Unboxing toys? Sacrilege! Read an and find why Daniel Picard (with a name like that he really should be a Star Trek fan) does such a thing, and to such great effect.
It all started in 2010, when Picard wanted to make a photo of a balloon in a field but couldn’t find a model. Ever resourceful, he used a toy robot instead. He loved the results and wondered what else he could do with toys. He happened upon Sideshow Collectibles and was flabbergasted to find his childhood heroes rendered in minute detail. It wasn’t long before Star Wars and GI Joe characters started arriving at his door. “My collection grew to go along with the new stories I wanted to tell,” Picard says. “I was essentially buying figures to be my actors and fill in the missing roles.”
