I remember having that last belt (the one around CM Punks waist).I got it with a bunch of bootleg figures from big lots. Same here. Sure is a shame that you had to downgrade in the quality of your belts from then to now, though.  I don't know if I would ever attempt a BCA custom again, but I have thought about little fix-ups here and there. If I could manage a successful head swap attempt, I'd probably be as proud of that thing as if I'd given birth to it.  |

im not sure about the head, I think its an early figure. but for the body is from HHH with light blue tights. Lucky enough that body had arms fit for a CM Punk. Just had to put X's on the hands.
the way I did the heads on most of my customs, was take the original head of best I could. Some of them you might have to trim the peg off. Then I usually hot glue the head to the body and sometimes using super glue too. Havent had much trouble with them, just a few times had a decapitation. but they are playable like the other bca's.
as for the belts, they did there purpose back in the day. I did upgrade to the jakks non painted and non leather belts when they came out. and when I saw Nelly's work I had to upgrade to them. as for the belt around punks waist, the figure was a generic hulk hogan. dont have it anymore I dont think.

I love the Slammers Series 2 Patriot figure.
The mask is excellent, the design of the tights wraps around to the back, and the Slammers action feature isn't too much of an obtrusion for play. The Patriot mold is my favorite (or maybe I should say "least hated") of all of the Slammers bodies.
Of course, he could use more muscle, but I'd rather Jakks have slighted him than to go the BCA Brian Christopher route.
I would even go so far as to say that the entire Slammer Series 2 assortment is one of the best that Jakks Pacific had to offer during the BCA era.
It gave us:
- Four (out of six possible) debut figures for the BCA line, including Kane, Dude Love, Taka, and The Patriot. The latter three never were repainted either, unless you count Dude Love's Signature Series 2 figure with the fac sig on his leg.
- The other two in the series, HBK and Brian Pillman, introduced new sculpts for each -- the first HBK BCA figure to be released with chaps, and the one-and-only BCA Pillman in ring gear (since S.T.O.M.P. Series 1 was a fantasy attire, for the most part).
- Two of the six figures, Brian Pillman and The Patriot, were never released again after Slammers Series 2.

I remember when series 2 slammers first came out. I picked up Dude Love and The Patriot..and a couple weeks later got HBK. The Patriot was def an awesome figure as was Dude Love.

I picked these up at a yard sale today for $1.00 each. They look to be in decent shape, too, so nice grabs. Signature Series 3 Triple H (minus the jacket) and Superstars Series 8 Shane McMahon, by the way.  |

I also didnt have a computer when I started collecting bca's. some of the first ones i got was from walmart or magic mart. then when spam started advertising in wrestling magazines, my parents started ordering the first few series from there. and here are photos of those belts (with custom CM Punk) I was speaking of: Brown Version (Light Heavy Weight, Cruiser, US and IC Belts)  Black Version (Tag Team, World Heavy Weight & International Belt)  Also found this belt:  oh and these are the belts I use now:  I have the grey strapped belt around Punks waist also. Cool Punk custom. I've been wanting to make a BCA custom Punk for my little sister for awhile, just have to find a cheap Punk head |

The kid selling them wanted $7.00 each but when he went in the house his mom sold me both figures for $2.00 The kid told me the long winded story about how rare that shane figure is but i did not really pay attention. |

I had that Shane figure at one point. It's one of my favorites from the whole BCA line.
Also, I'm now tempted to make a Punk BCA

I looked on ebay and didnt see any figures or any others that are close enough to match the figure I used for Punk. basic body would be trunks and have to find arms that are droz like and with out the tattoos and stuff. not sure who else had similar arms in the bca line. perhaps chicago would know.
the only thing I didnt like about that shane is he couldnt sit down in a chair properly.

I am not sure if you meant there was no other figure of him - at all - or not, but there is a Justoys Bend-em figure of him. |

There is no BCA figure with those exact parts. Punk's head is one of his earliest RA figures. Droz's arms originated with the Superstars Series 6 Marc Mero sculpt. Mero's figure was re-released in a Grudge Match Series 2-pack with Steve Blackman and Special Edition Series 3. It was also repainted in his red boxing attire for Live Wire Series 2. Droz's only figures came from the Break Down: In Your House Series and Deadly Games Series (a.k.a. Shotgun Series 3). So, we know the arms belong to either Droz or Mero. I'd have to see more pics of the lower body to be able to piece it all together. For the first time in well over 4 years i sat down and had a few matches with the bca figures that i am picking up here and there. Very cool. I wish I could break in the stiffs of my collection to where they were easier for play; I only have a select few from my original collection and if I picked them up now it would be like 1999 all over again, which in this case is a good thing. |

the lower body is of the Signature Series 6 HHH with the teal/light blue trunks. and the legs is the basic stone cold/HHH legs that was used for most figures. so its a mix of 3 figures.

Makes sense, as I would've figured it belonged to Austin, or Triple H as a second choice.
If anyone is interested in the WrestleMania XIV (14) Series 4-pack with HHH, Undertaker, Stone Cold, and HBK figures for a low price, there is one ending on eBay in the next eight and a half hours for under $10 shipped, no bids, with this title:
