Sometimes I just like to sit and pose a figure to have something to fidget with. The most relaxing thing is laying on the couch and having a figure to move in my hands while I watch something. It is somehow satisfying. Doesn't have to be wrestling, I also enjoy baseball, football and superhero flicks.
Anyone else do this?

Are you trying to ask if it's ok to be a grown man who plays with their toys? Because if you are...it's fine.

I had to look that up. Not really, just feels satisfying. Sometimes when I sit still I have the need for something in my hands to keep focused. Figures are my favorite, though some people might do the same thing with playdoh or a stress ball.

When I'm at home I almost always have at least one figure in my hand. I'm 24 and have no shame about it haha

I often do when I'm watching something on the computer.
Although I do straight sot on the floor playing with that sh*t like an 8 year old sometimes, too.
I don't need you to judge me! My wife already does that!

I could really go for some Ember Moon hand candy now lol
Back when I wrote for action figure websites, posing and photographing figs almost put me în a zen state.

Absolutely. Everytime I sit on the couch after the kids go to bed, I always have a figure in my hands. I am not sure if it is just habit or what it is, but I find it relaxing.

As far as just messing with the figures goes yes. It's calming.
But when it comes to posing them for pictures though, Hell no. Its usually the most frustrating thing trying to keep them balanced, get the lighting right and the angle right.

for me, just grabbin a couple figs and doin a few punches, whips into imaginary ropes, a back drop and eventually a suplex, kinda curbs my inability to sit still sometimes.

The only time I pose my figures is when I'm filming a show, so I'm usually concentrating quite a bit on the pose, lighting and camera angles. I enjoy all of that though.

I pose my figure in an area where I check them out before heading to work. It's like showing off my trophies.

I plan on reorganizing my shelves when I get home today. There's nothing more relaxing to me than doing that on a Sunday evening. It makes the week feel complete and eases my mind about having to return to work Monday. I get the same from reading comics.

I usually have one figure around my work area to pose around and tinker with. It changes periodically, like right now I have Network Vince and NECA Jason

On occasion I've grabbed two figures and just played out a slow motion match on my bed or on my chest when I'm laying down. It's engaging for a few minutes. I've then tried to convert that into getting out the ring and playing actual matches and I can't get into it anymore.

YES!!!!!
When I was finishing my masters, I kept getting frustrated. As I kept getting smarter I got frustrated. I tried everything. Eventually I got some Spiderman figures and just started posing them.
I theorize it was a way for me to critical think and use my mind to create things. Creation of poses and getting it just right helped me think clearer and ease frustration. Mattel figures, not so much. They are awful...AWFUL for posing.
