I found a Skull or 8-Ball figure the other day and the top of his head had a black spot. Is that part of the figure to resemble hair or wear and tear on my end? It was the figure with black attire in the second picture above. They were both completely bald, so that's wear. On a side note, is there a way to tell them apart? I received one of them in a bulk lot of figures and I'm not sure which one I have.

My bald DOA guy has black on top of his head too! As far as I know it's not from wear or tear.

Interesting! Never knew that they did that to tell them apart.

Skull was released in a "Best of" Series and has a white t shirt on under his jacket. 8 Ball came in 2 Tuff Series 1 with Chainz and has just a jacket. I know this because I have both on card. That same "Best of" series also had the only single card release of Dan Severn (he was in a 2 pack with shamrock) and also had a repaint of Brian Christopher (from 2 Tuff Series 2.

Best of '98 Series 1 features Skull's only BCA figure, in a white t-shirt with black vest and worn black jeans. 8-Ball's "Best of '98" figure is a 2 Tuff Series 1 re-release in all-black attire. Chainz and 8-Ball, besides debuting in 2 Tuff Series 1 with all-black attire, could also be found as repaints in DTA Tour Series 1 with black vests and light blue/acid wash jeans. (From L-R: 2 Tuff 1 8-Ball, DTA Tour 1 Chainz, 2 Tuff 1 Chainz, DTA Tour 1 8-Ball, Best of '98 1 Skull) Also, for the record, Severn had two singles releases (all in the same plain black trunks look). Shortly after Best of '98 Series 2 was issued, there was a KB Exclusive Special Edition Series 3 figure. Christopher came with Best of '98 Series 1, along with the random inclusion of Blackjack Bradshaw, of all people...

Yeah I always forget about those Walmart DTA, KB and kmart exclusive series. I didnt buy any of those other than a few Kmart Livewire Series 1 figures. I avoided those series because they were littered with repeats. I would only go there for the exclusives like dta 2 Blazer, Special Edition Yokozunas (KB) and the exclusive box sets they would get.

If you were a MOC collector of the BCAs then you would clearly have many repaints just because of all the various MOC packaging.

Was there a Bret Hart in all black released in the line?

That reminds me...in order from most to least wanted, what Hart Foundation-related alternatives would you have liked to have seen in the BCA line?
Bret Hart in all-black attire Owen Hart with short hair in his Hart Foundation attire British Bulldog in blue jeans from his 1999 WWF run Brian Pillman with no Slammers peg feature Jim Neidhart, who had no BCA figure at all
For me, I'd probably rank it as such:
1. Jim Neidhart (How could you not want him to complete the Hart Foundation in BCA figure form?) 2. Brian Pillman (I like the Slammers 2 figure, but an original BCA figure would have been preferred) 3. British Bulldog (His 1999 run wasn't spectacular, but another Bulldog repaint in the BCA line would be welcomed) 4. Owen Hart (If only Jakks accurately depicts Owen in short hair, as the Superstars 6 head was disastrous) 5. Bret Hart (The all-black look is an easy fix-up with two Series 1/2 figures, so this is low on my list of BCA Hart Foundation-based priorities)

For the Hart Foundation stuff, I would go with...
British Bulldog in tights! The blue and red ones, like he wore at In Your House in April 97 when he and Owen faced the LOD.
Owen with the short hair and the Hart Foundation attire is a must!
An all black Bret Hart would be good too.
Jim Neidhart in the black top and pink bottoms for sure.
Brian Pillman in just a normal BCA style figure.
And in a sweet box set....
Bret in the LJ, shirt and shorts, Owen in black jeans and shirt, Davey in blue jeans and shirt, Pillman in black jeans, shirt and vest, and Anvil in black jeans and shirt.
That would have been a sweet box set!!

Never understood why we didnt get a Neidhart BCA figure. Would also to have liked to have seen Jake Roberts BCA. Would also to have liked to have had more sets of those Legends and Ripped and Ruthless figures. Also a Chainsaw Charlie BCA. I was pretty impressed by the BCA line in general though. They had a large variety of different sets that came out all the time. Superstars line, 2 packs, S.T.O.M.P, Signature Series, Ringside Series, all the various 4 packs, it was hard to keep up at times!

I always thought it was weird how there was a Chainsaw Charlie in the mini-figures line, but not in the BCA line.

That Brian Pillman STOMP figure was hideous, one of the worst head sculpts ever

My newest BCA buys, courtesy of eBay just now. I saw a low bid on MOC BCA figures and I couldn't resist. It only cost $17.14 shipped for the complete set of Superstars Series 9, or about $2.86 per MOC figure. I still needed Series 9 'Taker and could use doubles of The Brood and Holly, so not a bad deal for me.

Nice! I remember liking that Big Show figure because it's HUGE compared to other BCAs. Of course, it was made of hard plastic and had no bone crunching sounds though.
I liked the one with the referee shirt too. I think it came in a KB exclusive boxed set.
