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 36: Mortal Kombat Rankings & Toy Store Time Machine
On this episode of Mighty Champions: Action Figure Radio, we kick things off by catching up on the week in toy hunting, including Jon’s battle with Walmart over the NECA 35th Anniversary TMNT Ultimates, a convention grail find, and a live unboxing and reaction to the brand-new Marvel Legends Abomination from the Incredible Hulk line.
From there, we dive deep into nostalgia and rank every single classic vintage Hasbro Mortal Kombat action figure, breaking down the hits, the misses, and which ones actually hold up today.
Next up is the freshest action figure news, including a ton of WWE Elite and Ultimate pre-orders and everything collectors need to know before their wallets take another hit.
In the main event, we debut Toy Store Time Machine, a new game where each of us draws a random year between 1977 (Kenner Star Wars) and today, then attempts to spend $100 in that year. What do you buy? What do you leave behind? And how far does $100 really go, depending on the era?
If you’ve ever wished you could walk back into a toy aisle from your childhood with $100 in your pocket… this one’s for you.
Toys talked: Batman, GI Joe, Wrestling figures, Marvel, Terminator 2, and more
