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.

Episode 34 – Monster High, John Wick, and A24 Action Figures
With Christian on special assignment at Dallas Vintage Toys, Jon is joined by special guest Katie Neuman for a packed and wide-ranging episode.
The show kicks off with Katie’s collecting origin story, from growing up with Polly Pocket and dolls to her current obsessions with Star Wars, wrestling figures, The Princess Bride, and Japanese blind box Smiski collectibles, plus her legendary dislike of Funko Pops, which once inspired a full PowerPoint presentation.
Next, it’s time for the Trust Scale, where Katie breaks down the world of Monster High for Jon, and Jon shares his thoughts on the uncertain future of AEW Jazwares in the wrestling figure space.
From there, the crew dives into a massive New York Toy Fair news roundup, covering reveals and updates from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, McFarlane Toys, G.I. Joe, Marvel Legends Secret Wars, Star Wars, and more.
The episode wraps up with Turn a Movie Into a Toy Line, as Jon dreams up a fully supported John Wick action figure line, while Katie pitches her vision for A24 movie figures made specifically for “nerd boys.”
A fresh voice, big opinions, major toy news, and some of the most creative toy line pitches yet!
