On this week's episode of Mighty Champions: Action Figure Radio, we're celebrating birthdays, confronting childhood trauma, and crowning the ultimate martial arts action figure!

We kick things off with Christian's birthday plans, which involve flying to South Carolina specifically to visit Toy Federation instead of taking a normal vacation. Meanwhile, Jon reveals a major toy room makeover to make space for his On Deck Collection, and we discuss the theatrical rerelease of Avengers: Endgame.

Then it's time for Exposure Therapy! Christian, the self-proclaimed Toy Biz Disciple, finally confronts his childhood nightmare: the Hasbro Marvel Legends Blob Build-A-Figure wave. After years of worshipping Toy Biz Marvel Legends, he takes his first detailed look at the wave that marked Hasbro's takeover. Has time healed the wounds, or is the trauma still real?

Next, we break down the latest action figure news, including McFarlane DC Multiverse Orion and Darkseid, WWE Legends arriving at Target, and Jada Toys' Player 2 Balrog from Ultra Street Fighter II.

Finally, it's the inaugural Mighty Champions Action Figure Karate Tournament! Sixteen martial arts-themed action figures from TMNT, GI Joe, X-Men, MMPR, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Batman, and more enter a single-elimination bracket to determine the ultimate karate action figure. From vintage martial arts gimmicks to modern articulated masterpieces, we're judging the figures themselves: their designs, accessories, action features, articulation, and overall martial arts execution. Who will win?
