When I was a kid, we didn't have a lot of money so I would have to use paper cut outs for my action figures, which always stuck with me I guess. As the years went by, rather than lament this, I came to appreciate how toys were such a great creative outlet for me. In many ways, it opened my mind in ways that gave me a heads-up later on down the road.

Now, I'm making good money, have 2 kids (both are girls and know each of my MU figs by heart which is funny), been married 10 years, and own several properties in my city. If anyone questions my hobby as childish, well...I'm handling my duties better than most people I know so I just ignore the haters. As it is, everyone who comes into my house loves looking at the collection anyway!

I say, keep at it to the degree and depth you want, regardless of what others may say or think.
