Only one of my Ex's has liked TFs from the beginning (Her exact word was "Cool!" & grabbed the closest one of the shelf for a bit of a fiddle ).

The other Ex's knew exactly what type of nutcase I am when they met me - therefore fully expecting nutcases like myself to be into things like TFs (Don't ya know TFs & Whackjobs go together extremely well ).

TFs have never been the sole cause of the ending of any of my past relationships - It's not like I was spending their money on my TFs.

You'd think some girls would think you needed to "grow up" eventually but... Everyone has their thing (One of my Ex's was obsessive/compulsive over Scrapbooking for chrissakes ) & if TFs or any other hobby were to come between some girl demanding you give them up for her (Yes, they can be that egocentric) then she's definitely not worth your time.

From my personal experience anyway...

My present gf is the only one whos ever known. She's pretty cool w/ it though i knew it bugged her when I first surprised her. She would've never made the connection. I've been pretty private it till about early last year. Even a close mates of mine weren't aware for a llong time.

didnt quite know what and why i was collecting these toys in the past
came to better understand them better and have now claimed half of my present collection as "hers"

she's slowly contributing and deals with my obsession frequently....
never grumbled as far as i know

Man - From the sounds of things, I'm pretty lucky...My gf is really great about it! She probably doesn't understand the TF thing, but she has her own hobbies so she gets it in general! (Besides, I don't just collect TFs and she quite likes the other figures I have)

She goes toy hunting with me and for me. She's spent ages secretly tracking down figures as presents for me over the years too! She's great!

And to top it off, she also went and saw the movie 3 times with me last year... not bad for someone who's not really a fan of either TFs or Michael Bay
