I have never tried it, but wrapping it in a dryer sheet in a plastic bag is supposed to work also.

Thanks for the help guys. I finally got the smell off of hbk and i removed the dust from jr and the king.
Is there anyway to restore the color on the figures? It looks like owens head is sunburned.

Doubt it, unless you touch it up with some paint or find a replacement head.
I've always wanted to try a short-haired Owen sculpt; I just to need to buy one of each and, well, try not to screw it up too badly.
Those are some great ideas from the last page, but fortunately I've never had to deal with a strong smoke odor.

hi been reading the whole thread some great stories, im from the uk and have built up my collection from march and now have at least 1 of every bca figure, just wanted to know what the value of a loose executioner is, and how hard is it to get hold of the bca smoking skull and hardcore titles as I have the others, just so hard to get them over here.

I would say anywhere between $3-$6 for a loose executioner. Not unless you get the odd scalper who thinks he struck gold finding that figure.

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. 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. yeah stays with me every second Saturday and usually breaks out my BCAs. he loves them....

Has anyone tried a Mattel head on a BCA head? I forget if we've already had this conversation, but I tried it and it looked fine. I was thinking about trying my hand at some BCA customs for old times sake, but using mattel heads

Walked into a shop here in Albany NY (at the Colonie Center Mall, to be precise) and there was a new sports/collectible store. They had some WWE stuff, among them a couple MOC BCAs.
There was Superstars 5 Austin, a few Tag Teams (Headbangers and Blackjacks, if I remember) but they were charging 20 dollars for Stone Cold, and up to 30 for the tag teams.
They also had a CSTT set with Paul Bearer/Undertaker (gray boots/gloves) for $60. The bubble was torn off the card across the bottom. I laughed on my way out, hoping that they weren't actually expecting to sell any of these figures.

I was just looking at my MOC Blue Blazer and I can't get over the fact that: - It's Jeff Jarrett on the picture on the front - It's just a Patriot mask painted Blue Blazer colours. Not Jakks' finest day, I must say. Anybody know what they're worth now-a-days? I sold my Superstars 2 Owen for £4.70 I never knew they had a Jeff Jarrett picture on the Blue Blazer figure

So I was thinking about this today......
I think I know why we all believe that BCA are the wrestling figures with the best playability.
The first wrestling figures that most of us remember ( that just about anybody remembers) are the LJN figures. Not to down play the LJN's, they were cool, but you were slightly limited with what you could do with these big rubber posed figures.
Next we were treated to Hasbro's WWF figures. They introduced action features that let us do some cool signature moves to our other figures, and all had some movable parts. However the action feature or some cases, the pose they were in because of the action feature really limited playability.
Sure we had our imaginations and they could make up for the fact that these to lines couldn't perform certain moves. But then Jakks started producing the BCA figures......
The BCA line comes out and we're given figures without the poses and irritating action features, but are treated with something much more valuable. We got movable arms, legs, waist, and in some cases heads. And for the first time, with the BCA's we were able to perform many of the coolest moves that we were forced to stretch our imaginations with when using LJN's and Hasbro's. This coupled with the fact that there were so many good wrestlers released in the BCA line, these will forever be the Champions in my eyes when compared to any other wrestling figures.

I still remember playing with the series 1 Bret and HBK for hours on end.

Anyone recall in the BCA days how Austin, Rock, and Undertaker figures were hard to find in stores? That's the way it was here at least. Wrestling was at an all-time high in popularity. Funny seeing today how figures of Orton and Cena are easily found on shelves, when in 1997-1999 the BCA's of WWF's biggest stars were hard to find .

I remember the Undertaker being hard to find. Rock and Austin were always easy for me to find.

Yeah I always had a hard time finding Taker figures as well. I remember when I was looking for Xpac nonstop for a couple of months then I found him and freaked out. That Xpac was up there as one of my fav bca figures. I had the dx version the green, black, and white. I loved that figure so much.

I don't think the UK got great distribution of BCAs up until the last few series', but I don't think any of them were too hard to find at the time. I recall there being a million figures of Chris Jericho and Test warming shelves in the early days of TTL realscan.

I remember series 7 was hard to find. Val Venius was one of the harder ones to find.

Superstars Series 7 reminds me so much of the Attitude Era, what with it's release date nearing the height of the WWF's popularity (early '99), the assortment of characters (including mega stars like Austin and 'Taker, up-and-coming stars such as Edge, Val Venis, and X-Pac, and the figure that everyone would like to forget (Dr Death), and the overall difficulty that was had in finding the new guys. Great set, but I have even better memories of my mother bringing them home for me one day when I least expected it. X-Pac was definitely my favorite of the set, but I remember giving an extra Val I had to my mother since she liked him at the time.
