    Default Too Old For Action Figures?

    That's what someone said about my collection. I wonder. What's your thoughts on collecting action figures?

    Follow your bliss. Collect what you love and don't worry about what others think, and don't worry about what others collect either. If it makes you happy and doesn't hurt anyone, it doesn't matter what others think.

    If you have the ability to do what you love then why not do it?

    I've definitely lightened up on it but I still get figures and statues when I have the opportunity. I don't see the harm in doing something that makes me happy, and these days since everything can be posed they can make for some interesting display/conversation pieces.

    The harm that could be in it is small, and that would be that the stock might run out before a kid could buy them lmao. But good on ya bro I support your endeavors

    Never too old.
    I retired from the Army at age 45, and when I did I needed a box just for my Thor memorabilia collection. Action figures, hammers, even pez dispensers. I’m 51 now and my collection’s just gotten bigger.

    If it makes you happy and you get enjoyment from it, and as long as it doesn't hurt someone, I say keeping collecting.

    What I like about this set is the figures are scaled properly. Scott is smaller in stature than Barda. I wish the Kirby classic New Gods figure series adhered to the right proportions.

    If you like what you do and can comfortably afford it go for it, adults collect Beanie Babies, Barbies, and model trains. As long you're not playing with them on the floor having pretend battles (too much) it should be fine.

    Ill never ever let my age stop me from doing anything. Fuck societal norms or caring what other people think. I have a few collections, silent film figures, green lantern corps (and all the other corps) ,swamp thing associated characters (deadman, spectre, etrigan you get the point), justice league, and xmen. Im very specific in my toy collecting.

    I'm 27 and I collect Funko Pops heavy. Every once in a while I might add a Marvel Legends figure or Diamond Select statue.

    Who cares lol? Life is far too short to let others decide if our lifestyle is acceptable or not. Unless you are harming someone or even yourself, there is no problem.
