I think I may have retired one or two guys due to injury, but that was kind of a regular occurrence with BCA figures if you played hard enough lol. Also, after thinking about it for a while, I'd say that the Superstars Series 2 Ultimate Warrior comes to mind first whenever I think of the BCA line. Maybe it's because I'm always willing to bid on the MOC figure when I see them cheap on eBay or since it was one of my favorites when I was a kid. I definitely recall the earlier Superstars figures over the mid-to-late run of the line; there's something about those earlier characters in BCA molds that has a classic feel to it.  |

Whenever I think of BCA, I think of Crush.
For some of the guys I liked that I got on my birthday or Christmas, I'd have an anniversary present for them. For instance, say I got HHH on my birthday, well the next year on my birthday, I'd honor his one year in my fed by giving him a world title shot.
For announcers, I set up Shane McMahon and Jerry Lawler. I didn't get an announce table until well into the TTL years. So I just had two chairs at ringside where Shane and Jerry would sit.

I didn't really use the Ultimate Warrior that much in my fig fed. I had him and Goldust become a tag team know as Ultimate Gold.  The paint on my Goldust figure started peeling really bad just after 2 matches. I did a street fight between him and Vader and by the end of the match Vader had more gold on him than Goldust.  After a while i got tired of keeping track of 3 different storylines (wwf,wcw,ecw) and i did a storyline when Vince bought both the wcw and ecw. I had a big battle royal between all the wcw and ecw wrestlers. The winner would get a shot at any wwf title they wanted. Axel Rotten won the battle royal and took on Triple H for the wwf title at the next ppv. He lost because i made Triple H hold the title for as long as i could.  |

When I was 7 my older brother threw my Ultimate Warrior at me in our hallway, and one of his legs came off. The worst part? It was the Survivor Series green tights version. Of course, that was irrelevent to me at the time, I was just happy to have one. I took the figure on a camping trip and lost the detached leg, so since 1997 I've had a 1 legged Ultimate Warrior Survivor Series figure. My brother passed away last summer, and any time I look at that figure I can't help but to smile But in response to what you said, I never had a 2 legged Ultimate Warrior for my federation in its prime, so I usually kept him behind the announcer desk or tried to use other random legs so he could stand. |

I had both Warriors. I used the blue one for Raw and shows like that and i used the green one for ppvs. My sister got mad at me once and took a black marker and colored my series 3 Bulldog figure. I was so mad that i threw all of her make up and her favorite pair of ear rings in the trash. She went running to my dad and he said "you shouldn't have messed with his wrestling figures" and he made her buy me a new one ;D the next week at TRU. All i had to do was cut the grass  for throwing her stuff away. |

Why isn't this stickied yet?? I mean, seriously, everyone keeps posting on this, you would think it would be stickied.
Just wonder, what did people use for belts if you never got the box sets that came with the belts?? For me, I used the Hasbro WWE Title for the main belt, and various WCW galoob title belts for the Tag, Euro, IC and Hardcore. I didn't realize the joy of having real belts until Jakks started to released them in RA figures.

I used the Hasbro belt until it started to fall apart. After that I just imagined that the wrestlers had belts but was happy when I finally did get belts.
To another point, I had the blue Warrior. I really don't remember him dominating or jobbing, I don't think I appreciated him as much as I would have had I been older and saw his work.

I had the Hasbro belt for a good while after getting the ring in the early 90s but, as for early on in the BCA line, I definitely made use of the WCW Galoob/OSFTM belts and possibly even cheap thin straps from various knockoff figures.
Also, I remember printing out belts as being a big thing in the late 90s when new sculpts were introduced on TV. Thankfully, we didn't have to wait too long for the first Championship Title Series boxed set (my favorite of them all) which I opened as a present on Christmas Day 1997.
For many years after that I still had my original WWF and European title belts, albeit they had faded considerably. I've replaced them with mint versions since, but I do have the WWF Heavyweight title from my first Jakks boxed set stored with the others.

I never seen those championship belt box sets in Canada. My theory is that - like most things that are wrestling figure related - Canada just didn't get them.
Chicago, was the European Title only released once?? Cause I know it came with Davey in the Davey, Owen, Rocky and Taker set. But I can't see it coming in the other set that had the Outlaws, Rocky and Austin I believe, since none of those guys were European Champion.

I would use my Hasbro Belt and any other belt i could find. I remember during the ttl days they did the "go for the gold" or something like that where they had a small white envelope that had a random belt inside. I think i had 25-30 Hardcore titles.  Did anyone else make up titles in there fig fed? I had Hardcore Tag Team champions Did anyone eles have the 24/7 rule for the Hardcore title? I did and boy did that make a lot of memories.lol One year for Thanksgiving all of my family came and spent the night at our house. Well at 2 am i decided to have a Hardcore match between Al Snow and Hardcore Holly.I slipped across the hallway and got my Attitude ring and shoebox where i kept all the weapons. Then i went back to my room and closed the door so i would not wake anyone up. About 10 mins into the match my aunt knocked on the door and told me to put my toys up and go to bed. Well i didn't listen and the match kept going. The next day when i got up almost everyone in my family was mad at me . Al Snow won the match. |

But I can't see it coming in the other set that had the Outlaws, Rocky and Austin I believe, since none of those guys were European Champion. All of the original sculpted belts were exclusive to that set and never released again, but the European title belt is the only WWF belt that wasn't remade in the BCA line. The Smoking Skull Heavyweight title belt was exclusive to the second Championship Title Series boxed set. Both CTS #1 and #2 were exclusive to TRU stores, by the way. Other boxed sets with BCA title belts include Off The Mat, Hardcore Champions, and the Total Attitude Grapple Gear pack. |

What I remember getting from my birthday, October 1997: WWF Super Wrestlemania (SNES) Tag Teams Legion of Doom, Headbangers WWF Championship 4 pack Thats all I can remember specifically. Did Series 4 and 5 come out in 1997 or '98? I know I got Bradshaw (4) and Flash Funk (5) for my birthday from my dad, but I don't remember if that was the same year or not |

Series 4 was 97, cause I remember getting them in the summer time that year. Series 5 was the winter going into 1998, at least it was for me when I got them. I remember I didn't see series 6 until December '98.

i never liked that ring/cage...the small parts on the cage always broke off and then it was useless. I always used the monster ring until i got my ring scale ring.

the stand alone ring gear cage fits the BCA ring just fine.

the small parts on the cage always broke off and then it was useless.. I had the same problem with mine. I would have 2 or 3 cage matches and then it would break  . Then i would have to use the cage as either part of an entrance or the background as an interview set. Did anyone make custom ring skirts for there ppvs? I always used construction paper and a marker.  |

Jakks was close to phasing out the BCA molds in favor of the Slammers series at the time, but ultimately decided against it (and thank god for that  ). |
