Don’t Touch My Action Figures
Action figure collecting is a big deal. Oh, not for kids . . . they just like playing with ’em. For adults. Adults don’t mess around with their action figure…

Action figure collecting is a big deal. Oh, not for kids . . . they just like playing with 'em. For adults. Adults don't mess around with their action figure collections.
There's a 34-year-old guy in Madison, Wisconsin who just became the poster boy for that obsession.
On Sunday night, he'd been drinking and he was pretty sure his 46-year-old wife had DAMAGED some of his action figures.
So he responded by grabbing an AX and using it to destroy the family's TV, TV stand, laptop . . . and car. He chopped off both of the side mirrors and eventually got the ax STUCK in the windshield . . . that's where the cops found it when they showed up.
He was arrested for disorderly conduct and property damage.
Sadly, we don't know what kind of action figures he collects, so feel free to speculate. Cough "Star Wars" cough. (His name and mugshot were not released.)
This is how we imagined the conversation went...
