About author

Jarrett began his career interning for Miramax Films, 20th Century Fox, Ted Demme's Spanky Pictures and Rolling Stone before venturing out into a freelance writing career. He has written for Den of Geek, Cinema Blend, Enstars, Mania, Night & Day & Go Figure News and more. After a car accident put Jarrett in the hospital, he started the Facebook group Action Figure Junkies. Not knowing anything about Facebook Groups, Jarrett decided to be proactive from his hospital bed and begin a page with the hopes that 25 of his friends and family would join while he recuperated and that would be that. However, the familial community that Jarrett developed resonated with an audience on social media looking for a safe zone that collectors could share with their kids. He began to flood the page with insider news, in-store & online deals, reveals, and a steady flow of original content and art from the “Junkieverse” co-created with his award-winning artist older brother Jason. Simple tenets were set up including no cursing on the page, no bullying or put-downs with a general air of relaxed and friendly flow of all things toys including a buying/selling outpost. The group has since grown to nearly 30,000 members and now supports a website, YouTube page, Instagram and Twitter accounts. In January of 2018, Jarrett passed away due to complications from his injuries. His family, friends, and collaborators are carrying on the AFJ brand with the slogan #ALLFORJARRETT as their mantra.
