Daniel Pickett

AFi founder and editor-in-chief Daniel “Julius Marx” Pickett has worked with toys his entire life. The first line he collected was Mego’s World’s Greatest Superheroes back in the 70s. He’s been surrounded by collectibles ever since. In 1999, he was baffled by the lack of information and news on some of his favorite toy lines that he collected. Since he couldn’t find the information, he decided to look it up himself, thinking that other people might also be interested in the same news. He began writing a weekly column about the toy and action figure industry for a toy news site, and within a few years he tripled the site’s daily traffic with his updates, its reviews and product features. He established relationships with all the major toy manufacturers and many sculptors, painters and mold makers. He evolved his hobby into a global expertise that the industry adopted. In 2004, he teamed up with his toy buddy Jason “ToyOtter” Geyer and they created their own website www.ActionFigureInsider.com. Daniel has been quoted in the industry press and mass media. Over the years, Daniel and AFi have been sought after as experts in the field. Daniel was regularly featured on the G4 Network’s “Attack of the Show” as the main contributor to their “Mint On Card” segment, and our front page was linked to USA Today’s “Pop Candy” blog twice. Daniel’s content has also been featured on Bloomberg News, MSNBC.com, Time.com, The Wall Street Journal, The Saturday Evening Post, CNN.com, AssociatedPress.com Wired.com, Fark.com, Boing-Boing, Gizmodo .com, Ain’t It Cool News, the official Star Wars blog, Geekologie, G4, CNet, and Toy Fare magazine, among others. He has consulted on toy lines, books, documentaries and television shows. But this all seems really pretentious and “honking” – in short, Daniel loves toys and he LOVES talking about them.
