Re: Average Age?
Chronologically or emotional?
Actual - mid to late 20's
Emotionally - about 12 on a good day.

Re: Average Age?
The average age is probably around 30. A majority of collectors are going to be under 25 with a significant number of 40 and 50-somethings to round it out.
The average maturity age, on the other hand, is probably around 6.

I'm 27 but people say I can look as young as 12! Sometimes I act like I'm 12 just to mess with them.

29, makes it easier than being a teenager. I remember trying to collect stuff as a teen, harder to make online purchases.

Re: Average Age?
Will be 38 on the 16th, although I feel late 20s most of the time.
Wife is 29 and collects a small amount.
Son is 13 and only has the master chief Pop, scoffs at my collection mostly,
Daughter is 9 months old and I will be buying Pops for her birthday, to go on a top shelf until she's old enough to take proper care.
A co-worker who is a recent Pop addict is 30, but she hasn't joined the forum yet.

Too bad this board doesn't offer polls (that I can tell); would have made this a whole lot easier.

Re: Average Age?
I am 25.
I think pop collectors and the newer crowd of funatics are 20-30, while the ones that mainly do Wobblers, or at least started with an older line, tend to be a bit older. I love loyalty to funko, I hope to still be following the company in another 10 years!

We could have set up a pole. It's more fun to see who is what age (some people are not being truthful
