Does anyone have people in their family that actually pressures you to sell your ponies, or lectures you about it? I find this just as annoying as having to justify collecting. I have a couple of family members that know they are worth money (my grandpa and a cousin), and they keep on asking me why I haven't sold them yet while they're worth money. *rolls eyes* Hey, I'm the fool who will spend $100+ on a pony when I have the funds. No way am I selling my collection I love so much!
People like that are incredibly shallow, in my opinion. And definitely not someone to worry about. Sadly, there are a lot of stupid people out there who have these kinds of reactions. I've had the same thing happen to me. Don't let it bother you. Collect, and live your life the way you want to. You don't have to justify what makes you happy. If someone else is worried about what you do, it's on them.

Star Wars figures (they are not toys) are collectibles. My Little Ponies and Monster High are toys for little girls.^ That is it right there. For those folks there is a bias towards female-centric items being toys for children only and not something one should enjoy into adulthood. There is nothing childish about grown men collecting action figures however.
Men's figures are technically still dolls and definitely toys.
Lets not forget the fact that half the toys young girls have involve simulation around being mother to a baby who cries or needs nappies changed, cooking, cleaning, cribs and such other stereotypical nonsense. When I was a kid it was all about playing mummies and daddies and even now you see young girls pushing dolls in pushchairs or prams.
