Kane and Patriot from Slammers 2 will always be in my favorites. I enjoy Livewire 2 Austin as well (okay, just kidding about that.)

I despise TTL. I bought like 6 of them right when they came out...and lets just say I never got any more. BCA figures were way better. Had so much fun with them...played hours upon hours with them.

I played with BCA figures from 96-99. I hate so much fun, I did so many leagues. They were just so fun to play with. I did all the events, In Your House, RAWs, WrestleMania... I did it all. I kept record books too. Good times. I hate TTL. It seriously ruined my childhood.

I remember going into TRU and seeing the TTL figures for the first time.I bought Kane and Triple H and had one match with them. Needless to say i did not like them.I put the 2 ttls on a shelf and went back to playing with my bca figures.

Replacing BCA with TTL was the right decision. I'm about as big of a BCA fan as there could possibly be this late into the game, but even I will admit that the company needed to evolve and experiment with new technology. We never would have had a lot of lines if it weren't for BCA laying the groundwork, but we also never would have anything else (TTL, Finishing Moves/Final Count, R3, RA, CS, both MAs, BNB, etc) had BCA continued as the predominant figure line into the 2000s. BCA would have become archaic by the year 2000 if Jakks had stuck with the same model, and honestly I'm kind of happy that it didn't last very long. It still has a nostalgia about it without being too dated. The short run also makes things a hell of a lot easier when you're rebuilding a collection like I am. Speaking of which, I had one of my better eBay buys last night. I won a MOC Signature Series 2 B.A. Billy Gunn with regular blue knee pads for $4 shipped. I have the purple knee pad variant figure, so this was definitely one of my top wants from this list.

I hated TTL's, especially when they first came out and BCA's started to disappear. But I'll admit that I started to buy TTL's after they began doing the Real Scan heads. Some of those looked spot on. But I don't think I ever played with any of my TTL's. I bought my Real Scan TTL's to collect and continued playing with my BCA's.

I hated the first TTL figs with a passion. I liked the accesories, playsets and the entrance music technology but hated the figures. But one they started adding the extra arm articulation and started using the real scan technology i warmed up to them and actually liked them ALOT more then BCAs. However if i had to pick between the two now i'd definately go with BCAs

My favorite figures/set is my Signature Sounds series 1 set. It came with minature boom boxes that played each wrestler's theme song. My boom boxes still work, its pretty cool. It was a part of the real scan line that came out, I believe prior to the TTL figures. Not sure if it has BCA, but these are by far my favorite Jakks figures. Haven't seen another set online in a long while.

I'm starting to go through all my stuff preparing for a move, and I started looking through a box that I kept all my old wrestling figures in. I got rid of the hundreds of figures I had collected between Bca, TTL, RA, and hasbro. I only kept a few of each after I finished highschool. But I was bored so I bused out a quick match with the first Shawn Michaels vs Mankind in the mattel ESR. I fully forgot how incredibly awesome BCA's were. I only kept the first 8 that I had bought, but I fully want to focus more on getting good condition figures of my favorite figures from the early few series.

Just saw the Backlash series Shawn Michaels figure at The Great Escape in Bowling Green KY. Its the Shawn figure in his Texas tights and black chaps. He's still in package, but the package has alot of wear. They've got it marked $2.99.

Now, I just had this exchange with a seller on eBay and you tell me whether or not this guy is a dick. Me: By the way, the listing is for three MOC Jim Cornette, Jim Ross and Sgt. Slaughter figures from Ringside Collection Series 2. The price is about $4.50 per MOC figure, so not too bad. Here was the seller's response (with mere hours left until the listing ends, currently with NO bids): "..."

I would have bought it, but I've already got one loose So he didn't even answer your question. All he put was "Sorry NO Thanks"? Did he not want to sell the figure?

That's what I was thinking. Someone on this board bought a few of his auctions and I hope the seller delivers on them, but he was of no help to me whatsoever. By the way, it must have been "War Tony" lol.

I've recently went wild purchasing BCA figures. In the last few days, I've purchased 55 BCA figures and counting. I will post pics in this thread as soon as I recieve them. I can't wait!
I've owned/own wrestling figures from just about every wrestling figure line ever produced and NONE of them have ever come close to the playablitly of the BCA line. Also, in the earlier series, Jakks produced some of the most accurate head sculpts ever produced by any line. Razor, Diesel, Warrior, Bret Hart, and Shawn Michaels were dead on long before the scan process was created.

-- Playbility wise, BCA rules!
I just wish every other line that came after, remained 6" like the BCAs were. It was pretty lame when a TTL Scotty 2 Hottie went up against a BCA HHH, Scotty towered him. That 1/2" difference always upset me, and that was the 1 reason why I didn't like the TTL, RA, CS series... they wern't compatible with BCAs, unless you had RA Nash vs. BCA HBK, or TTL Taker vs. BCA Austin.
The 2002 BCA versions were cool due to the realscan, but they too were too big for the original BCAs.

So, I think he came through.

Totally different line.
