This week’s episode is a stacked blister card of nostalgia, absurdity, and collector confessions.

🎯 We kick things off with Weekly Purchases and a surprising twist: Jon has a change of heart about The Batman Part II. Find out what changed his mind.

🪖 Then we debut our new listener segment, Toy Soldier Figure Flashback, where a Toy Soldier from the audience gives their childhood favorite long-overdue spotlight.

🔫 The main event? A deep dive into the gloriously insane era when R-rated movies got full-blown kids toy lines. From Rambo’s grenade launchers to Terminator’s Bio-Flesh Regenerator, we cover the most iconic and questionable figures from:

• Rambo: The Force of Freedom
• Terminator 2
• Robocop and the Ultra Police
• Aliens & Predator
• Toxic Crusaders
• Police Academy
• Conan the Barbarian

📰 In The News, we cover all the major updates from the big toy companies—what’s coming, what’s delayed, and what’s surprising the community.

🦖 Finally, in On Deck Collections, Christian is hunting down original Kenner Jurassic Park, and Jon comes to a bold realization about just how foundational 1988 Playmates TMNT is to who he is as a person.

If you grew up sneaking action movies you weren’t allowed to watch, but proudly owned the figures—you’ll feel right at home.

What makes the perfect vintage toy store? In this episode of Mighty Champions Action Figure Radio, Jon and Christian break down the do’s, don’ts, and dream features of an ideal collector’s paradise. From the right balance of vintage vs. modern stock, to fair pricing, to a billion-dollar idea involving adult sleepovers, N64, pizza rolls, and loose figures you can actually play with! We cover it all.

Then we count down our Top 10 Action Figures That Don’t Exist but absolutely should.

Jon’s list includes NWO Monday Night War WWE Elites, NECA Ultimates, Rocky, Die Hard, WWF Hasbros and of course Spider-Man Animated Series

Christian brings his own heat with never-made Toy Biz Marvel Legends and DC Universe Classics figures — including Brood army builders, missing JLA heavy-hitters, and X-Men deep cuts.

Whether you’re a wrestling completist, a Marvel Legends diehard, or a vintage toy hunter, this one will have you arguing with our picks, imagining your dream store, and maybe… booking your first adult toy store sleepover.
