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.
New episodes every week.

Toy Aisle Time Capsule & Action Figure Stock Report
This week, Jon & Christian crack open the vault and take a trip back to Fall 2005 in the debut of our new segment: Toy Aisle Time Capsule—where we explore what was really on the shelves at your local Target, KB Toys, or Wal-Mart during a specific era.
From the rise of DC Superheroes by Mattel to the dominance of Jakks WWE, and from Star Wars Revenge of the Sith to Ninja Turtles, we look at what lines were peaking, launching, or dying in late ‘05. We also talk collecting habits, retail landscape shifts, and what the figures said about pop culture at the time.
We always have the up-to-date collectable news of the week, and our Toy Soldier Figure Flashback
Then, we return to the present for our Figure Stock Report—covering what’s currently on the pegs across all the major brands: Hasbro, Mattel, McFarlane, NECA, Super7, Playmates, and beyond. We break down the active lines, retail presence, and figure momentum as of Fall 2025.
