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
Chasing Lord of the Rings & Terminator 2 + A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Quiz
Episode 31 of Mighty Champions: Action Figure Radio opens in unexpected territory, with Christian debuting a piece of Sopranos fan fiction and the hosts seriously pondering what a Sopranos action figure line might look like. That quickly turns into a group counseling session, as Jon confronts a full-blown collecting crisis that has him questioning priorities, shelf space, and whether “retirement” from collecting is even possible.
From there, the show moves into On Deck Collection, where both hosts lock in their next collecting targets. Christian sets his sights on assembling a Toy Biz Lord of the Rings collection, while Jon zeroes in on completing Kenner Terminator 2 Series 1, including the elusive Bio-Flesh Regenerator.
The episode then hits Action Figure News of the Week, with discussion around the newly released Masters of the Universe movie trailer and fresh reveals, including MAFEX Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent.
To close things out, Jon and Christian put their turtle knowledge to the test with an OG Playmates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles quiz, digging deep into vintage TMNT history and seeing how much still holds up under pressure.
It’s an episode full of humor, honesty, nostalgia, and collector reality—equal parts therapy session, toy talk, and trivia night.
