Im 26, I display them only, but Every now and then I will grab a couple and try to do accurate finishers.
For me, looking at them is as mentally stimulating as it was for me to play with them when I was a kid. I can sit for hours looking over my arena display and moc collection thinking about various ways to make it look better or what I need for my collection next. Im into customizing now so I guess Id rather do that than play.

Im 26 and only have them to display. The only time i touch them is when
i take them out of the box or to dust them off. I really enjoy looking at them
and bring back memories of the old days when i was younger.

Im 24 and i still play almost everyday day, it keeps me sane because my job is so stressfull. Its my creative outlet really. Everyday is a different show, Raw, SD!, ECW, & Heat (My Legends Show). And every 8 Weeks worth of shows (2 Months) a Pay Per View. It reminds me of a quote i heard from a proverb in my asian art class "We don't stop playing when we grow old, we grow old when we stop playing" that's what it's like for me too |

im 29 and I play all the time, you know, when my wife is mad at me, I lock myself in my toy room and host a pay per view event in my RSR, complete with downloaded entrance songs and table matches and everything. screw anybody who thinks that is okay for adults to collect, display, customize and dress up their figures, and not okay to play with them. those people have no imaginations! hahaha

I`M 26 and don`t play with the figures, i make annimations with them but thats about it, i got the urge a few months ago and when i tried i just didn`t have the mind set anymore, my wife doesn`t mind the spare room being full of figures she infact helps me look when we go shopping.

I'm 23, and I've never played with WWE figures since I started collecting them several years ago. I just have them displayed in my display case and on some shelves. I never get the desire to have matches or anything.

I'm 23 and I still play with my figures. I have about 140 figs in 4 separate feds. I don't care what others think about me playing with figs. Its a way for my creativity to be used.

I display and pose my own figures, but I play with my son when he wants to. He's an only child, so it's fun for him to have a dad who can still have fun like a kid. Do what you like.

I'm 17 and still play. But my desire for playing with them is going down by the week (I can only play with them for around 20-30 minutes then get really bored). Are you me?  That is what I was going to say..  It's like it is a hassle just to get them out of the packages and then to do a match gets a little redundant after like 2/3 matches.. When I was like 12/13 I would play for a LONG time but now not so much.. I just collect and then mess around with them when I am bored. Well I guess we all have to grow up eventually but it is true that you should decide what you want to do because YOU want to, not because someone else will think it is dumb.. Who cares about them?  |

i'm 25. I stopped opening figures when i was in 7th grade and kept them in package. The KB massive Hasbro re-release is what made me do this.

I'd like to hit the idiot that made up a rule saying using Wrestling figures is babyish, Who cares dude aslong as you have fun its up to you. Your mates will only take the piss if they know your botherd by what there saying to you ??. And your GF isn't really that much in love with you if she laughs at somthing you do.

The OFFICIAL age when HAVE TO stop playing with figures is 12, anyone who plays with toys into their teens is gay/sad/intellectually- disabled etc (LOL)
If you really have to ask then maybe you should stop playing with them because it doesn't fit in with the socially accepted idea of what's cool. However, if you care more about what you think than what other people think then do whatever you feel like as long as it's not hurting anyone, you'll be happier in the long run.
I remember going off playing with my wrestling figures at about age 11 but I continued to buy the occasional one that I'd been hoping for for ages (I remember buying Hasbro Earthquake and Typhoon a while after I'd stopped playing and I wasn't sure why I'd bought them other than I'd wanted Hasbro to make those figures since I had been playing)
I'm 28 now and I rarely have the urge to play with my figures but occasionally I'll set up a few tables and have someone throw someone else through them, or sometimes I'll grab a couple of spare figures and bash them around a bit. Do whatever you want to, if you think you're to old to be "playing with toys" then just say you "have a fig fed" then no one will know whether you're sad or not.
