Are there any differences in the tattoos or anything? Double-checked and yeah, there are many differences lol. Skull's eyes have blue pupils, whereas 8-Ball's are black (his 2 Tuff Series 1 figure at least, which is what I'm using for comparison purposes here). Skull's airbrushed hair (the shading on the top of his head, similar to the Headbangers figures) is a smaller size and doesn't wrap around his head like 8-Ball's does. As far as Skull's tattoos are concerned, he has one on his left bicep and two on his right bicep, both of which are significantly different from 8-Ball's. The left arm has a head of a woman or ghost (?) with long, flowing black hair. The right arm has what looks to be two sickles and the Abominable Snowman's head lol. The designs on the back of Skull's vest are the same, just faded as if they're a grayish-white instead of a bright white paint like 8-Ball has. As I said before, the t-shirt underneath is white compared to 8-Ball's black t-shirt. Skull's jeans have a dark stonewash appearance compared to 8-Ball's jet black pants. Also, Skull's belt buckle is painted whereas 8-Ball's is not. I'll take some pics for you if that's any easier. Here you go: 2 Tuff Series 1 8-Ball is on the left and Best of '98 Series 1 Skull is on the right. Hope that helps.

I never knew there was that much of a difference between the Skull and 8ball figures.
On a side note i am having surgery tomorrow and i will not be able to come back online for at least 2 weeks (maybe sooner).Which means i can't go to flea markets and yard sales looking for the remaining bca figures i need for my collection.

Good luck with your surgery, and I'm sure you won't miss out on anything.
If you need me to look for any BCA figures on eBay for you, just let me know.
Which ones do you still need?

The only one i really need is the livewire series Marc Mero in the Red and Black boxing trunks.I have a good lead on one from one of my friends who owns a flea market booth.

Just bought a BCA lot! I saw Superstars 2 Bret Hart (who, as some of you know, I've been after for quite a while now) and decided to go for it. There are a couple other nice figures as well, the WMXIV HHH with the vest, and a different DX or Corporate HHH with the Superstars 6 mold.
I'll try and have some pics when the figures arrive!

I loved the BCA figure, wrestled with them all the time. But other than just messing around with them I don't think I ever really used the 'bone crunching action' feature while playing with them. lol

I spotted a few MOC BCA figures in an old WWF Magazine pictorial of Debra, circa 1999. I know I've seen them on the Internet not that long ago, but I'll probably scan these in tomorrow if I get the chance. It looks like the photos were taken at WWE headquarters and they just had MOC figures laying around everywhere. Weird, but cool at the same time. I also love how so many of the WWF Magazine issues from 2000 have TTL advertisements in them compared to the few, if any, advertisements printed of the BCA line in 1999. And by love I mean, well, you get the picture. Edit: And congrats to both Haggar and teamratedcds for your guys' recent buys/trades. It's always great for me to see others buying in to the BCA line. ;D

The Attitude Ring was awesome. Really cool, the only thing I didn't really like was the lack of apron space - made tag matches kinda hard. and chicago - thanks man, my lot I basically bought JUST for Bret Hart haha. So hopefully the other figures may end up finding their way to some other BCA enthusiast or someone who just wants a couple nostalgic figures. I'm still waiting to decide

I spotted a few MOC BCA figures in an old WWF Magazine pictorial of Debra, circa 1999. These two scans came from the February 1999 issue of the WWF RAW Magazine: Pages 30 and 31 Pages 34 and 35 (Debra's head was cut off...but did I intend to do that?!? ) Of course, it's always sad when the first thing you notice is BCA figures in these two photos.

Does that say thumb at the top of that 2 pack with Owen?

Yeah, those were the Thumb Wrestler 2-packs.
Having seen those photos, I wonder just how many BCA figures were openly displayed at any given time in WWF/E headquarters.

I didn't know they made thumb wrestlers, until just now. They look cool
