Chicago- Thanks for the breakdown. It must be a lower-half variant because it doesn't have the logos. However, it is the same leg mold as that figure. My question is this now, which figure do you think it is a variant of? The Fully Loaded or the Backlash release? My guess would be the Fully Loaded..... I guess there is a small possibility of it being a custom or modification as well being that this figure was bought loose by me. However, I can't imagine anyone taking the time to do this. But, it certainly is a possibiliy. But, it doesn't look to be the case. I remember at one time having a Test like the one you're talking about. Not sure where I got it though.

Definitely Fully Loaded Series 2, if it in fact is a variant (as you've said, customization is always a possibility with loose figures).

I don't know about a TV news story (though I'm sure there were many at the time), but this web site has always had the most info on the Al Snow Road Rage Tour Series figure controversy: alsnowshead02.tripod.com/toystory.htmlI made a post somewhere in this thread about SNL's "Weekend Update" referencing the story, and here's the screen cap I took of it while I was watching a re-run: Edit: They got it wrong, too, as SNL used a pic of the Signature Series 5 figure (with no Head in sight).

It definitely brings a smile to my face to see anyone open that many MOC BCA figures in the year 2012. I'd like for it to be me, but then again I don't really have the room lol. Nice buys all around, and I'll be expecting this amount every week from now on.

I've got another smaller lot of 12 or so incomming, but after that I think I am done buying the large bulk lots and focusing on filling in the missing pieces to complete this collection. Pretty much missing all of the rare pieces still. Warriors, Razors, Executioner to name a few.

I've never heard of it either.
Find out which Bret Hart figure it is if you can. I would want to know if it's Superstars Series 1, Series 2 or Slammers Series 1?
Because, if it does exist, it could have come as part of a Monster Ring bundle which is something JCPenney or Sears would have sold in their holiday catalog.

cleaning out my closets. Found all my old BCA's. I never realized how many I had.
I still remember the first time I saw them in Wal-Mart. I bought Diesel and HBK. Then a little while later Razor and Bret.
those TTL figures killed it for me. I bought like 4 of them. After that I bought some AWA's and Hasbro's. Then quit collecting wrestling figs.
Until this week.... I saw the Big Boss Man elite 14 and nostalgia took over and I bought him. Today I bought Macho King.
I'm making a list of all my old figs....so hopefully I can sell them and justify spending like $40 on 2 figures. I remember BCA's were like $5. It's mind blowing how much these Mattel figs cost.

Back in 1997 Vader attacked a tv show host. I remember this being talked about for awhile on raw every week especially by Jerry Lawler. And I remember on an episode of Raw Jerry Lawler held up a vader bca figure. And the figures bubble displayed jail bars as if Vader was in a jail cell. And Jerry made some crazy remark as he always did back then. I always wondered if that Vader with that packaging was ever released. This had to be around the time series 4 was hitting shelves. Was there a packaging variant for Vader?

would $36 for the Survivor Series 4 Pack be a good deal?

would $36 for the Survivor Series 4 Pack be a good deal? That's not a bad price. I've seen it sell recently for $80 plus shipping MOC.

Very interesting. It almost looks like a factory error to me. I've never seen something like that.
