well for faarooq and bradshaw would needed new sculpts which they did make but never release. I saw some photos of them and a kurt angle. I hated when they quit making bca and i was atleast 13 maybe. I still remember getting some of the last wave at walmart.

I don't know if I've ever seen images of a new Faarooq sculpt, but here's Bradshaw's unreleased head sculpt. There were Acolyte figures planned for the newer BCA style line but they were canceled; however, there are prototypes that exist for each of them. Are these what you were talking about? A BCA Angle was shown at Toy Fair 2001 for the display of upcoming newer BCA figures, but Jakks switched from the old BCA mold to the newer one by the time of its release. Or this Real Scan Jericho head on the DTA Tour Series 3 Triple H body for the Stunt Action Superstars display (which literally makes no sense). And there was an Austin repaint shown with the newer figures, too. So, if Jakks could take the time to showcase these older BCA molds with new Real Scan head sculpts, why couldn't they simply release one series of older BCA molds with new Real Scan sculpts? Instead, they went in a completely different direction with all-new, leaner, taller sculpts and wrote off the original BCA figures for good in 2001.

All are legit Jakks releases, believe it or not, as that is a photo of mine.
Many of the later Backlash series releases were updated versions of the wrestlers, circa-2000/2001. Taker's figures all have smaller torsos and don't quite look right, but they are for real.

Then the what looks to be shirtless Taker with light brown hair looks odd. Which series is the first Taker from?

Backlash Series 5 (with a great Al Snow repaint) - Backlash Series 3 (with my favorite BCA Edge) - Signature Series 6 (which has insane detail for it being the last "official" BCA series) - There's a similar 'Taker in Backlash Series 4 as the Series 5 one which has a black vest, black jeans, and the same dark tattoos all over his arms.

Hardcore Holly, Mankind, Stone Cold, Triple H, and Vince McMahon. bonecrunchingaction.com/?page_id=565Slappy lol It was, truthfully, a hit-or-miss series.

Chicago, who came with Chainz in the tag set?? Was it 8-Ball or Skull?? And did a singles one ever get released of the other Harris brother then to have all 3 members of DOA??

Chainz and 8-Ball were released together in 2 Tuff Series 1 and repainted later for DTA Tour Series 1; Skull's only figure was a repaint of the existing 8-Ball in the Best of '98 singles series which was exclusive to TRU stores. 8-Ball's 2 Tuff Series 1 figure was re-released in that same series, and one easy way to tell them apart as loose figures is to identify Skull by his white undershirt; 8-Ball's shirt is black, by the way.

Edge is from Backlash Series 3.
Road to WrestleMania was a newer BCA style series featuring Chris Benoit, Bubba Ray Dudley, D-Von Dudley, Chris Jericho, Jeff Hardy, and The Undertaker. I've got Benoit and the Dudleys.
And I love that simple fix-up of Hollywood Hogan. Which reminds me, I'd also like to have a Razor without the molded vest torso, but would anyone know how to crack it?

Was Razor Ramon much fun to play with then since he had that molded on vest?? I never ever got Diesel or Razor Ramon, actually I don't even think I ever seen Series 1 in stores. I only saw series 2 on.
Also Chicago, why was Goldust and Diesel brought back out in Series 3 but wasn't mentioned on the back of the carding?? And why no Series 3 re-release of Razor??

I took the legs off and use the legs of like shane mcmahons and he is great. but the legs of hardy is also usful for a khali custom. I never did see a bubba bca version before, not even on ebay. hogan is made up of Undertaker series 1 legs, austin body and arms and the head of a r3 hogan. a custom of a razor no vest, id use an early hbk body and just replace the legs, arms and head to it. would probably do a better razers edge too. also was looking at some of my bca bodies, also the 2nd version of mark mero with the boxer shorts would work well.

Because I have it, and don't remember ever getting any "Backlash" figures.

I only saw series 2 on. Also Chicago, why was Goldust and Diesel brought back out in Series 3 but wasn't mentioned on the back of the carding?? And why no Series 3 re-release of Razor?? Honestly, I was the same as you; I never owned Razor or Diesel as a kid. I could never find them in stores, nor do I remember ever seeing them at all in person until I bought a MOC Razor on eBay back in '07. On that same note, I don't fully know why Diesel and Goldust were re-issued in a second wave of the Series 3 figures. If you remember, Series 1 Shawn and Bret were re-released, too, so my only guess would be that Jakks had planned to release those figures a certain number of times (maybe somewhere in a contract) and went through with it. It was odd that Razor wasn't included, but what's weirder is that Goldust was technically repainted since the colors were more crisp and a black outline was added to it. In fact, it's probably my favorite BCA Goldust. Again, I'll try to look into that for a legitimate explanation. To Chip: Are you sure you're not thinking of Edge's Deadly Games Series figure in blue attire? Compare the two and make sure, because this particular Edge was only available in the KB Exclusive Backlash Series 3 assortment.
