<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nJulius had decided to gather together a group of like-minded toy collectors for a new podcast. He was looking for individuals that shared his philosophy about toy collecting: that it should be fun, that collections should be curated with joy, and that any negativity that should come up should be managed and reasoned instead of spewed. Oh, and there was one other thing we all happened to have in common. Julius & Noisy? See, those are just code names. Code names for guys named Dan. Put us together and toss into two incredibly talented guys, who also happened to be named Dan, Pixel Dan & Cantina Dan – and *boom* you get a cockamamie idea for a podcast.<\/p>\n While I’m the one Dan that hasn’t met the other Dan’s in person (some day I’ve gotta hike myself out to one of the coasts), I have a tremendous amount of respect for all three of my fellow Dans and was super-excited to be a part of this podcast! Well, maybe not as super-excited as being Sam’s Dad, but this podcast is up there with Toy Fair announcements at least! <\/p>\n If you know me & IAT, then chances are you’ve heard of all the other Dans, but if not here’s a looksee at their great sites: <\/p>\n In our inaugural episode (available below & soon to be on iTunes), each Dan recounts their “Secret Origin”, or at least how they came to be who they are online and we get in a little bit of pre-Toy Fair discussion in anticipation of the big show! The plan is to make this a monthly podcast with each episode covering a different topic – and for that, we’d love to hear your ideas. This is your chance to get in the danversation. What would you like to hear us Dan on about? Let me know here at IAT or check out our Facebook page<\/a> to provide some feedback there!<\/p>\n![](\"newsimages\/LegionofDansLogo.jpg\"\/)
<\/a>A few weeks ago, Julius Marx, of ActionFigureInsider.com<\/a>, contacted me about a cockamamie idea. <\/p>\n\n
