If you think that toys are just for kids, meet Jared Middleton, who will change your opinion and make playing with toys seem badass. Middleton, known as Sirdork to his 68.2k Instagram followers, is a toy photographer who brings popular action figures to life in cinematic miniature scenes. The New York-based artist uses any elements the Earth provides us with, like water, dirt, or snow, unexpected things you can find at home, and even fire and explosives to create awesome practical effects in his photos that look just like screencaps from a movie and make lifeless figures appear full of life.

"I’m just a massive fanboy and collector! Nothing brings me more joy than trying to bring these figures and characters to life, and even telling a story about them in a photograph!" the photographer told Bored Panda.

If you are curious how they're made, Middleton also thought you might be, so he reveals the behind-the-scenes of each photograph in his short videos on social media. What do you think about Middleton's creative photos? Let us know in the comments!
