Descripción

We’re back after a week off, catching up on the (lack of) toy finds while we were away and answering your listener questions from Instagram (@mightychampions). Then we introduce a new segment, Respect, but Don’t Collect, where we break down the toy lines we admire but don’t personally collect, including The Simpsons, McFarlane DC Multiverse, Aliens, NECA Horror, and Street Fighter 2 Ultra. From there, it’s a big week in Star Wars toy and collectables news with updates across Black Series, Vintage Collection, and Retro Collection. We close it out by celebrating May the 4th with the Top 10 Star Wars figures, a definitive, debate-worthy list for collectors. Christian also tells a childhood story about buying and wearing a used Obi-Wan Kenobi rat tail that you HAVE to hear. May the force be with you.

The Action Figure Hall of Fame

On Episode 50 of Mighty Champions: Action Figure Radio, we celebrate our 1-year anniversary with our first-ever Action Figure Hall of Fame.  We kick things off with our hauls from Chemical Toy Fair in Austin, TX, where Christian scored an awesome 1998 Godzilla and Jon completed the BK Kids Club TMNT VHS set, plus found a grail that just happens to be up for Hall of Fame induction, and Christian shares some childhood trauma from Taekwondo class. Then we reveal our personal Hall of Fame picks, pure heart-over-head selections, that represent who we are as collectors and how we got here.  As always, we cover the latest action figure news, including WWE Ringside Collectibles exclusive reveals, McFarlane Sports Legends, and more.  Finally, the main event: using the fan vote from Instagram, we discuss and induct winners across superhero figures, wrestling figures, movie/TV figures, vehicles, and miscellaneous toys into the prestigious Mighty Champions Action Figure Hall of Fame.  This one gets personal, analytical, nostalgic, and celebratory.

On Episode 48, we catch up on a week of toy hunting highs and lows as Christian breaks down his latest antique mall haul while Jon recounts a full week of Walmart WWE exclusive hunting disappointment.

Joe universe. As always, we bring you the latest action figure news from across the collecting world, including new reveals, pre-orders, and major updates. Then we close things out with our Top 10 Toys to Play With Outside, which sparks some hilarious and deeply nostalgic stories about Super Soakers, Slip N Slides, GI Joes, cap guns, dirty backyard chaos, and the toys that defined childhood summers.
