Remco was making wrestling figures with cloth entrance gear and 6pts of articulation in 1985. Let that sink in.
WWE didn't pull that off until sometime in the late 90's when Bone Crunching figures started getting cloth shirts (like the awesome Stone Cold box set)

Wow man thanks! I legit never knew either of these existed, especially Hogan as I thought the BCA line was dead by around 99 Yeah, the original BCA line was phased out by the end of '99, but Jakks started over with new taller and leaner sculpts from 2001 to 2004. I wrote a little bit about the figures here and I have them added to the end of my BCA checklist under "New 7" BCA Style Figures". Awesome read. I don't know why but I'm fascinated by this haha. Those first few lines of the BCA's are possibly by all time favorites. That blue Warrior is hands down my most nostalgic figure (and record holding champion hahaha), so to see these, especially Hogan have me pumped. I think I'm gonna try and find that hogan on ebay

Awesome list. I'm gonna disagree with bend'ems as a main line although I liked them. Did you know that Hulk Hogan is the only wrestler to have a figure in all of the major figure types. LJN, Hasbro, BCA, TTL, R3, Ruthless Aggression, Deluxe Aggression, Mattle Basic, and Elite? Hogan had a BCA? He actually did have a bca. Under the backlash line, when Jakks was already making ra I think. They all had the same mold pretty much. I have a Higan, angle, Jericho and booker t.

I think those later BCA's were exclusive to KB Toys. I never did see the Hogan one though. I have a ton of BCA's. When they switched to TTL I stopped collecting though I did grab a few of the early ones. Those were actually the last figures I collected until I picked up again with Mattel.

Can someone show me pics of these Hogan and Slaughter BCA's? Hogan is from Backlash Series 2 (Released June 2003), and Sgt. Slaughter is from Ringside Collection Series 2 (Released October 1998). haha ok i do remember seeing these now when i was a kid, thinking they were cheap knock-offs at kb-toys since i was collecting RA at the time. Had no idea it was a revival of BCA. Since im an articulation guy i had zero interest in these. I remember seeing a ton of Benoit too

Those BCA figures are really really bad and i thought they were a step down from the Hasbro line. All figures are the same hight Hbk and taker stand nose to nose.
