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.
