Collecting is great at the beginning, frustrating in the middle and great when you know you?re in the home stretch and have the look you want and ready to quit.

It sucks if you run out of space or realize you have statues worth of a nice car.
Worst part about this hobby tho, is to bring family members home.

Nah not as bad as inviting dates over.
One way or another, the judgment is swift, decisive, and rarely complimentary; negatively stereotypical at worst and bewilderment at best.

I got compliments all the time in the early days when I had two or three statues. A whole room full, and non-collecting people (AKA the poors) get jealous.

I've solved this issue by having all my statues in a separate bedroom. Close the door to my hobby room. No statues in the living room. Then one day, if she be worthy, shall be shown the power of the statue room.

My wife knew about statues very early on in the dating years. My collection of art pales in comparison to her shoes and dresses though.

Not really though. Females come with the expectation that too many outfits is part of the deal.
Guys can have a gun cabinet. Maybe a couple sets of golf clubs.
No female expects a man with man dolls.

Two or three statues, they're a conversation piece.
A whole room full, I don't think it's jealousy you're facing ;-)
