whats with those bca alien wrestlers the same seller as the proto razor put up? and was that ripped and ruthless hhh ever actually released? Yeah, I've been in contact with the seller and I know all about them. Terry Lattimer, the man behind the BCA line, is selling these from his personal collection, but they have no official ties to Jakks Pacific or the BCA line. He designed these custom BCA prototypes for a prospective buyer in the late 1990s, but they weren't satisfied with the result and he got stuck with them. These were made from many leftover Superstars Series 1 Goldust parts; the heads, however, were all original sculpts made by Lattimer himself. He's had them in storage for over 15 years and only recently were they listed for the first time to see if there is any kind of interest among the collecting community. So, it's not surprising then that many of you haven't seen these, as I'm sure even he forgot these existed. It looks like he's listed them individually now for much less. Triple H was released in Ripped and Ruthless Series 2 alongside HBK, Kane and Sable. The pre-production sample that is currently for sale (with HBK) has a lighter shade of blueish-gray tights than the finished product.

Does anyone else think it sucks that we missed out on a Mideon figure or a Bradshaw/Faarooq Acolyte 2-pack? I remember seeing protos of them that someone snagged on here but I believe they were in their APA gear weren't they? Ministry set-ups just aren't complete with these guys.

Well, yeah, those were the newer style BCA figures that you saw, but it is a shame that neither were made in their respective MOD attires for the original BCA line.
A Ministry of Darkness 4-pack was planned for the fall of 1999 which would have included 'Taker, Viscera and the Acolytes, but it was scrapped. It would have been a great collector's item, if only for the new versions of Bradshaw and Faarooq.
Knowing Jakks, the Undertaker and Viscera figures would have been re-releases of their 2 Tuff Series 5 pack.

I wish I would of had the funds to purchase the Ripped and Ruthless Prototype Triple H. He would made a great addition to my Triple H collection. The Cammo Carnage Triple H still eludes me I've seen a few but the prices just aren't right.

A small glimpse of my original BCA collection Customs made by BWM2k .. He also made a Rhyno and Hogan for me but for whatever reason 10+ years ago I didn't like them. I wish I had bought them now.. Customs I bought on eBay many years ago that came in a lot Random people from my roster. This is the first time in a while I've inspected my figures, its a shame Tommy from Power Rangers got discolored. He was often my IC champ. The army guy was known as "The Soldier" in my fed and rarely lost. Figures that fit in well with BCA. At the time of the fed it was what I used, Toy Biz didn't have very many options in their roster That very Undertaker was one of the first two BCA's I ever purchased. The Patriot might be my favorite BCA of all time. And if any of you really played with your BCAs, it wasn't uncommon to lose a limb Razor vs Custom Razor Prototype Undertaker that I got from Detective Conan for selling my old website to him. It was supposed to be a steady flow of prototypes, but he screwed me and many others. Maybe some day I'll remember where I put the arm! And pretty soon I'll have resin prototypes of Razor Ramon, Bret Hart, and Undertaker. In addition, 5 of the Alien Wrestling Federation figures with BCA carding cool customs. I really like the Razor and Perfect customs. Who is the guy in the pics with the custom Warrior? Yep thats the Edge I was talking about. Great figure.

Perfect, RVD and Ramon are very nice pieces, and it's great to see you got extensive use out of them since they were made.
Razor having Series 4 HHH/Series 5 Maivia parts is unusual, but it came out looking so much better than the Series 1 figure to its left.
Congrats again on nabbing the Alien BCA figure customs; those would make for an interesting conversation piece lol.

It sold for $76. Is that average for a prototype?

I can't believe how low these one of a kind, almost 20 year old figures are selling for.. selling lower than new Mattel figures that will soon flood the marketplace. it's somewhat baffling. why would you want to spend all your cash on a Kevin Nash figure that everyone has.. when you could get a Scott Hall figure that is ONE OF A KIND IN THE WORLD for around the same price?
