Hah! That is incredible! I don't think it gets much better than that CC figure. What's the recipe? If you don't mind me asking.

I used the right-lower arm of Henry for the fist. I sanded the torso and sculpted the shirt, the suspenders, and the wrist tape. It's (obviously) a Terry Funk head. Thanks for the comments. I have a Golga and Oddities Kurrgan on their way too.

Very cool choices.
Will you modify the Deadly Games Series Kurrgan figure in his Oddities attire?
I was always convinced that Jakks didn't make Golga because, without securing the rights to use Cartman's and/or South Park's image, it would have sold terribly. Like, along the same lines as Dr Death.

Like, along the same lines as Dr Death. No, actually. I was looking at Kurrgan on the cover of the 99 magazine (maybe Jan?) and he has pants and not tights. I also noticed he wore a beanie on his head and was not angry. So, I am going to experiment with using his 2Tuff figure's pants and his head by sanding down the hat into a beanie. I then will try to use the torso from the newer NAO figures...the newer t-shirt torso. It's a little bigger than the older shirt. He might be small so I will need to accommodate for that. I was thinking about that with Golga and I used to think so as well. However, there are many ways around that by either making a blank shirt, a WWF logo or a picture of him on the front. I just think they didn't get around to him. Whatever the case, that would have been an awesome multipack. Kurrgan, Golga, Luna and Silva. (Sold well? who knows, but still a fun idea. I buy all masked guys) I am working on a BCA George Steele, too, to accompany my Oddities.

This makes me want to start making customs BCAs of classic wrestlers. I would love to have a rock n roll express in bca form.

That's what I meant about Golga; I'm sure they could have made it work as they've done with countless figures over the years, but Cartman/South Park was the only identifiable feature (besides the mask, obviously) attached to his character. Without that, I don't think it would have been a good indication of his popularity with fans. An Oddities 4-pack would have definitely sold well since they were most often recognized as a faction. Plus, it would be reasonable for Jakks to cut costs with some/all of the figures in a boxed set where collectors might be able to overlook missing details on Golga's debut figure. As with most names that never were released in the BCA line, I think an additional six months of TV time would have helped.

I like the random places these figures turn up in usually in bodegas or magazine shops. Found a Superstars Series 5 Rocky and picked him up for 8 bux. I will no longer keep these on card cause I'm going for a loose collection. I sold my old collection a few years back and regret it.

It's been rewarding for me to rebuild my BCA collection, and I hope that all collectors could feel the same way as I have over the past four years.
I've really been out of the loop lately (well, actually, the past few months), but I still enjoy a quick glance every now and then at what I've accumulated thus far.
There are figures that I still want, as well as a nice display case to showcase them all, but I find that it's better to take a break from it and take up other hobbies.
Anyone else ever feel like a break in collecting or, hell, even looking at your BCA figures can make you appreciate them more after a while?

I have been looking for BCA figures both moc and loose to complete me collection.The last one i saw was a DTA series Jeff Jerrett and the guy wanted $25.00 for it. The carding looked like it had been in storage for a long time.

my Nephew watched HIAC with HBK and UT this morning and has been playing with my BCA UT and HBK all day in his own HIAC.............he likes it better than any other type of wrestler for this battle.
the Undertaker he uses is the larger one from Jakks.....I believ its the 3rd version of him?and SS95 attire HBK.
man he had a blast all day.

Wow i absolutey love this thread, reading through this reminded me that i still have my BCA collection from when i was little in my garage so i dug them out and i really wish i would have taken care of my figs the way i do now. Some of them things are horribly beat up and even after playin with them for a few minutes when i found them they still prove to be some of the best figures for play.

Love to hear this. If I were a parent (or became an uncle), I would definitely want him (or her, who knows ) to have fun playing with BCA figures. It might give me an excuse to start another collection, and there's nothing wrong with that. And I'm looking forward to those pics, fallbrawl; it sounds like you got a pretty good deal.

Did they come from a smoker's home?
A little dusting and you've got yourself a good assortment.
Was the ring included in the deal?

Yes, the guy was a smoker. The sig series 2 HBK still smells like smoke pretty bad. I have cleaned him twice.
The ring was included in the deal. I also got a Hulk Hogan wrestling wrestling buddy that does not smell like smoke.
do you know any tips on how to remove cigerette smoke from bca figures?
