this is not a good example, it is not accurate, at all, WTF Ween?
you are comparing Hot Toys movie collecting to men that obsess over a little girl's cartoon
kids play with GI Joes, and hot wheels, girls play with barbies and ponies,
so that is like apples and oranges, specially because I Don't date men, I date women,
your question should have been: Look at this way, what do you think of Women being bronies?
and I wouldn't care,
If a girl is a twihard or a brony or obsessed with Hello Kitty,
(Which one of my exes was, everything in her house was hello Kitty, even her covers)
I wouldn't think anything, because a girl can like the things girls like, or women,
being a brony is not really that normal,
but guys collecting Terminator or Predator or Dracula toys, well, it might not be common, but it is something some guys do, fans of movies, it is not as weird, for some woman to act like you are a freak,
look at how many people love Batman, one of me most successful movies of all time
that movie has millions of fans, Avengers, millions of fans all across the world,
superheroes are big business today, Big,
Is like this scene of Dodgeball,
but with the guy making fun of the girl and leaving, just because she loves unicorns, ( he doesn't leave, they get together) [ame]https://youtu.be/_mqtGECIT3I[/ame]
like I Said earlier, women look the other way when other things guys do, even bad things like drugs or cheating,
but show a girl a toy and you are a weirdo...
some women are just stupid, I guess is what I mean, a large group actually

I know Ween is right,
If you have a massive collection that she's likely to notice, I'd personally recommend bringing it up on a first date, but very casually and maybe introduce it as an 'investment' so the girl doesn't think you're just blowing away your money. And just make sure that they're displayed in good masculine taste. 
I found that the best way to introduce a girl to a collection, is to have it placed around sporadically in a recreation room, or living room. Getting nice, museum type displays like lighted detolfs also helps with presentation. Also, have a few other things around like a pool table, a large screen hd-tv, dart boards, chess tables, and large movie posters so it doesn't look like it's primarily your place to display action figures/toys. You can tell a girl something along the lines of, "well, here's my recreation room. As you can see, I like a lot of nice things".
Case in point: Presentation is everything. Even though you're displaying action figures, you'll want it to look like a man's room that vibes of maturity; not somewhere that gives the impression that you haven't grown up from your teenage years (even though that's not the case).
Granted, not all girls will like the idea that you collect, but they're not worth your time and effort, anyway - screw them. There's only so much that you can do.

The last few posts have been spot on. Its good to see that everyone has a united opinion.
PRESENTATION IS EVERYTHING.
Classy, professional displays are the way to go for a "bachelor collector".

that is what amazes me about some women and how close minded they are. Specially with how the media is trying to make nerds "cool" now. And it has even become trendy with how huge Comic Con is, you would think people would be used to nerdy people by now.
I used to think that hobbies and likes is what attracted people to each other in the first place, but I guess I was wrong. Maybe that's why there's so much divorce these days. I would never want someone who didn't at least share in some of my interests.

My girl's interests include baking awesome f **king cakes and biscuits, a hobby I wholeheartedly support
I agree, well said! There needs to be mutual interests but also the respect from each partner regarding any hobbies, interests, etc.
And even if they don't share your interests, they should at least respect you enough to not judge you, or become condescending about it. Not doing that is the ultimate sign of immaturity, in my opinion.
