Slight correction: Undertaker and Goldust both came with accessories in Superstars Series 1 ('Taker's hat, Goldust's wig). It's also worth mentioning that your Razor Ramon has a Bret Hart left arm. Here's the link to ellisd 's post from last year where he did something similar: forum.wrestlingfigs.com/post/6992551/threadYou did an excellent job comparing the two styles of figures. When I got my Elite Nation of Domination 2-Pack in the mail a few weeks back, I had to catch myself a few times because I thought the Faarooq on my desk was the BCA figure lol. You beat me to the Bret arm! hah I was also planning on doing something similar to this, I was even trying to buy a couple figures to make it happen. Great post! I think some day kids will reflect on their Mattel collections the way people look back on BCAs... Though I'm sure Mattel will retain their values unlike Jakks.

Mind blown. All these years and I never realized my Razor had a Hitman left arm! Were they all like that or just the one I got? No, they weren't all like that, but it is a fairly common error. Quality control was horrendous for Superstars Series 1, but the mishaps are fun to look back on now. Strange question, but does your Jakks Ultimate Warrior have an all-white "W" logo on the back of his trunks?

Didn't this figure come before the Jakks one to qualify as the first Diesel figure? I stand corrected! Bend-Ems came out in 1994 and I believe Jakks started in 1996. Good catch! I only remember, because I used it as an excuse to say "I have a Diesel figure!" When did the Gold Razor/Big Daddy Cool pack come out, was that first for Jakks or like second/third?

Puzzle Zoo first offered the Jakks Razor/Diesel 2-pack in the fall of 1996, but their liquidated stock started showing up in stores like Hills beginning in December 1996.

Chicagothings that stand out. they both got Faarooqs skintone wrong. And both got the color on his singlet wrong. I can't think of what promo pic they both used...that had the designs on Faarooqs singlet as red/yellow/BLUE. When the nation of domination's colors were always red yellow & green. You might want to look up some pictures or videos of Faarooq again.

That's what I meant to say - a Warrior logo. Sorry for any confusion. The reason why I asked is because there is a white logo variant/error out there, but I've only been able to track down five examples of it (credit to 3Lephant (Naptown Icon) for spotting it first). Here's the link to my post from last year: forum.wrestlingfigs.com/post/7342174/thread

Great pics. Even though I wasnt really a fan of heel British Bulldog w/short hair, I would love to see Mattel do a remake of that BCA shown

The Faarooq figure from the NOD 2-pack - that's supposed to be his belt, right, not his scarf? I don't remember him ever wearing a scarf, but he did wear a belt with that outfit. Like in this pic:

Like in this pic: I thought it was a strap to beat people with TBH Seems like a very Nation thing to do. Can't remember from back in the day exactly but I'm going with that I've a scarf or belt LOL

The problem with the belt, though, is that it's just not long enough. I don't know why Mattel made it too short.

Like in this pic: You're right. I display it that way as if he just got done beating someone with it and put it around his neck.
