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.

Mighty Champions: Action Figure Radio
Spider-Man (2002), 7 Figure Fan Theory, and the Forgotten Pre-Orders
Episode 17: 7 Figure Fan Theory, Spider‑Man 2002 & NYCC ‘25 Unveils
We are back after a week off, and things get wild.
🎁 First up: live mystery pre‑order haul unboxing — Jon legitimately forgot what half of these are. We’ll reveal, react, and riff.
🕸️ Then we swing into a full Spider‑Man (2002) movie + toy line review — from Tobey Maguire nostalgia to Toy Biz’s Gargoyle base, Green Goblin glider, and early MCU seeds.
📣 After that: NYCC 2025 scoop — Hasbro drops Marvel Legends Dark Avengers Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2099, Warbow, Phantom Rider, Werewolf by Night, Iron Man Mark 72 and new Black Series Duel’s End Vader & Padmé Amidala 6″ figures.
🔍 McFarlane reveals are heating up too — new 7″ Elite Image founders line including Spawn, Savage Dragon, ShadowHawk, Spartan, Sara Pezzini & Prophet, plus Walmart Collector Con exclusives.
🧠 Finally: 7 Figure Fan Theory — your collector personality revealed through favorite lines, grails, emotional picks, and what drives your plastic passion.
Expect throwbacks (Spider‑Man Classics, Toy Biz, Kenner roots), fresh drops (Marvel Legends, Black Series, McFarlane), and the kind of banter only Toy Soldiers survive. Tune in, get outraged (in a fun way), and maybe help Jon remember what he ordered.
