I might have to pickup a mattel ring now for my fig fed. Eh, I would think it's a little cramped, and the bouncing mat isn't for some people (think using a Stunt Action Ring). If I were to start a fed again, I have several options but none that are clear-cut favorites for an optimal BCA figure ring. Monster Ring = Great mat space, but customization needed for (much smaller) scale. Attitude Ring = Good mat space, but customization needed for (slightly larger) scale. Hardcore Ring = Similar mat space as Attitude Ring (slightly less), but again customization needed for (slightly larger) scale. Real Scale Ring = Way too much mat space, and customization needed for (much smaller) scale. It's a dilemma, to say the least.

I am thinking of trying to get the old wcw ring that came with the ljn style figures. I used to have one and it worked perfect for bca figures.

I've wanted to get that again (mainly for the red cage), but I remember it being a cheap ring with a hard mat.
Those LJN-esque figures were also really big in the ring, and you could hear those bumps from a mile away lol.
Oh, and I think I might try the Real Scale Ring (from before ^).

Best of luck in your surgery, fallbrawl; I hope everything turns out okay.
I'll most likely use my WrestleMania 2 RSR, as well, but I'm missing a part or two so I'll have to bring back my RSR Version 1/2 hybrid ring for my BCA fed.
I'm thinking of starting up the night after a big WrestleMania-type PPV, and I'm debating whether or not to load some WWF entrance themes to my iPod for an added flare to the shows.
I'll probably go with weekly "Superstars" shows until I figure out a PPV schedule.

I still often wonder why Jakks felt that making TTLs and stopping BCAs was gonna be a smart and wise move to do. I never hear anyone say anything good about TTLs and yet BCAs still have so much love after all these years.

I still often wonder why Jakks felt that making TTLs and stopping BCAs was gonna be a smart and wise move to do. I never hear anyone say anything good about TTLs and yet BCAs still have so much love after all these years. Plenty of people have nice things to say about the TTL line, just not about the early days. Titan Tron Live prior to the introduction of Real Scan technology was garbage and hardly anyone would refute that point. However, the quality of the figures improved with Real Scan, better paint applications to the faces and gear (i.e. Jakks' budget expands, most likely), and added articulation to the elbows. The reason that BCA gets so much love is because, well, we have a dedicated following in this thread and on this board, though it pales in comparison to LJN and Hasbro. I would bet that TTL and R3 will get there in the next two-three years, if they're not there already and I just don't know it. The switch from BCA to TTL was a smart business move as the times were changing (New Millenium = access to new, and some might say better, technology) and Jakks Pacific didn't want to be left behind. I can't blame them for that, and I'd go so far as to say I'd commend them for bringing us TTL, Finishing Moves, R3, RA, Classic Superstars, DA, BNB, etc. all of which could not have been possible with the continuation of the original Bone Crunching Action figures in late 1999. I like the BCA line the way it is, even if that means including the newer BCA figures from the early 2000s despite their lack of similarity (taller, slimmer identical molds with new Real Scan heads).

I just never thought the TTLs moved as easily as the BCAs did. It was hard to have the early TTL figures do simple moves like a leg drop, or piledriver. Luckily the RAs definitely were a huge improvement and made it fun to collect again.

