>>9587738Listen to
>>9587773 and
>>9587761imo her concern is logical and definitely needs to be addressed (babies want to play with pretty much everything; seeing tons of colourful, cool-looking plastic men all over the walls will definitely motivate the kids to try and get them, even if they don't understand the concept of toys yet) but she should also respect your boundaries and try to collaborate with you to reach a solution that isn't just you entirely ditching an hobby that makes you happy.
Don't listen to the anons suggesting extreme reactions - you just need to talk to her, tell her that you understand her concerns but you also don't want to give up something that makes you feel happy. It's in the best interest of both to find a good solution that pleases both, so keep it friendly and calm, and if she cares about you and your relationship she will surely do the same, and I'm sure she will.
>I don't get into conversations about my toys with my wife often, I kinda avoid them to be honestYou should finally get into the topic for good anon. While you're having that conversation, ask her for her honest feelings about you collecting toys and all of that. Maybe get ready for an unpleasant answer since there's a stigma against these types of hobbies, but as long as she's respectful and you explain why you like collecting these things in particular, what it means to you etc. I'm sure she'll understand and it'll probably change her opinion on the subject, even just a bit.
Btw
>>9587833 is also right when it comes to solutions that you could bring up during the convo. Something like a basement-turned-mancave that is out of reach from your kids is probably the best option - after some time they're going to understand the concept of personal property and they're probably going to lose interest for figurines all together.
Maybe let your wife choose how to decorate the rest of the house in exchange for the mancave.
