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.

Top 10 Villain Figures & Collecting Hot Takes
It’s a wild one this week on Mighty Action Figure Radio. We kick things off with a real-life action sequence: Christian recounts a chaotic car breakdown saga, while Jon reveals how pushing the limits in the gym led to his first workout puke in over 20 years.
Then we get hands-on with a live unboxing and review of the new Punisher & Nick Fury Gamerverse 2-pack from Marvel Legends—does this set hit the mark or miss the target?
From there, we dive into our Top 10 villain action figures of all time. Who made the list? Who got snubbed? We break down the most menacing and must-have plastic bad guys ever made.
Finally, it’s time for TOY HOT TAKES, where controversy reigns. Christian buries Transformers and Pokémon six feet deep. Jon takes aim at the so-called “golden eras” of collecting and reveals which time period absolutely sucked.
