If I get a girlfriend , I'd rather not show my TF collection (unless she's interested), because over in my town, girls care more about what you like (if they knew, goodbye women.) & looks rather than liking you no matter what, which sucks for me.
. Oh, well. Let me keep looking around!

Anyone like that simply has no appreciation to things. Everyone collects something. Some collect stamps, other guns, and everything else in between. I see TF's as a harmless hobby, like train set collectors. We collect because we like 'em, and we don't harm anyone with them. My dad used to collect and build model ships and military vehicles. Didn't make him any less of a person. The man was as rough and tough as they come.
I have mine out on display. They used to be in boxes. After I move, I will buy nice display cases and they will be in a room dedicated to showing movies, along with other stuff I have, so it will all fit in nicely. Say nothing. Let her or your friends discover them on their own. THey'll probably say "Hey, I remember those, that's pretty cool". And you have an instant conversation piece.

At least...

If you're a pretty normal guy and avoid the above, I don't think it'll really matter. I wouldn't bring it up first date and all due to stereotyping. However, if you plan on getting serious and all, it'll just be another hobby and I doubt would make or break the relationship.
If you're not so slick with the ladies, I can't imagine knowing you collect toys probably won't help things along too much, unless she does the same.
Then again, accept for statues in a display case, I don't like TFs in my bedroom or living room. Most of them stay in my study or in the bar/gaming room in the basement, so they've never bothered my gf any, who is not at all into TFs.
IDC though, I collect for me and really don't feel the ned to share my collection with anyone. Well excpet for my statues and MPs which are just too phenomenol to not share. Then again, those weren't made for kids anyway, so its a little different I think.
Summary: Guys will think its awesome, girls will think you're a big 'ole dork. Any questions?![]()
My opinion.
