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
What If Your Entire Collection Disappeared?!
In Episode 30 of Mighty Champions: Action Figure Radio, Jon and Christian recap their weekend at Retromania, a collectibles convention in the San Antonio, Texas area. They break down the highs and lows of the show, the figures they hunted down, the ones that got away, and the familiar frustrations that come with convention floors, pricing, and timing.
From there, the episode shifts into a full rundown of the action figure news of the week, including updates and discussion around McFarlane Toys, Boss Fight Studios’ Legends of Lucha Libre, the latest WWE Elite releases, and the newly revealed Mondo Beavis & Butt-Head figures.
The main segment asks a nightmare scenario every collector has considered at least once: What if your entire collection disappeared overnight? With real-world prices, current budgets, and today’s market in mind, Jon and Christian walk through exactly what they would buy first, what lines they’d prioritize, and how their collecting philosophy changes when starting over from scratch.
Vintage and modern collide, budgets get real, and collecting habits are put under the microscope in an episode built around experience, perspective, and the reality of collecting then and now.
