About a year ago i had the chance to buy the 4 pack of the Nation for $10.00 but i was so wrapped up in building up my CS collection that i diden't buy it.
Were there only two Gangrel figures? I know about the one that came in the Road Rage series were he had the light purple knee pads and the other one that came in a Superstar Series. It had black pants if i remember right.
I remember hearing about a series called Bloodlines. It was suppost to take over for the S.T.O.M.P series but was never released because some people thought it was to violent for kids. Who eles was suppost to be in this set besides Gangrel?

hey, i have a figure like that toyfare big show? was one like that ever mass released, i was just lucky to pick a loose one up? and is it worth anything at all? Yours might be the same as the exclusive figure if it has blue jeans and tan/khaki boots, but none of Show's BCA figures are worth any more than the average BCA figure (under $5 MOC, no more than $2-3 loose). |

Series 5 with TTL figures but it was canceled for the reasons you stated. It was released under the Super Stunners series name, but they were changed to just regular TTL figures that came with a bunch of weapons each and could glow in the dark. These were the prototypes for Bloodlines -  Christian is the top figure in white, Gangrel the bottom one. |

Chicago I love that tote with all the weapons. There was an awesome variety of weapons and accessories that came with BCA figures.

I wish they would have made the Undertaker and Gangrel from the Bloodline series. I am still trying to hunt down the figures i need to finish my BCA collection.

I cant believe I didnt see this sooner. I Love my BCA's!! I never went on and left them behind to the newer stuff. Nothing out there today compares to a BCA! Ive even done some BCA customs of newer and some older wrestlers including from wcw and ecw. Since the monster ring, I have updated to the ring scale ring. of course my announce team is good ole JR and The King at their legendary announce table. I still use the old announce table from the bca line for the bell and also have a custon tazz as an announcer. Ive pretty much have one of ever figure of each wrestler made. was never for having 10 repaints of one figure. so thats pretty much ive gotta say right now. I will post some pictures later on. long live the bone crushing actions! Hey, whatever comes to mind, let us know.  It's nice to see new visitors, and everyone is encouraged to ask/talk about anything you want as it relates to the BCA line. Favorite/least favorite aspects? I posted a questionnaire of about 20 questions several pages back for those that weren't aware. And Sid's head sculpt is definitely...something lol. I wouldn't call it one of the best, but he'd be a legit starter on the All Creepers team.  |

The Grapple Gear pack was awesome. I used to have all of them. My favorite was the Casket pack. I still have the Casket loose around here somewhere.
I still use the Dumpster now to hold all of my loose change.
Did anyone on here ever get the BCA collector poster? I am not sure if i still have mine or not. There is an error on the poster. Under the Mosh figure it says Thrasher and under the Thrasher figure it says Mosh. Or at least mine did.

hahaha Man, I would love to have a giant poster of Grapple Gear 2 just for Shamrock's face as he has one leg up holding that crutch.
I have to admit though that I forgot how bad Series 4 Triple H was. When they made the new head for him and put him on a bigger body it really improved him. And in a weird twist, I never pushed the Series 4 Triple H, he was European Champion at best, but as soon as I got that Tag set of him and HBK together where he has on those weird neon bluish green pants I pushed him right to the IC and WWF Title's so fast.
It really is weird how a figure just by the way it's made can influence who does what in your 'federation.'

I use the dumpster to store weapons in. too bad they dont make grapple gear like they did for bca. The only ones i have problems with is big boss man, christian, and gangrel. would love to find a creative remake for big boss man, but i have changed christians head with a backlash al snow and gangrel with some random parts to make them playable.
and yes a figure just by the way it's made can influence what they do in your 'federation.'

Yeah, Boss Man needed to be broken in, and Christian should have had a smaller shirted torso. But, Gangrel and Christian's legs weren't awful, just something you had to work around unless you could swap parts. They never really bothered me, but stiff joints definitely make the parts feel 10x worse.
Now, you could never in a million years convince me to push Savio or The Sultan.
Damn I hate those figures lol.

well the shirts of christian and gangrel limited alot of moves from them involving their legs. savio is best as a manager and the sultan, i never got him didnt really like him too much. the thing with boss man, his sculpt didnt fit in too well with the others. maybe its just me idk.

Boss Man works better as an enforcer/bodyguard/security type in a fed because of his limited movement.
He just seems so constricted and isn't loose or open like most general BCA molds. It's still a great looking figure, no doubt about it. I would consider him to be one of the best likenesses in the BCA line.

Gangrel's legs were actually Triple H's weren't they?? The 2nd Triple H mold I mean. Cause I think on the inside of Gangrel's legs you can see the same pattern that Triple H had for his too.
I actually like Gangrel's figure. Christian's I didn't care too much for but I had to have him for The Brood. I believe he had legs that you would find on Faarooq, or D'Lo Brown style figures.
Christian was only used in European Title matches or Tag Title matches with Gangrel or Edge, depending the program I had going at the time.

gangrels and christians legs are pretty much the same, i have them around here somewhere. there are more like a mick foley legs in his corperate attire and cactus jack. d-lo brown was a repaint of vader with a new head. I wish they released the new faarooq, but he does a great dominator.

Two of the biggest travesties (lol okay, it's not that serious) were Faarooq and Bradshaw not having updated repaints even prior to their Acolyte days.
I would have bought a post-NOD Faarooq from when he teamed with Scorpio and a larger Bradshaw mold in black trunks from after his heel turn on Terry Funk. Of course, they would have sold better as The Acolytes (which I would have instantly bought), but anything would be better than nothing at all.
