• Toy Collector Q&A | Best Figures, Worst Figures, Grails & Toy News
    Aug 17 2026

    On this week’s episode of Mighty Champions: Action Figure Radio, it’s all about Q&A, toy collecting, action figures, and the collector life.

    We kick things off with a major toy room makeover after Jon tore down his sports displays and added two IKEA Billy bookcases, creating a ton of new shelf space for Marvel Legends, wrestling figures, vintage toys, and everything else that somehow keeps multiplying.

    Then we dive into a full round of listener Q&A, answering questions about modern and vintage action figures, the most we’ve ever spent on a toy, figures we still need, the best and worst figures we own, wrestling collectibles, Marvel, collecting regrets, grails, and plenty more.

    After that, we break down the latest action figure news, including new McFarlane DC Multiverse reveals, Mondo Street Sharks, The Tick, and other major toy announcements from the week.

    Finally, we return to the Toy Soldiers for another round of questions, this time moving beyond toys into music, movies, road trips, podcast expenses, and the kind of nonsense that probably reveals way too much about us.

    If you’re into Marvel Legends, WWE action figures, DC Multiverse, vintage toys, toy room displays, collecting, wrestling figures, 80s and 90s nostalgia, and action figure news, this one is for you.

    Aug 10 2026

    On this week’s episode of Mighty Champions: Action Figure Radio, we’re counting down our favorite Green Lantern action figures just in time for DC’s upcoming Lanterns series, premiering August 16 on HBO Max. We dig into figures from DC Universe Classics, DC Direct, McFarlane DC Multiverse, and more as we try to answer one question: who is the definitive Green Lantern character and which figure takes the #1 spot?

    Then we break down the biggest action figure news of the week, including the new McFarlane Harley Quinn figure, Ringside Collectibles’ Unsanctioned Tommy Dreamer, the return of Skeleton Warriors, Mondo Doctor Fate, and the record-setting collectibles hitting the auction block at Hake’s.

    Finally, we debut Definitive Version Draw, where we surprise each other with characters who have decades of iconic looks and are forced to choose just one definitive version then pick the action figure that represents that version best. Ultimate Warrior, Wolverine, Batman, Predator, Michelangelo, Aquaman, Green Ranger and, somehow, James Bond Jr. are all on the table.

    If you collect Green Lantern, DC action figures, Marvel Legends, WWE figures, TMNT, Power Rangers, Predator, or just love arguing about which version of a character is truly definitive, this one’s for you.

  • Action Figure Shrines vs One & Done Collecting
    Jul 13 2026

    This week on Mighty Champions: Action Figure Radio, Jon makes the biggest sale of his collecting career, saying goodbye to his entire GI Joe Classified collection along with select Marvel Legends and WWE figures. Why sell? What changed? And what does it feel like watching years of collecting leave all at once?

    Then we debut a brand-new segment as we build our ultimate collector shrines. Jon assembles the foundation of an Incredible Hulk display, complete with live eBay purchases made during the show, while Christian breaks down the essential pieces for a 1998 Godzilla shrine. From action figures and VHS tapes to magazines, memorabilia, and grail items, we discuss what belongs, what doesn’t, and why.

    Of course, we cover the biggest action figure news of the week, including major DC Multiverse reveals from McFarlane Toys, Mondo’s San Diego Comic-Con Real Ghostbusters and TMNT announcements, plus a look at the incredible prices collectors paid at the latest Hake’s Auctions.

    Finally, Christian turns the tables and interrogates Jon’s entire collecting philosophy. Why is he obsessed with owning just one version of every character? How can someone have rigid collecting rules and still buy impulsively? And where is the line between an impressive display and pure clutter?

    Whether you’re into Marvel Legends, GI Joe Classified, DC Multiverse, TMNT, Godzilla, wrestling figures, or just the psychology behind collecting, this episode has something for every toy fan.

    Today, we recount the most expensive toy hunting trip we’ve ever taken. What started as a visit to Retromania in Dripping Springs, Texas, quickly turned into a full-blown toy odyssey. After scoring incredible hauls at the show, we still weren’t satisfied, so we made a two-hour detour to two more toy stores in San Antonio, leading to even more major purchases. We break down the entire adventure, the stories behind the finds, and every action figure we brought home.

    Then we dive into a collector discussion about toy stores and toy shows, sharing our thoughts on what sellers do that keeps collectors coming back—and the things we’d love to see changed.
