Daniel Pickett<\/p>\n

\t\tAFi founder and Editor-In-Chief Daniel \u201cJulius Marx\u201d Pickett has been around toys his whole life. The first line he ever collected was Mego\u2019s World\u2019s Greatest Super Heroes line back in the 70s. He has been surrounded by collectables ever since. <\/p>\n

In 1999 he was confounded by a lack of information and news about some of his favorite toy lines he was collecting. Since he couldn\u2019t find the information he decided to pursue it himself thinking other people might also be interested in the same news. He started writing a weekly column on the toy industry and action figure for a toy news site and in a years time he tripled the sites daily traffic with his updates, reviews and product features. <\/p>\n

He built relationships with every major toy manufacturer and many sculptors, painters and mold makers. He grew his hobby into a world wide expertise that the industry has embraced. <\/p>\n

In 2004 he teamed up with his toy buddy Jason \u201cToyOtter\u201d Geyer and they created their own website www.ActionFigureInsider.com. <\/p>\n

Daniel has been quoted in both industry and mass media press outlets. Over the years Daniel and AFi have been sought out as experts in the field. Daniel was regularly featured on \u201cAttack of the Show\u201d on the G4 network as the primary contributor to their \u201cMint On Card\u201d segment, and our front page has been linked to from USA Today\u2019s
\n\u201cPop Candy\u201d Blog twice. Daniel\u2019s content has also been featured on Bloomberg News, MSNBC.com, Time.com, The Wall Street Journal, The Saturday Evening Post, CNN.com, AssociatedPress.com
\nWired.com, Fark.com, Boing-Boing, Gizmodo.com, Ain\u2019t It Cool News, the Official
\nStar Wars blog, Geekologie, G4, CNet and Toy Fare magazine, among many
\nothers. He has consulted on toy lines, books, documentaries and TV shows.<\/p>\n

But all of that really just sounds snooty and \u201ctootin\u2019 his own horn\u201d \u2013 the long and short of it is that Daniel loves toys and he LOVES talking about them.\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
