real scale ring and stage and so I would perfer to build one around it. However I've been debating on buying 2 small card tables and setting them up in my spare room. I just have to do some measuring and see.
I'm still collecting though, however with the recent peg warming sets I haven't found anything new. I do still need to pick up Razor Ramon though.

I legitimately played with my figures (Had a fed, shows, set-up, etc) until i was at least 17.
It was my hobby. I LOVED booking, developing talent, putting together awesome and realistic matches and storys, etc. It was just my thing and i never felt weird about it, i honestly look at it as the first way i manifested my love of professional wrestling into something more.
I legitimately think i learned more about the business, what it takes to put together a compelling match, booking, etc. playing with my figures then i ever did from watching wrestling.
Its been two years now and i still miss "playing" with my figs alot. Nothing has been able to fill that void of fun, creativity, etc. Hopefully sometime soon I'll find something to fill that void, but i legitimately don't think i will until i finally get into the business myself.

I stopped playing with Jakks when I was in 5th grade; gave all my figs to my little cousin. My summer of 2011, I stumbled across Ringside and fell in love with Elite 20 Punk (b/c of the WWE title). So I ordered it, which I regret because at the time, RSC exclusive Stone Cold was still available which I stI'll don't own not one elite Austin. I collect only Elites and only have 2 divas (red Bellas). I'm 18 about to graduate. My gf lives with me, she plays with them sometimes, but our tag matches turn into tornado 6 on 6 tag. I haven't found Paige on my scavenger hunt but when I do, I'll need doubles. I'm really behind on the Mattel game, starting late obviously. But yes, my girl and I play with our figs in a "proper way" about 20 mins woworth a session daily.

My pic fed basically killed my hand fed to a certain degree. Though I do play the odd match.

It has been a long time since I've had a lot of figures and even longer since I actually spent time playing with them. In the good days I could play with them for half an hour if not an hour plus but as I got older it would seem like such a hassle to take some of them out of the box and then figure out what I wanted to do. Now I only have certain figures and they are in boxes. I am thinking of selling the rest of them on eBay since I could use the cash to feed my addiction of buying wrestling cards on eBay lol. ![:-S](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wavey.png)

I do. It makes me happy, and some of my fondest memories are from playing with my figures back when I was small... I wrote down matches, storylines, move ideas, ppv logo ideas, everything. I still have the notebook I did all that in and I look at it sometimes whenever I feel depressed. I've been having trouble having fun with just about anything over the past month, and have only just started to enjoy it again. In fact, last night I had a 12 man...match? You would be eliminated by pinfall or submission. Throughout the match, I came up with the idea of eliminations corresponding with tournament entries. First gone vs Last gone, Runner up vs Second to last etc (All this while pulling off a fantastic J.R. impression by the way)
But seriously, my figures, EWR, and Smackdown vs Raw 2006 are where my creativeness shines. I love it, and don't see myself stopping anytime soon.
All this...and I turned 17 two months ago.
