Probably didn’t want the trunks to look so much like Speedos or underwear riding up his thighs. Yeah but that’s how all BCA trunks were. It only looked speedo-ish on the Ahmed body because of how thick the thighs were (which actually worked for Ahmed, but not so much for Shamrock or Austin). Can confirm that it was particularly bad with this figure. I supported the idea of painting the thigh but didn’t realize it would have come out looking like bikers.

I think the trunks look better after the change. To me, BCA bikers are Owen Hart length, which these aren’t.

FC posted a preview of the 1/200 variant Macho sticker earlier today: Duane Gill, Macho Man (x2), and James Mitchell (x3) are all expected in stock shortly.

I like them but I’m not collecting the BCAs, just too much stuff. But I liked Gilberg without the paint on the legs

I would just say that for those on the fence, consider the fact that these will likely never be attempted again. If you’re a fan of the BCA style and want to fill in those gaps during your lifetime, this line is your best bet for doing so. Unless you have a good customizer on call, which still won’t be the same. Yes, you’re going to pay more for one than you would an entire series “back in the day…”, but you’re supporting a small business and contributing to something that most would have never deemed possible just a few short years ago. Despite the flaws early on, I believe this is a project worth pursuing, and that better days are ahead.

Action Figure Cellar got their shipment in earlier than expected, so collectors in the UK should expect to receive their orders any day now. Here are some pics: x.com/PlanetJDizzle88/status/1788981498294489538James said the glasses were included in the package. Hopefully, this is an isolated incident. Especially for all the MOC collectors. x.com/PlanetJDizzle88/status/1788993023822430509Figure Collections hasn’t sent out any shipping notifications yet, but I’ll update when I receive mine.

Love the short haired Jeff, that looks really good as does the Sinister Minister. I think I agree with a previous comment about the Gillberg, the BCA's were very cartoonish at times and these are meant to fit in with them so I have no problem with them going for a true to form on some of them. In my opinion there hasn't been one I've disliked yet, so I guess they're winning with me.

They all look great. I hope we can get Macho in a WWF attire from '94 at some point. As cool as the WCW looks are, I’m only collecting guys that would have fit in with the original line (or come close timeline wise within a couple of years).

In my opinion there hasn't been one I've disliked yet, so I guess they're winning with me. Yeah, I think FC has succeeded at mimicking “the BCA style.” Whatever that means lol. Jakks wasn’t even consistent with it in their time, as the shapes and sizes of the sculpts quite literally changed from one character to the next. Some likenesses were better than others, but for the most part it was a crapshoot. FC has benefited from not having major personnel changes thus far. As long as the core stays on and is committed to the cause, this new BCW style should be consistent throughout. They all look great. I hope we can get Macho in a WWF attire from '94 at some point. As cool as the WCW looks are, I’m only collecting guys that would have fit in with the original line (or come close timeline wise within a couple of years). That would be awesome. If FC is able to work with Savage’s estate beyond these two figures, I would be game for whatever. Just to be able to have him in this form is a privilege. Threw down for both machos, gillberg, blue bomb and pink ultimo set. Pumped to receive these. Wow, that’s a sizable order! Congrats on going for it. It’s a great feeling when you finally have these in hand. I got my shipping notification from FC for both Savages and Gill. Should be able to post pics by mid week.
