I am still in the process of rebuilding my BCA collection. Both MOC and loose. The last BCA figure i seen at a flea market was the Fully Loaded Al Snow MOC. The lady wanted $30.00 for it.

I'll add the pictures in a few minutes, but it does seem like the New Age Outlaws were running neck-and-neck as far as the total number of releases. Road Dogg - 1. 2 Tuff Series 2 2. 2 Tuff Series 5 3. Shotgun Saturday Night Series 2 4. Deadly Games Series (aka SSN Series 3) 5. BJ's Deadly Games Series (^) 3-pack is a re-release of the singles figure 6. Fully Loaded Series 1 7. Fully Loaded Series 2 8. Sunday Night Heat Series 9. Best of '98 Tag Teams Series is a 2 Tuff Series 2 re-release 10. Signature Series 2 is a 2 Tuff Series 2 release with facsimile signature added to leg 11. Signature Series 5 12. WrestleMania XV Grudge Match Series 2-pack 13. Special Edition Series 4 is a 2 Tuff Series 2 re-release 14. Backlash Series 1 15. D-Generation X 4-pack is a 2 Tuff Series 2 re-release 16. Off the Mat 4-pack (also has a "thumbs up" variant) 17. Fully Loaded 4-pack is a Shotgun Saturday Night Series 2 re-release 18. Perfect 10 10-pack is a Deadly Games Series (aka SSN Series 3) re-release Again, that's not counting the two or three Camo Carnage figures he had. I think Billy would have had one or two more overall if you count the Camo Carnage figures, but it's amazing how close they were. |

I'm counting every actual Road Dogg BCA release, but there could be other slight variations out there of these figures.
I doubt those would be anything significant.

Yeah, I try to count all of the re-releases, too, which is why it often looks like there were more than most people knew about it.
I'll also try to point out when something is a re-release and, if I haven't, it's either a completely different repaint or just a slightly-altered repaint, such as the Signature Series 2 Road Dogg (boots aren't as detailed).

Here is the list of all of the Austin variations (ALL credit goes to the Big Brothers Wrestling Figure Museum website): There are quite a lot, to say the least.  |

I forgot to mention that I bought two MOC figures on eBay yesterday, Signature Series 1 Goldust and DTA Tour Series 1 8-Ball, but I did overspend a little to get them. I paid $4 shipped for Goldust and $5 shipped for 8-Ball; however, I do have a decent excuse lol. I needed Goldust to continue filling out Series 1 (missed out on LOD a week or two ago, so I still need them, Mankind, and Austin from that series), and I bought another 8-Ball repaint to have as Skull for my second set of DOA loose. They only made one Skull figure similar to the 2 Tuff Series 1 set in black, so there wasn't a figure with acid wash jeans to match the DTA Tour Series 1 Chainz and 8-Ball. Now, the trouble is in telling the two 8-Balls apart. |

ahhh the D'Lo Brown with the Van Vader body!! I believe he even had Van Vader's gloves on his hands too hahaha
I remember taking a He Man chest protector (I wanna say it was that guy that had the giant metal fist) and put it on D'Lo back when D'Lo was doing the chest protector gimmick.
I never bothered to upgrade my D'Lo or Godfather figures because I always thought they looked just right in that 2 Tuff series that they came in.
I always liked that Droz figure too, I thought it was a very under rated figure.
Also, Chicago what was up with that one line of figures that were almost like Hasbro figures?? I remember I bought the 3 pack of Foley and Dude Love and Mankind were like that. You could click a button on their backs and their arms would move and such. I never bought Taka, Pillman, or The Patriot because of that. If they would have just been normal BCA style then I would have for sure.

The Slammers Series had action features to add another dimension to Jakks' figures, but the not-so-original concept never really took off like they wanted it to from the beginning.
There was a Mankind TV spot for the first series, the excitement for other debut figures in series 2 with Kane, Dude Love, Taka, and The Patriot, and Jakks Pacific all but wrote off the original BCA figures after Superstars Series 5, hence the long delay between that and Series 6 (with HHH, Mero, Blackman, Owen, Double J, and Mark Henry). The reason being that the Slammers Series was going to take over (sort of like phasing out the originals, which Jakks later did with the TTL line) beginning with series 3, which was the exact same line-up as the aforementioned Superstars Series 6 figures.
Unfortunately for them, sales were not great for the Slammers figures and their plans to phase out the original BCAs were put on hold for another one and a half to two years. They went ahead with Superstars Series 6 in the fall of 1998, and Slammers Series 3 never saw the light of day. In other words, the Slammers figures were deemed failures, much like the original Legends line (outside of Andre). Not even Ripped and Ruthless could make it to series 3.

here's a question I've always wondered.
Were Jimmy Snuka, Captain Lou, and Freddy Blassie from the Legends figures in scale with other BCA figures? I know Andre was, but Andre is supposed to be bigger. I never had them, but always wanted Snuka & Captain Lou.

I always wondered why the Ripped and Ruthless line never went past series 2. Now i know. I think i still have all of Legend figure MIB.
I remember the first time i saw the RAR series 2 Kane in Meijers. I freaked out and bought the entire set. I still have the series 2 HBK sitting on my dresser MIB.
I also remember i would do chores for the people in my neighborhood. When i would get enough money my dad would take me to TRU and i would end up buying the entire set of whatever series was out at the time.

I can only imagine how well a Marc Mero Ripped & Ruthless figure would have sold.. |

Like I said, everyone that was in Superstars Series 6. That was the line-up for Slammers Series 3 originally, so imagine everyone from HHH to "Double J" Jeff Jarrett having those awful Slammers features. Surely, Steve Blackman couldn't have been any worse...right? |

haha that poor Blackman. His TTL style figure was better than that first BCA one, that's for sure.
How rare is the Blue Blazer figure now a days anyhow?? I owned it MOC for a long time and sold it for $50 back in 2006 to a buddy of mine.
