JDavis makes a very good point. If you are doing well in school, have a healthy social life, get on well with people, stay away from drugs and drink(until you are old enough), then there should be no problem! As long as playing with figures is just a small part of your life and doesn't dominate it, or other areas aren't being neglected, then fine!
If, for example, you had no friends, job and were failing school because you were too busy playing I would see why....but you seem to be doing okay!
My parents have absolutely no problem with me collecting TMNT(although I collect to display, not to play). I'm 19, but I am a member of two drama groups (with two plays coming up soon!), I am in college, I don't drink,smoke or take drugs, and I have a lot of good friends who I go out with regularly. I also have a part time job. Not that I'm trying to boast about all this stuff but my folks know I'm a normal teen who just happens to collect toys.
The whole "immature" thing drives me mad. No-one I know really gives me a hard time over liking T.M.N.T.(It's funny, people are more shocked that I don't drink alcohol then they are by my T.M.N.T liking!) but it irritates me that the class clown who insults people during class, acts like a jerk, gets drunk and sick at parties and is rude to people will not be thought of as immature while us cartoon fans are treated as such.
