Mighty Champions: Action Figure Radio
Mighty Champions: Action Figure Radio is a weekly podcast for action figure collectors who never really stopped playing.
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.
New episodes every week.

Toy Store Time Machine & Online vs In the Wild

On Episode 51 we dive into one of the biggest questions in modern collecting: Online vs. In The Wild. We discuss when the story of the toy hunt becomes more important than the action figure itself, whether finding a grail at a toy store beats having it delivered to your front door, and how the internet has changed the collecting experience forever.
As always, we cover the latest action figure news, including a massive week for G.I. Joe Classified, the SDCC WWE Rock ’N Wrestling 3-Pack, Jada Toys’ new Street Fighter II Ultra “You Lose” accessories pack, Mezco Punisher, and more.
Finally, we fire up Toy Store Time Machine, where a random year is selected, and we each have just $25 to spend on action figures from that era. Which toys make the cut, which get left on the shelf, and how far does twenty-five bucks really go?
From toy hunts and nostalgia to Marvel, WWE, G.I. Joe, TMNT, Street Fighter, and action figure collecting, Episode 51 is packed with the conversations only collectors have.
