I genuinely love FC's BCA figures, man. What a thrill to be getting these in 2024! I have a few questions/observations, though: - It seems like the turnaround time between a figure being announced and released is very long. Will this always be the case or are there any indications that they're adapting part of their process in order to get their product out faster?
- Have they ever offered insight on who they'd love to add to the line? Also, it seems Epic Toys can produce figures of DDP and Eddy Guerrero -- is this possible for FC? Can FC do further work with AEW-contracted talent like they have with Jeff Jarrett (I'm assuming your Jeff Hardys and Chris Jerichos are unrealistic but how about someone like Arn Anderson or Tony Schiavone?)
- When should we expect news about the two Jarrett's + Mike Chioda?

is the one you want to reach out to for direct answers, but if it helps any: 1. The reason for the long wait times is unforeseen delays during production. It’s a learning process for all involved. There are a lot of moving parts and things can get complicated when you’re not able to be hands-on every step of the way. 2. It depends on who’s available to them. Talent that are being offered by other indie companies should be fair game, but then again the terms of each deal likely vary. If gaps in the BCA timeline can be filled (across all major US promotions from the mid-to-late ‘90s), I think that would be of greatest interest to FC. Jeff Jarrett may be the exception, as I think his deal came about prior to signing with AEW. 3. The two Jarretts are up next in terms of BCW preorders. They will kickoff Series 2 of the main line. When those go up for preorder is unknown. The only other names announced for Series 2 so far are Referee Mike Chioda and Glacier. |

I went to Book Off in Manhattan and picked up loose Dudley Boys BCAs that were released with the Stunt Action Ring for $20. They're both very plain figures and will not be featured in my 90s pic fed but decided to get them anyways.

Also probably the least essential figures from the line lol. The Road to WrestleMania versions that came first are so much better. |

Book Off is a great place, but you must be careful because they will sell broken loose figures. These appeared to be fine at first glance, though. |

Curious to know if anyone has picked up any of the BCW figures from FC? I know it’s been a bit all over the place in terms of who has been made/announced. Who do you wish had been made into a BCA style figure that never got the chance due to timing?

Who do you wish had been made into a BCA style figure that never got the chance due to timing? Oh yeah. I’ve got two of each. I’m happy with everything that’s been released thus far. I try not to get too much into personal wishlists. If FC is able to sign someone and do right by them, I’ll support it. My preference would be mid-to-late ‘90s WWF, so basically guys that would have fit within the original BCA timeframe. I think some big ones would be Terry Funk, Jake Roberts, Jim Neidhart, and Roddy Piper. They would have crossover appeal. Legends deals would likely get in the way, though. |

Did Terry Funk get one in his WWF run in '98? Because if not you may have the added chance of a regular Funk and a Chainsaw Charlie which would be great. A couple I think might be cool, pardon the pun, would be Scotty 2 Hotty and Grandmaster Sexay in 2 Cool gear. I'm not very knowledgeable on late 90's/early 2000's BCA's, but if they haven't been done it would make a great addition to the line. |

Names like that are what would attract me to this line. I recently picked up this Breakdown Austin. The accessories, esp the cd tower, are awesome.  |
