About this listen

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.


New episodes every week.

  • Build-A-GI Joe & Toy Line Resurrection (Legendary Comic Book Heroes & Starting Lineup)

    Build-A-GI Joe & Toy Line Resurrection (Legendary Comic Book Heroes & Starting Lineup)
    Apr 13 2026

    On this episode of Mighty Champions: Action Figure Radio, we kick things off with some serious toy hunting stories. Christian takes a gamble with an Easter Sunday road trip to Eckman’s Books & Collectables. Did it pay off? Meanwhile, Jon makes an early exit from a Dallas work event because Dallas Vintage Toys was calling… and it leads to a legendary haul that absolutely delivers.

    From there, we dive into Toy Line Resurrection, where we fantasy book the return of two fan-favorite lines: Marvel Toys’ Legendary Comic Book Heroes and Starting Lineup. What would they look like today? Who makes them? And would they actually work in the current market?

    To close it out, we roll into one of our most creative segments yet, Build-A-GI Joe. We each create our own G.I. Joe Classified-style figure from the ground up, complete with name, specialty, look, loadout, and full file card backstory. These are the kinds of figures that feel like they should already exist.

    Toy hunts, dream lines, and custom creations! Episode 42 is loaded!

  • The Order and Chaos of Batman: The Animated Series 90's Toy Line (Kenner)

    The Order and Chaos of Batman: The Animated Series 90's Toy Line (Kenner)
    Apr 6 2026

    This week is all about Kenner Batman: The Animated Series action figures (1992–2002), one of the most iconic 90s toy lines ever made.

    We kick things off with our weekly purchases, including some fun eBay pickups, then we dive into “The Order” of BTAS, breaking down the first four waves figure-by-figure, covering the essential releases, Rogue's Gallery, hidden gems, and early signs of where the line would go.

    After that, we hit the latest action figure news, including major updates from McFarlane DC Multiverse Supergirl, Mortal Kombat Klassics, and more.

    Then we finish with “The Chaos” of BTAS, exploring everything that made this line legendary and insane:

    Whacky play features, Adventures of Batman & Robin, The New Batman Adventures, Mask of the Phantasm, Crime Squad, Duo Force, re-releases, wild Batman variants, Character debuts, and the full evolution from Kenner to Hasbro to Mattel.

    If you collect vintage Batman action figures, DC Multiverse, Kenner toys, or 90s animated series lines, this is a must-listen.
