The BCA Line

Thanks, I’m probably gonna do a separate post with those customs and some more. Yeah, that’s the S.T.O.M.P. crush head on a 8Ball body.....or is it Skull? I know one came with Chains and the other was only in the Best of Series and has a white shirt.

That Bulldog would be a cool fixup. I may try it if I find another Triple H. I always like that Triple H. Although it’s not really a great depiction of Triple H, it is a very cool figure.

Those little legs are the reason I don’t really like any of the Test figures, other than the 2 I have in my collection. He always looked funny with a big upper body and his arms out like they are and those little legs. But the one with the Slammers HBK legs is great. Just wish it had the designs on the legs.

He was in the Bad Boys set. Series 4 I believe.

and a 2-tuff set with brian christopher

love those customs! eliminators were such a sick tag team

It's really cool how a torso change or a swap of the arms can improve the look of a figure. Hunter Hearst-Helmsley is a perfect example of that, with the Sid torso and Headbangers arms. Love the Mankind with Phineas Godwinn arms and Road Dogg legs. Bulldog is an interesting one, because initially it kind of takes me aback by how small the head looks on that HHH torso, yet it's such a good choice for giving him some more upper body bulk/definition. Patriot BCA is class work; the Billy Gunn upper body fits him so well. Nice little Vince fix-up there.

The Real Scan customs definitely add another layer to your work. Would love to see how Rock might look with his Rocky Maivia legs, just to break up the monotony of using Sid legs (great as they are). Of course, you know I can't help but gush over John Cena's pieced-together parts. It still just about blows my mind. Flair being able to chop with LOD arms is fantastic. Benoit looks scary good with the Off The Mat torso. With BCA, scale is always going to be an issue, but Taker is clearly utilizing the right parts for him, so kudos again. Love Tazz's orange boots.

A full roster of BCA legends would be something else. Taker in gray seems like it wouldn't be all that complex to make, but your execution is flawless. Same for Slaughter and Jake, really. Those are three of your finest customs, I believe (along with the many other Golden Era customs you've shared with us over the years). Makes me wish that Classic Superstars nostalgia was in during the late '90s, because I'd love to think Jakks would've attempted a Boss Man similar to yours. Was the Taker in all black one that you thought of using a Real Scan head for? I can't remember if I've seen that one before. Roddy with the Austin t-shirt upper body looks factory made. Love the Patriot torso for Rey.

Played-with customs are also a lot of fun to look back on. Takes me back to that feeling you'd get as a kid when you thought you were really onto something. When I converted my 2 Tuff 4 Billy Gunn into a very crude Mikey Whipwreck custom, I thought I had it all. The Eliminators and Raven certainly look to have held up well. Again, the Frankenstein-esque creations that you come up with never cease to amaze me.

Great stuff, as always. Thanks for sharing those again.

Thanks!

I always thought Bulldog should’ve had a larger torso, luckily I found a Hardcore Holly with a close match for the skintone. I agree the head does look a bit small.
I had seen someone on Facebook make BCA fixups with Slammers Patriot and Pillman. I can’t remember what parts they used but I knew when I saw it that I wanted to try it too. I still need to get a Slammers Pillman to use. Also would like to try a Dude Love at some point.

What can I say, I love those Sid legs lol. The Triple H and Rock real scans are my 2nd attempt at these. My first ones I sold when I sold off a bunch of my BCAs years ago. When I started buying BCAs again, they were 2 that I knew I had to redo and add to my collection. I thought those arms worked well for Flair chops and the Nature Boy strut lol.

Thanks, I’m really happy with how those Classic Superstars turned out. I’m hoping to do some more of those soon. I used the Backlash Edge for Mysterio because of that Edge being shorter than most BCAs. The all black Taker was another one that I made years ago, but when I sold off my figures somehow he stuck around. I bet he would look good with a real scan head.






Thanks! As I mentioned above, I had seen someone else make ‘de-Slammered’ Patriot and Pillman, and knew I wanted to try those too.
I never liked that original Helmsley torso and arms. This does bare a good resemblance to the mini ring Helmsley now that you mention it.

Thanks dude, I’m really happy with how he turned out

This day in history (coming up shortly): the 2nd anniversary of this post!


Question to @chicago - Do you recall any other news about a Ringside Collection series 3? You mention some names that were bantered around including the Stooges, and the series was obviously never produced. 









This peeved me as well. Luckily, if you are jonesing for a history of BCA figures, yours truly made a History of BCA (1996-1997) that you can find on Youtube or this thread somewhere. And I just finished the 1998 BCA script (thanks to Chicago 's outstanding and unparalleled level of research) so that will be a thing very soon