I didn't know calf implants were back in style I've thought about starting a fed again (after many failed attempts), but it has nothing to do with WrestleMania this year. This time lol it would be based on active competitors from the WWF in the year 1996. Basically, any WWF wrestler that was around in '96 in some capacity qualifies. Excluding personnel figures, my roster consists of 33 names, including the likes of: Ahmed Johnson, Bret Hart, Brian Pillman, British Bulldog, Crush, Diesel, The Executioner, Farooq, Flash Funk, Goldust, The Godwinns, The Headbangers, HHH, Jeff Jarrett, Jerry Lawler, Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw, Mankind, "Wildman" Marc Mero, Mark Henry, Owen Hart, Razor Ramon, Rocky Maivia, Savio Vega, Shawn Michaels, Sid Justice/Vicious, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Sultan, Ultimate Warrior, The Undertaker, Vader and Yokozuna. Guys like Billy Gunn and Road Dogg who hadn't established a BCA-ready gimmick by the end of '96 aren't being considered. I don't know what all I would be doing with the fed, meaning if it will text-based or an actual figure fed (pic fed is REALLY doubtful), but my first big PPV/event would probably look like this: 1. Farooq & Crush (more like The APA than The Nation) vs. Sid & Ahmed - Grudge Tag Team Match 2. Owen Hart & British Bulldog vs. Razor Ramon & Savio Vega (a.k.a. "The Bad Guyz") - WWF Tag Team Championship Match (Finals of a Tag Title Tournament?) 3. Yokozuna vs. Vader - Some sort of gimmick match (Bodyslam?) 4. Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs. Rocky Maivia - WWF Intercontinental Championship Match 5. Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Brian Pillman - Street Fight 6. Goldust vs. Ultimate Warrior - Grudge Match (Mankind might be involved in this feud) 7. Diesel vs. The Undertaker - Grudge Match/#1 Contender for WWF Championship 8. Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels - WWF Championship Match And that's all I've got for now. In other news, my BCA fed is still "under construction" but I'm making headway with a backstory and upcoming PPV schedule. I've never really attempted a backstory with any of my previous feds, but this one begins and ends with the results to one event (WrestleMania) which precedes the actual start of my fed. This will lead into my very first PPV (King of the Ring, following the WWF's format) several weeks down the road. Here are/were the results of the fictional WrestleMania:*Bret Hart (c) def HBK by submission in the Sudden Death stage of their Iron Man Match for the WWF Championship (akin to WMXII, except the outcome is different). Bret locks in the Sharpshooter on HBK's injured left knee and secures the victory with less than a minute to spare. Prior to HBK's title shot, he would have been a long-reigning Intercontinental Champion who was forced to vacate his belt in order to challenge for Bret's WWF Championship at WrestleMania. With that said, a 15-Man Over the Top Rope Battle Royal will take place at the beginning of my first show ("WWF Superstars") to determine the new Intercontinental Champion. Back to WrestleMania...*The Tag Team Championship was decided in a Fatal Four Way as The Smoking Gunns (c) def The Bodydonnas, Owen/Bulldog, and Razor/Savio. However, since there were no Smoking Gunns or Bodydonnas figures made in the BCA line, the belts will also be vacated in lieu of news that The Smoking Gunns fled to WCW and The Bodydonnas headed out to ECW the day after WrestleMania. This means that a special 8-team tournament for the Tag Team Championship will be held, beginning with my first show and featuring these BCA figure teams (ignore the numbering, that's just for show): (1) Farooq & Crush vs. (8) The Headbangers (4) Razor Ramon & Savio Vega ("The Bad Guyz") vs. (5) Jeff Jarrett & Jerry Lawler ("Country Kings") (3) Flash Funk & "Wildman" Marc Mero ("Wild N' Funky") vs. (6) Owen Hart & British Bulldog (2) Sid Justice & Ahmed Johnson vs. (7) The Godwinns Other 'Mania moments...*Undertaker def Sycho Sid (who will undergo a face change to Sid Justice not too long after I begin the fed) by pinfall *Ultimate Warrior def Diesel by DQ (Diesel lays out Warrior with some vicious chair shots to be disqualified) *Farooq & Crush def Flash Funk & "Wildman" Marc Mero by pinfall *Ahmed Johnson def Goldust by pinfall *Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Brian Pillman ends in a No Contest after brawling ensues into the 'Mania crowd *Vader/Yokozuna stare each other down after Yoko disperses of Jarrett & Lawler in a Special Attraction Handicap Match *Rocky Maivia def Hunter Hearst Helmsley (in the 'Mania opener) by pinfall
Oh, and my BCA fed's PPV schedule is really no different than a simplified WWF set-up from the 1990s: *Royal Rumble in January (RR Match Winner gets WrestleMania WWF title shot) *WrestleMania in March/April (Blow-off to all major feuds since SummerSlam) *King of the Ring in June (KOTR Tournament Winner gets SummerSlam WWF title shot) *SummerSlam in August (Mid-year Blow-off to feuds) *In Your House in September/October (Alliances for Survivor Series are formed here) *Survivor Series in November (Seeds of Rumble feuds are planted here) Also, I haven't decided if In Your House will have a special theme to it or if it will be an annual supercard (meaning, everyone on the roster is featured). And that's pretty much it for now.

hopefully you still have all your teeth fallbrawl lol
BCA's was awesome and when the TTL figures came around is when I stopped collecting wrestling figures.
as for the brock bca, its actually about an inch taller then regular bca's. the head is the best thing about the figure. if you could find a decent stone cold black trunks figure you could do a easy head swap and make an awesome bca brock lesner!
