I never outgrew cartoons. I LOVE cartoons. I go to sleep every night watching Adult Swim on Cartoon Network and I used to record the Saturday morning cartoons but they all suck now but I still watch and record the Saturday evening cartoons on Cartoon Network. I never grew out of my love of Star Wars,Transformers, superheroes, and toy models.

But my room now shows my inner child and nerd.
I've got a bunch of comic book action figures.
Superman,Spider-man,Hulk,Captain America,Iron Man...etc...
And I've got a bunch of model and scale model cars.
Of course my Transformers. My parents never bought me the ones I wanted as a kid so I buy them now.
And my prides and joy. My Gundams.
Two or three times a year I'll pick up a model and spend about three weeks putting it together and obsessing over every little detail. I've got like 8 1:100 scale ones,10 1:144 scale ones all fully assembled and painted.

I don't let many people see my room because I know I'd catch hell for it but when I do show them most of them are impressed by the models because of all the tiny little details you have to paint on them to get them just right.

I always say if you keep your hobbies youthful you'll never grow old. It also helps in being able to connect with younger kids if you can appreciate how they see the world.
