    Maintaining a collecting hobby

So far I have done the following to hopefully reduce that risk...

    Don't want to give up Action Figures

    Figured I'd share a photo of what my collection looks like, just a small piece but yeah, I love and adore these things. The buying process, the unboxing it out of the shipping packets and displaying. I like keeping in boxes for display and the box art is beautiful to me. I want to keep being...

    Hobby Anxiety

    I've since found a group of people in their 50s to 70s who still love these figures and collect them. So I'm starting to feel army men collecting is a hobby that anyone at any age can enjoy, if someone in their 70s can enjoy it. I guess it's okay to do so myself

    I had a slight feeling like this in high school. Basically I got an award for some achievement and was asked to present at some assembly held after school at night. I did not want to have attention drawn to myself as I was trying to hide from the public eye...was awful
