The BCA Line

Unfortunately, Austin's first figure didn't come until after Roberts was already gone from the WWF in '97, so that probably would not have happened either unless he signed some sort of a Legends contract.

1995 was full of so many jobbers that the line probably would have died before it hit '96 lol. Hakushi, Bob Backlund, and 1-2-3 Kid would have been at the top of my list. Although, there has long been a rumor that the Kid was scheduled for Superstars Series 1 and, since he left for WCW, he was replaced by Goldust and his torso was saved for Owen in Series 2, and then himself (as X-Pac) in Series 7.



I saw that auction for a brief second, but I don't have an interest in buying loose BCA lots and you never can tell with first-time sellers. However, that's a great price for any used lot of figures, let alone that selection.

Hence why it's called a rumor , but I think that pretty much sums up why there is no truth to it.

I was also thinking along the lines of the torso and not so much the rest of the figure. There could have been modifications made to fit the Kid.

Man I wish I had access to all my BCA figures (I think I would make Chicago proud but they are all away in storage). Like I did with all lines, I collected 1 figure for each wrestler made. Some of my favorite figures were Series 4 Austin, Series 2 Owen Hart. Champions box set British Bulldog, Previously pictured Box set Rock. Series 5? Ken Shamrock. Grudge Match Dan Severn and the blue and white Jerry Lawler (cant remember the set think it was with Brian Christopher)

I just got the J.O.B Squad Bob Holly and the Blue Blood Hunter Hearst Helmsley in great condition loose this weekend at the flea market. 6 bucks for both, good buy for me. Insight on either fig?

I wouldn't spend any more than $3 each for loose BCAs if at all possible, so I'd say it was a fair deal.

Does the Holly have a black tanktop? If so, that would be his debut Superstars Series 9 figure.

Helmsley's debut figure with the ponytail and black tights is not a particularly good representation of him in his face or overall size (as the Superstars Series 6 figure would improve upon), but it was all that we had to choose from and could do the job (well, as good as HHH can do a job ).

Post pics if you get the chance.

My gosh, I would have paid the $4.75 just for the Henry Godwinn.

Mattel needs to make a Godwinns two pack.

Oh man, BCA Superlatives? Count me in.


1. Favorite Superstars Series figure? Superstars 2 Owen, Superstars 5 Flash Funk, Superstars 6 Jeff Jarrett. Those stand out immensely.

2. Favorite 2 Tuff Series 2-pack (or Grudge Match/Tag Team Series, if you prefer)? I was most pumped to get the 2-Tuff 2 New Age Outlaws. Tag Teams LOD were great too, though I never had those exact figures. I had the Signature Series and Shotgun Saturday Night and LOD 2000 ones. Loved the Brian Christopher that came in a Grudge Match with Taka, but I was upset about having another Taka.

3. Favorite Slammers Series figure? Patriot BY FAR. Hated Slammers for the most part, I liked the Taka figure but felt he was too big. Dude Love was a decent one too.

4. Favorite Signature Series figure? Signature Series 2 Billy Gunn. I always LOVED his metallic blue tights.

5. Favorite S.T.O.M.P. Series figure? Brian Pillman, but I gotta give a shoutout to Crush too, because I'll never know why but that was my favorite Crush.

6. Favorite Boxed Set (Single figure with accessories, 3 or 4-pack)? 3 Faces of Foley probably, that Cactus ruled. Too bad I already had the Dude and Mankind from the set, so I felt jipped buying a box set for just 1 figure. Either that, or the Championship Belt 4-Pack, with Bulldog Owen Taker and Rocky. That ruled.

7. Favorite debut BCA figure? X-Pac

8. Favorite BCA Staff figure (Manager, Announcer, etc)? LOVED the Referee, he was such a ing pain in the ass to get. Loved the Honky Tonk Man figure too, but I used him as a wrestler haha.

9. Favorite BCA-era wrestling ring? Monster ring, but the Attitude ring RULED when it first came out. A Cage? yeah.

10. Favorite BCA-era accessory for figures (what they wore)? I remember loving Rocky's entrance thing, but I ended up selling it eventually.

11. Favorite BCA-era weapon for figures (what they fight with)? The dumpster was awesome and so hard to get.

12. The one debut BCA figure you wish Jakks had made? I wanted a Blue Meanie figure worse than you could imagine.

13. The one repainted BCA figure you wish Jakks had made? Always wanted a Shawn repaint in his black/green DX tights.

14. Figures (list one or as many as you can remember) that you always wanted but could never find? The only character in the BCA line I never had was the Executioner, and I wanted him SO BAD. But he commended such a high price on ebay that I couldn't afford him.

15. Did you like the stands that came with the BCA figures or would you have rather had actual accessories pertaining to the wrestler? I hated the stands. I remember using them as chairs before they made chairs regularly, haha.

16. Favorite figure for playing purposes? Series 2 Owen ruled for playing, so did the Billy Gunn figures. Loved the Henry Godwinn too. And the Sultan

17. Favorite BCA carding? Never had much of a preference.

18. Favorite BCA exclusive figure (can be individual or in a boxed set)? Warrior repaint in Green from Survivor Series box set. LOVED IT.

19. If Jakks had continued with either non-BCA line, Legends or Ripped and Ruthless, which would you have wanted? Never had any figures from either, so none.

20. Favorite all-around aspect of the BCA line (playability, likenesses, collectability, etc)? Being able to buy a figure for $5. and the versatility of the line, 1996-1999 might not seem like a long run now but they pumped out almost every relevant character in that era.

21. Favorite overall figure? Grudge Match Triple H in his metallic blue tights, Series 6 Jarrett, or series 2 Owen.
