So what I thought was a MINT MOC Jeff Jarrett Superstars 6 figure I had won, half the bubble is off when I got it. Title says it was MINT but the pictures show it was off the card. Only cost £5 including postage anyways.

Only cost £5 including postage anyways. I don't know about any of you, but I think Superstars Series 6 Jeff Jarrett would have gone over better had it been released in, say, 1994/95 instead of 1998. From what I remember, his look had changed after returning in late '97 to the WWF (The Aztec Era), but he did revert back to wearing the white "Double J" outfit in '98 before cutting his hair. Does anyone know the time period from when the above picture may have been taken? Because I still often wonder why Jakks went with the Series 6 attire (probably because of multiple color options) instead of the more common white gear.

I'd say its around 1995/96. I also do agree why it was left so late. Just a quick question. What seires are these two Goldust in? After looking at the mini reviews on chicago blog, I'm confused. Its under the Signature Series 1 Goldust mini review.

The one on the left is a re-release Series 1 with black trim added on a Superstars 3 Card & the one on the right is a re-release Signature Series 1 without the Signature from Best Of 1997 Series 2 witch was released on the WWE Superstars Card

^ Exactly, and my apologies for the mix-up. jakksbca.blogspot.com/2012/01/know-your-bcas-3-what-to-buy-consider.htmlWas it from this post? If so, I should have worded it better. Superstars Series 1 Goldust (an official repaint that was released later on the Series 3 card) is on the left, and the Best of '97 Series 2 Goldust (a re-release of the Signature Series 1 figure, sans the facsimile signature) is on the right.

Thats the one. Thanks for clearing it up. I was really curious on the second as there was no series number.

I've been going through my collection & am irriated that Brian Christopher is bigger than the Hawk/Animal molds. Really annoyed with their sizes. Especially when with some superstars were changed (Austin, Rock, HHH, Taker, etc...), but obviously bc they were the top wrestlers, but Im just irritated. Plus others have been that weren't the top guys: Kurrgan, Jeff Jarrett, Ken Shamrock, NAO, and even D-Lo Brown drastically grew in size (Vader's mold)
Also, anyone collect that have any wants to finish a collection? I have 1 version of almost every BCA available except: Jaquelin, Kama (NOD), Jakyll, & Honky Tonk Man.
I'd like to keep this thread alive!! BCA's are the best line to play with. I started when Series 1 came out & I was hooked right away!

Brian Christopher is the biggest travesty in the entire BCA line.
Not only did we never get a Scott Taylor BCA figure to complete "Too Much", but the Christopher figure we got is horribly oversized and roided up beyond belief.
It is one of the worst full body sculpts (and that includes the head) considering the size of the figure if proportioned to the real-life wrestler. Not to mention, as you've said, he towers over guys like Kane and 'Taker and he was a freaking cruiserweight/light heavyweight!
As for my collection, I've got one of every person in the BCA line, but I'm still after multiple repaints and variants of figures before I can ever consider my collecting days over.

I recently traded for some BCA figures, although its for my Triple H collection. I decided to get the Slammers Mankind, I had Dude Love years ago. But wow what a werid figure that is. I didn't expect both arms to have action. I thought it was similar to Dude Love. But over all it is a awesome figure and now I have to get a couple more DX figures and I'll be finished with the BCA era.

I think the last Scotty too Hotty scan would work well on another Brian Lawler to complete the set. I've never seen it done but I have seen RA scans on BCA figures in the past so I can't see why it wouldn't work in this case.

Has anyone ever made a Hulk Hogan to go in there collection? I used the Toybiz one growing up but I always wanted a BCA Hogan. Also I know they are rare, but has anyone ever repainted the BCA Diesel and Razor into Hall and Nash?

Just some questions. What was the point of the Signature Series? Wasnt they just BCA figures with a signature on them?
Secondly, regarding both the Goldust figures. Was there a reason why they re-released seires 1 on series 3 card? and did they do this with any other series?
Lastly, the Best of '97 Series, was these just the figure in a new box with no re-paints?

Was there a reason why they re-released seires 1 on series 3 card? and did they do this with any other series? Lastly, the Best of '97 Series, was these just the figure in a new box with no re-paints? 1. The Signature Series introduced the first street gear Austin figure (in "Austin 3:16" shirt and blue jeans) to the BCA line, as well as the first significant Goldust repaint, and the first singles release of Road Warrior Animal and Hawk, all in just the first series alone. The facsimile signatures were the major selling points along with the possibility of repaints and re-releases for figures that collectors may have missed out on the first time around. Also, it's very common in other figure lines to have a Signature Series, and it remains a viable alternative line (as we've seen with Mattel WWE figures to this day). 2. The reason for re-releasing Goldust, as far as I would know, is because Jakks must have known it would sell based on Series 1 sales figures. If not, it could have been requested by a higher-up to add another familiar name to the Series 3 line-up. They re-released the same Series 1 Diesel figure on a Series 3 card, and that makes even less sense considering Nash was long gone from the company by then. 3. Yes, the Best of '97 (and '98) Series were strictly re-releases from previous assortments, except on a different card backing.

I collect only RA/CS and my collections theme is WWF 1985-1996.
I have a been making RA versions of LJN and Hasbros, and am wondering what BCA figure attired have not been made in CS form?
You guys are passionate about this line, and I'd like to pay tribute to this line by making RA versions of every character in the BCA line up until 1996.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Well, the BCA line did not launch until midway through the year 1996, so that will certainly limit the number of figures produced from early Jakks. Unless, of course, you would extend the year of release into 1998, then more names may be added to the list (who were on the WWF's roster in 1996). If so, the following names would qualify ( bold = names that were actually released as BCA figures in 1996): Ahmed Johnson Bret HartBrian Pillman British Bulldog Bob Backlund (managing The Sultan) Cameraman (obviously) Clarence Mason Crush DieselThe Executioner Faarooq Flash Funk GoldustHeadbanger Mosh Headbanger Thrasher Henry O. Godwinn Hunter Hearst Helmsley "Double J" Jeff Jarrett Jerry "The King" Lawler Jim Cornette Jim "JR" Ross Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw Mankind "Wildman" Marc Mero Mark Henry Marlena Owen HartPaul Bearer Phineas I.
