Newest addition to my collection  And of course I had to let him breathe  Did anyone sign up for this?  I've never seen this version of Vader before...I recall mine being more maroon in color and being from the regular Superstars line, I believe? Looks great man! I think most of the Vader releases were maroon. This is the only version of this attire in red, unless I’m mistaken. |

Still don't know why they made vader so slender. Still it made for a good D'lo figure.

Was there ever a Taz in BCA form made?
Even one of the newer Backlash lines?
(If not, is there a singlet wearing figure similar for an easy custom?)

Surprising Taz never had a BCA considering he had a Bend Em and a TTL around the time His TTL head would look perfect for a custom BCA figure. Hoping someone could make one to see how it comes out. What body though? A Vader body like they did with D-Lo? |

I may attempt him again in the future. |

Just got my hands on a MOC Jeff Jarrett and Debra Summerslam 98 Two Pack for like 15 bucks. Was really happy with the price, and probably my favorite BCA Jarrett personally. Nice. Which version of Jarrett did you get? There's one with small knee pads (Sid legs) and one with large knee pads (Owen legs). Here's a comparison, and a photo for reference from when the white gear made its TV debut (2/8/99 RAW, I believe):    Does anyone have any ideas/tips on how to open and reseal the series 1 BCA without damaging the art? Not sure if this will help you any, but here are a few quick links I pulled from the search function: forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/79116/resealing-sealing-moc-figsforum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/48350/resealing-fig-packagesforum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/29404/open-reseal-packagesI was going through my closet and in one of the boxes I found my series 2 gitd Undertaker. Still MOC..I remember my mom bought it for me in like 2006 for like 5 bucks off ebay lol. It was always a figure I wanted as a kid and I remember seeing it once but my parents said no..never seen it again til she bought it for me back in 2006. Wow, that's a long time to have kept one MOC without knowing lol. I remember those days well, when BCA figures were as cheap as can be. That Undertaker figure, in particular, stands out for me because I hacked up one so bad as a kid, and the torso on mine was so ungodly loose, but it made for a perfect jobber. I called him "Unknown" and regularly beat him in hardcore matches. I remember recreating scenes from the Taker/Mankind HIAC match using it and a Series 3 Mankind figure, which oddly enough also went through some turbulent times in what can only be described as "Swing Set Seesaw Warfare". Newest addition to my collection And of course I had to let him breathe Did anyone sign up for this? Love the Live Wire Vader. That's one of my favorite BCA repaints. I think it's a huge color upgrade over the Series 2/Bad Boys Vader. Never had the bright red Vader repaint as a kid, and I don't think I even knew all that much about it when I got back into collecting BCA figures in '07. The Collectors Club is also something I had no connection to, but I'm sure I wasn't missing out on much. By 1998, the Internet would've afforded you more information about upcoming figures than Jakks anyway. Was there ever a Taz in BCA form made? Even one of the newer Backlash lines? (If not, is there a singlet wearing figure similar for an easy custom?) No, Tazz was never made as a BCA figure. Superstars Series 6/2 Tuff 3 Owen might be your best bet for skinny straps on a singlet, but the backs wouldn't be a match for Taz's type. It's got to be easier to just take a Fully Loaded Series 1/2 Tuff 3 The Rock figure, given the skin tone similarities, and paint on the top half of the singlet. Something would have to be done about the molded-on knee pads, though. |

The Shiniest WizardThat's the one I have, too. It's kind of funny when you see the pic of him tagging with Owen and clearly the large knee pads were meant for Owen, but they don't look half bad on Jarrett. The folks at Jakks had to have given themselves a little Barry Horowitz-style pat on the back when they found ANOTHER way to use Owen parts for him. It's too bad that there was never a BCA Jarrett without a tanktop or singlet top. Had there not been the switch-over to TTL, and obviously if Jarrett hadn't left the company when he did, we probably would've gotten a shirtless BCA Jarrett by late '99/early '00.

What’s the average price of a boxed Monster Ring these days?
Got a friend selling for £25 and it’s in really good condition!

I thought about that as well. I ended up making one using a Test torso. I think it turned out pretty good. Lol that’s true, that entire Jarrett figure is reused parts.....well was Jarrett first or was the street gear Shamrock first? |

Been wanting to grab an extra Jarrett to put him in no shirt. But was leaning towards the standard HHH/Edge BCA body. |

If the box hasn't been opened and assuming its a local friend and not someone who has to ship it to you, I'd take that deal if it were me. Monster Rings, especially boxed, don't pop up too often for a fair price. In my opinion that definitely falls within the realm of a fair price! |

Here is my version of BCA Tazz. Its a shame they never made him or continued the BCA line.  Also since you all was talking about Vader here is my latest custom I did using Vader.... Its a New Day yes it is!   And to show off Kofi  When I get some time im gonna be making a thread in the customs area of all the stuff ive done over the years. I recently went over all the ones ive made and painted to add mod podge to them and ive got alot of custom BCAs and still planning on making more! |

So I got an idea a few weeks while looking into if there was a way to add more diva customs into the bca line. I got to looking at Chyna and got an idea. Lower legs and arms are from Chainz. I personally think this was a missed opportunity from JAKKS themselves. Something like this could have easily lead to other diva bca figures that was similar to the main line.   |

Something is about to go down here with the 24/7, 7/11, I-95 North Championship with Drake Maverick and R-Truth. I have a feeling R-Truth is about to get his baby back! I tell you its gonna be chaos here!!! 24/7 belt credit goes to: www.EBAY LINK NOT ALLOWED/usr/huffster-creations . A $3 belt is very worth it, with taxes it was $3.18  |
