The BCA line ended a series or two before Mideon would’ve been included. Right towards the end, they added the likes of Godfather, Bossman and Viscera, but then the switch to TTL happened so no Mideon or Acolytes. If BCA had lasted a little longer, the Ministry of Darkness would’ve been completed. I think the point is that Mideon and the Acolytes could have been included. Dennis Knight became Mideon a few weeks before Mabel/Viscera returned. And the Acolytes debuted a couple months before that. So late 1998-early 1999 definitely falls under "stuff that could have been made." There aren’t 200 wrestlers in every series though. Owen Hart, British Bulldog, Ahmed Johnson, Jerry Lawler, 123 Kid, Yokozuna, Paul Bearer, Hunter Hearst Helmsley and SAVIO Vega “could’ve” been made in Superstars series 1. They weren’t, because there were bigger priorities. But they got round to them eventually. |

A matching set of Crash Holly (with ballcap) and Hardcore Holly would be insane to me. Huge want.

Well the problem was this era was like right before Jakks made the switch to the RA style figures and started pumping out a ton of characters. This was during the time when they were doing Titan Tron Live figures and they weren't really releasing a lot of lines. So a lot of the lower tier guys from that era weren't going to get figures made (Crash Holly did get a decent looking TTL figure) and they weren't really good enough for Mattel to go back and make even if they had the rights to. Once the RA line really kicked into gear, they pretty much made every character on the roster and that trend kind of continues today where they make a ton of characters. It wasn't like that during the TTL days unfortunately.

It wasn't like that during the TTL days unfortunately. You completely skipped over the R3 Tech line. That was between TTL and RA. Which was really during the initial WWE Draft run and the very end of the Attitude Era. RA came in more towards the actual Ruthless Aggression Era. Where stars like Lesnar, Orton, Batista and Cena were starting to be made. |

That was only around for a year so they didn't really make that many of them, let alone anyone lower in the card. I freaking loved those figures though. They hold up really well, I still have all of mine and don't want to get rid of them cause they look so cool! |

The way I always saw it.
Hasbro - Golden Era/Beginning of New Generation Era
BCA - End of New Generation Era/Beginning of Attitude Era
TTL - Attitude Era
R3 - End of Attitude Era
RA - Ruthless Agression Era
So I feel if we were going to get a lot of these talents, they would’ve been within the TTL or R3 Tech lines. As stated, JAKKS focused on the stars at that point.
