Wanted to share of some of my latest customs. I mainly post on the facebook group of BCA custom figures and then post here later on when I remember. So first up is something im sure we all wanted growing up, a real ring attire Big Show! I pretty much used a rotary tool to get the shirt and legs grinded down to use some modeling clay on to fix up afterwards.  Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley - another figure we never got in the BCA line. I used the TTL torso and head on a Chainz legs and arms.  Pat Patterson & Gerald Brisco - another set of figures we all wanted but never got. The Corporation is now more complete   more interesting customs coming soon! That is a great group ("WWE Jakks BCA Custom Figures", for those wondering). Some very talented customizers on there - yourself included. Show looks awesome. I can't imagine any other way to go with it than to modify the original parts. That head is massive lol. Stephanie TTL/BCA mash-up is the kind of out-of-the-box creativity that you really don't see anyone doing these days. I like it! The Stooges had to happen eventually. I'm so glad that you did them, though, because I think you chose the perfect parts. Jakks versions probably would've been terrible likenesses and we all know it. please make mean street posse! A friend of mine on the facebook group made some about a year back. As you can see with the photos they are random heads as they never made any of the mean street posse in figure form. another set of figures lost to us.  Also to note I am considering making Big Shows ring attire for those who want it. All I need is a Big Show figure. Most of the work was grinding down the figure, adding clay then painting. Was also thinking of doing an Andre at some point. Those heads actually aren't bad. Bulldog for Pete, Austin for Rodney, and Droz for Joey. Could be a lot worse. Triple H 1999   Who knew Austin legs could be so useful? This came out as good as any of your previous customs. Love that you used an R3 head. Recently got back into collecting BCA. So much nostalgia tied up in these! Absolutely. Nostalgia still holds up for me even after all these years. Welcome to the thread.  New home office shelf cleared, needed some bone crunching buddies! Bone Crunching Buddies would go great in a display like that! Never thought about including them before, but then again I don't have any in my collection, so I don't know what good that would do me lol. |

Next round of BCA customs are ready! Chyna inspired me for Stephanie in which has brought on some Statusfaction!  Body is from the later JAKKS line of Trish, rest is Stone Cold legs and arms.   As you can see had some issues getting the torso apart but worked out over all. Arms I had to put the screws in and then twist in the arms.  To go with Trish we needed someone extreme! Lita!!  Lita is pretty much DOA legs and arms and then Stephanie McMahon torso with a Lita head.  And a preview bringing in the old with the new. This was from early testing and gotta say Mattel bodies are hard to get into but in the end it works but needs some work.  |

Making the most of what you have available, and trying new things. Thanks for allowing us to share in your discoveries! Ordered a few MOC to open up to bring back memories of my childhood. Whats the best ring to display them in Thats a decent price? Are they too big for the Hasbro ring? You might be able to use a Hasbro ring for a fun little display, but the ideal ring for BCAs would be either the Attitude or Hardcore ring. I also really like how the BCAs fit in the Mattel Main Event ring. 96 Austin Looks great with the Real Scan head (and no eyebrows!). Austin deserved one like this, without the elbow pads and Sid legs and all that mess. Which ECW stars had a BCA made? Cactus Jack of course, anyone else? Pillman Austin Dudley's Benoit Jericho Eddie "Dr. Death" Steve Williams 2 Cold Scorpio (BCA Flash Funk) Al Snow Brian Lee (BCA Chainz) Cyrus The Virus (BCA The Jackyl) Davey Boy Smith (BCA British Bulldog) - wrestled for Eastern Championship Wrestling Droz Jerry "The King" Lawler Jim Cornette (invaded ECW in '97 with Lawler) Luna Vachon Road Warrior Hawk Ron Simmons (BCA Faarooq) Scott Hall (BCA Razor Ramon) Sid Vicious (BCA Sycho Sid) Taka Michinoku Tammy Lynn Sytch (BCA Sunny) Terry Gordy (BCA Executioner) The Bruise Brothers (BCA 8-Ball & Skull) The Vampire Warrior (BCA Gangrel) Might be missing a couple more. Did Del Wilkes (as The Patriot) ever wrestle for ECW? |

Did Del Wilkes (as The Patriot) ever wrestle for ECW? I couldnt find any thing about Wilkes working for ECW on wiki nor do I remember it so I think your list is pretty much complete I took the eyebrows off nearly all of the Jakks Austin figures. They look 100% better. July '99 Triple H  I swapped Animal's torso and arms to make him thicker than Hawk   I switched out the strange tanktop for Hawk on the LOD 2000 figure for a normal torso   More accurate arms (with wrist tape) for Brian Christopher. I chose to leave the vest torso on him for the time being  |

I been trying to make a more accurate Val Venis but his BCA's Hulk Hogan-esque tan makes it pretty much impossible. The accurate body parts are all there but none match his skintone.  There is this option but I don't particularly care for how oversized the head is on the body so I'm fresh out of ideas.  As per therealworldchampion suggestion, I used Headbanger arms on Pillman. A much better fit than the HHH series 6 arms I had on him.   Hardcore Holly   |

BoneCrunchingCustomsLove what you've been doing lately with the Austin legs. Those are great underutilized parts. I don't know if I'll ever get on board with Brian Christopher arms; they're just too much for me. I do enjoy seeing the effort to bulk up either Road Warrior, though. LOD 2000 Hawk and Brian Christopher are nice, subtle improvements. That's pretty much a perfect upper body for Rock in ring gear. Are those Mattel elbow pads? They look like a good fit. Val is a tough one because of the dark skin tone. You might be able to lighten it up with some paint, or just stick with the CS head because that looks fine as is. Headbangers arms for Pillman work well. I also really liked therealworldchampion's Pillman with DOA arms. Holly with the one elbow pad and expressive Real Scan head also give it some much-needed life, because that BCA head is a bit generic.

Holly with the one elbow pad and expressive Real Scan head also give it some much-needed life, because that BCA head is a bit generic. Thanks and I completely agree. So strange that the Sid legs saw about 80 different uses from jakks (especially considering how inaccurate they almost always were) and the series 4 Austin ones just the one. The Christopher arms are ridiculous lol but they could be fitting for a Big Poppa Pump bca. Those are indeed Mattel elbow pads on The Rock. So baffling he never had elbow pads on any bca figures after series 5 and the black repaint, especially considering removing one was part of his gimmick and one of the most popular moves in WWF at the time. I wish I was that skilled a painter to be able to adjust the skin tone but I feel it would end up looking like I put it in the microwave. I think the cs head in the best option for the time being, too. Are the DOA arms the same as Fully Loaded Rock? They look similar but the Rock arms may have more muscle tone. I really like the Holly fix-up too. Even an elbow pad can go a long way to make a figure seem more genuine. |
