This week on Mighty Champions Action Figure Radio, we dig up the forgotten, the unloved, and the ahead-of-their-time. First, we explore ten action figure lines that barely made it out of the toy aisle in their heyday — only to become grail-tier legends in today’s aftermarket. From chrome-plated SilverHawks to die-cast Bionic Six vans, we break down exactly why these flops became fire.
Then it’s time for "Failure to Launch" — a look at toy lines that had everything going for them (cartoons, licenses, hype) but somehow still missed the mark. We’re talking SWAT Kats, Jackie Chan Adventures, James Bond Jr., POGS and more. We share what worked, what didn’t, and why these launches stalled out despite the best intentions.
