I have a 7 year old son and a 5 year old son. I will play with my collection with them. It's fun at times to see what story lines they come up with. The 7 year old has cena beat everyone. Sounds like 2007 WWE for real.

If you are 18 and you collect action figures then you need a life.

ill be 22 at the end of the month. i have a fed thats been nonstop for about 5 years now(i stopped for a while when i got hardcore into skateboarding as a younger teen[for those who care, i still like skateboarding too]). i think its fun. i have a job where half my time is spent by myself moving and rearranging stuff, gives me something fun to think about. oh, and by the way, my fiancee knows i play, and she thinks its cool, shes even said she wishes she did. she told me to play with them while she was with me one day... cant do that yet though... doing my announcer voices may scare her a bit i feel...
if u dont play cuz u dont want to, thats cool. but, if u dont play simply because u think ur too old, and u think people will make fun of u, then f them, just do it. u dont hafta be wicked social about it, but, if u find it fun, theres nothing wrong with it.

If you are 18 and you collect action figures then you need a life. Thats the first post that was negative but like everyone said who cares what people think and If I don't have a life because I still play or collect then I'm happy that I don't have a life!

I often play with mine. I never bother to set an arena out anymore. I just create little storylines, and have matches on the floor. Although I don't do it as much as I used to.

I'm nineteen, I haven't busted out my ring in months, but I do still play with them usually on a every other day basis.

i've had the urge to play with my figs and had a match here and there, but haven't in like 2 years or so, only when i'm bored and my little brother is playing with his figs and i sporadically join in and make the miz capture every belt in his fed or make the alpha male pounce everyone in sight do i play with figs....lol....i'm 23 and haven't been into collecting as much anyway, but i have recently started trying collect the visionaries action figures back from 1987 (when every cartoon had a figure line to correspond with it). i loved them when i was a kid and i have a couple of MOC ones and always have the urge to open them and relive childhood memories....lol

I look at it this way. Every body will have an opinion as to what is childish and what isnt. I have a pic fed and I'm a few days over 18 . I dont consider myself playing with them but rather expressing my creativity, but whatever. Point is, I see 30,40, 50, 60 year old mean still playing video games, still doing fantasy baseball, still watching wrestling, still collecting coins, baseball cards, etc The same aged women collect barbies, do scrap booking, collect porcelin dolls, play video games, etc. To some people, some of that stuff is a waste of time or childish. I say this, who cares what they think...if it's something you enjoy doing and its not an obsession ofr takes away from living, then i say go for it. People need an outlet and each person is different.

Honestly, and no offense to collectors. I dont get the point of buying them if you're just gonna sit them on a shelf. I mean if they have value thats' one thing but to buy the figs open them and just put them on a shelf doesnt seem practical to me. MOre than likely they wont gain much value and then your stuck with thousands of dollars just sitting on the shelf doing nothing...but to each his own

Yeah, if you love doing it dont stop because someone doesnt like it. I mean, dont let it cost you your job, family, etc but ya know let it be an addition to your life. To me it's wasting money if i dont use it. Like i have a few figs on my shelf and I'm about to sell them because i'm not doing anything with them and they arent worth alot. but yeah, i can see your point
