...and I'm not talking about tweaking it for display. I am talking about actually playing with them.
I'm 23 now, so it's been about 8 years since I have had an actual battle. I used to pretend to play sports with them. :o:D

Sometimes, I take my figures, line them up, and have some fun with my nerf guns. Not my important figures of course, just my old figures.

Yeah, I had a Joe Stealth Bomber for Christmas one year and ended up tearing a large gash in my arm off a tree branch when doing a bombing run in the woods. I've actually got a photo of me opening that thing at Christmas, but it would likely be Photoshopped to hell by the one or two "fans" out there... and I'd rather not have that on my head.

Well, then maybe the last time I got a lego set? Few months ago?
If that doesn't count, maybe a year ago, when I broke out the old Star Wars Micro Machines.
Those things are awesome! :D:D:D

i used to flood this dirt hill in my back yard and make a huge river kind of thing and put the figures in boats and trucks and send them down it, and with the ones i didnt like id barry their feet in the dirt and then let the hose go full blast to see if they could withstand the river!

My horror figures occasionally murder each other. But they always end up resurrected. I guess you could call that "playing."

I re-pose them all the time. It's been a while since I made them talk, fight, and what not.
I wish I had a pool for naval battles. I did have an awesome tree house though, many storm troopers lost their lives falling from it.

Errr, since I was 14 or so. I guess I grew out of it, cause I attempted to with my Halo stuff when I first got into that and I got bored after 5 minutes and played some XBL Halo 2. I do have every new figure, or at least 1 per haul, hump my gfs boobs for ****s and giggles, like its a right of passage for them now. She always tells me "it doesn't matter what you get, one of them always ends up humping me. WHY!!!???" Lol, it's funny to watch her shake her head at me spedcialness.

I used to mimic the voices of the early 90s cartoon show when I played with my old X-Men figures. And my Star Trek figures. I was getting really good at voice mimicing. Because of it, I can actually now do some others not for action figures. I can do a mean Meatwad, as well as Phil from Harvey Birdman, and a bunch of other voices from characters on AS I like to watch.

That was a blast! I hated getting that big thing in the pool.
I used to have wars on snow banks i made forts. I made battles all over outside. I stopped playing when i was around 15. I noticed the hot woman then. I then moved to playing the good old pigskin!
I play sometimes with my nephew cause he begs me. This does not last long maybe a few mins so he stops bothering me.

Yup. Video games ruined the imaginations of most youths. And I love it that way. I'll take my video games then paying with action figures any day. But I won't give up collecting for them. Funny how that works isn't it?
Pics or it didn't happen. :D
Lol, I would love to. Bet she'd kill me. I took a pic of her boobs with the cat laying on them fully dressed one time just to put up and she found it on the laptop and kicked me in the shin. I still thought it was histerical. She apparently didn't. Something about her boobs being on the internet for old perverted nerds to "pleasure themselves" to. I unno I was laughing too hard to pay too much attention.

I still play with my figures...especially at work. My Kratos typically takes out anyone who's trying to sneak up too close to my desk speakers and my Firestorm can't tolerate being anywhere near my Vader, so Vader had to jump down a level on my shelves...
Other than that, there's normally a "free for all" on Thursdays and my custom WH40K Grey Knight kills everyone w/ his warhammer before putting the crown atop his head...
Seriously though...i play with my figures when my wife is watching "Jon and Kate Plus 8" or "Little People, Big World" - makes me able to tolerate TLC...

I am always posing my figures, but actually playing with them I have not done since I was 13 I think.
One of my best memories is setting up my Jurassic Park fence, putting the humans inside, and having the T-Rexes, Spinosaurs, and Raptors attack and pick them off one by one.
I also have good memories with LEGO. I built cities, castles, battle stations, everything. Usually I would have the bad guys planning an evil scheme and attacking the good guys. The good guys always won out in the end.
I also played with my McFarlane NHL goalies. I would bounce the little pucks at them. :D
