Hello. A lot of u seemed to dig my first FROM THE VAULT review so here is my second installment. Also, if you want me to review an old BCA or TTL I am open to requests so post a request w/ your reply and if I have it (I likely do) I'll review it.
MICK FOLEY’S TRIPLE THREAT w/ Cactus, Dude and Mankind
Review: This pack was the third pack JAKKS ever made to have three of one wrestler (after a pack w/ three Austins and one w/ three Takers). It was very cool cause it was the first time we saw a Cactus Jack figure and had all of Foley’s personalities in one box.
Mankind: This is simply a Slammers Mankind. For those of you who don’t remember or know, Slammers was a BCA series except the figures all had “actions” they would perform if you pushed a lever or pressed a button. I’m not sure why they didn’t just put a regular BCA Mankind in here, but we got the Slammer … pretty good figure.
Dude Love: This is a Slammers Dude Love. Dude Love was only released in BCA form as a Slammer figure so it made more sense than the Mankind figure did. Very cool figure. Again with custom made parts just for Dude Love figures from head-to-toe. The shirt looked great and so did the face.
Cactus Jack: Ah, this would be the first ever JAKKS Cactus Jack figure released and it is great! I think this is one of the best BCA figures. Again, we have a figure where every part is designed only for Cactus Jack figures (Even though the leg mold was later used for some Mankind figures). “Cactus” tights with t-shirt and bang bang fingers. He’s got the scar on his arm, good head mold. Great figure. Very accurate and detailed.
OFF THE MAT four pack w/ Austin, Rock and the Outlaws
Review: This was a very different pack. The theme was that all of the figures were supposed to be in “off the mat” attire (even though Road Dogg was wearing his ring attire). All of the figures also featured completely new sculpts from head-to-toe as well as exclusive belts that were only released with this pack.
Austin: Very cool figure. The headscan is great and the vest was the most accurate Austin vest to date. He had his Texas tattoo on his calf and detailed short jeans. With this set JAKKS aimed for realism and turned away from the cartoony look of most of their BCA’s.
Rock: The headscan is kind of lame in my opinion. I just don’t think it looks like him. Everything else is good though. They created a khaki mold for him that looked good and the vest was decent enough. They included his tattoo even if it did look like it was drawn badly.
Billy Gunn: Very cool figure. I really like the headmold and the DX shirt is ace. The only thing a little weird is that the leg mold is a repainted HHH (blue blood era) set of legs made to look like jeans. It actually doesn’t look bad though.
RD: Very cool figure as well. The headmold looks nothing like him, but the rest of the figure is spot on, including all tattoos. The leg designs were very detailed and accurate as well.
All in all, this was a pretty cool pack and it was neat to see a different spin on BCA style figures. It didn’t last though because as time went on, the cartoony look continued. The belts are awesome. I love all of the attitude era belts and these belts are very detailed, including all the multi-colored straps and detailing on the gold themselves
