Mighty Champions: Action Figure Radio
Mighty Champions: Action Figure Radio is a weekly podcast for action figure collectors who never really stopped playing. They just got more shelves.
Hosted by lifelong collectors Jon Sargent and Christian McGahan, the show covers action figures and collectibles from the 80s, 90s, 2000s, and today, with equal love for vintage classics and modern lines. From WWE, Marvel Legends, and DC Universe Classics to TMNT, Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Power Rangers, He-Man, and beyond, nothing is off the table if it belongs in the toy aisle conversation.
Each episode blends nostalgia, current hobby news, and real collector perspective. The hosts break down new reveals, recent pickups, and major moments in toy history, while also getting into group toy hunts, live drafts, secondary-market chaos, Whatnot sales, convention stories, and the way collecting actually fits into adult life.
This isn’t an instruction manual or a hype machine. It’s a hangout for collectors who’ve been doing this long enough to have opinions, stories, wins, losses, and shelves that tell a story. Sometimes the show goes deep on a single era or toy line. Sometimes it turns into a creative exercise about how and why we connect with these figures in the first place.
If you collect loose, mint on card, or somewhere in between—and if you enjoy talking toys with people who genuinely love the hobby—this is your spot.

🪖 Then we debut our new listener segment, Toy Soldier Figure Flashback, where a Toy Soldier from the audience gives their childhood favorite long-overdue spotlight.
🔫 The main event? A deep dive into the gloriously insane era when R-rated movies got full-blown kids toy lines. From Rambo’s grenade launchers to Terminator’s Bio-Flesh Regenerator, we cover the most iconic and questionable figures from:
- Rambo: The Force of Freedom
- Terminator 2
- Robocop and the Ultra Police
- Aliens & Predator
- Toxic Crusaders
- Police Academy
- Conan the Barbarian
📰 In The News, we cover all the major updates from the big toy companies—what’s coming, what’s delayed, and what’s surprising the community.
🦖 Finally, in On Deck Collections, Christian is hunting down original Kenner Jurassic Park, and Jon comes to a bold realization about just how foundational 1988 Playmates TMNT is to who he is as a person.
If you grew up sneaking action movies you weren’t allowed to watch, but proudly owned the figures—you’ll feel right at home.
