On this week’s episode of Mighty Champions: Action Figure Radio, we kick things off with our latest toy hunting pickups and a retro review of Transformers: The Movie after its theatrical re-release.

Then it’s time for the DC Universe Classics Draft. We flip a coin for the first pick and work our way through all 20 Build-A-Figure waves of Mattel DCUC, with one brutal rule: each of us can only take one figure from every wave. Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, villains, deep cuts, and some painful choices make this one of our most competitive toy segments yet.

Next, we break down the latest modern action figure news, including new McFarlane DC Multiverse pre-orders like Absolute Batman, Target’s Geek Out event, InArt Joker, and new speculation surrounding the release date of Mattel’s upcoming DC collector figure line.

Finally, we tackle What Makes a Great Toy Store? We discuss the things the best toy shops do right, like fresh inventory, fair pricing, accessible product, atmosphere, music, knowledgeable staff, and a real sense of community. Plus, what modern toy and comic shops could learn from the stores we grew up with.

If you collect DC Universe Classics, McFarlane DC Multiverse, Transformers, Batman, Superman, vintage toys, modern action figures, or just miss the feeling of a great old-school toy store, this episode is packed with toy talk, nostalgia, news, and collector debate.
