Not particularly, no. Unless you consider maybe $50 a lot of money, and even then we're talking an overpriced box set (maybe Perfect 10?) or exclusive 2-pack (Bret/Owen or Razor/Diesel). Speaking of money, I just bought something related to the BCA line. Image won't show, so here's a link.The Special Edition Slammers Autographed box set was a JCPenney Mail-In Exclusive way back when, and now I've added it to my collection of BCA boxed sets. Shipping costs made up more than half the final amount, but I ended up paying $10.54 shipped for it. Under $12 was my goal, so I guess I succeeded in that regard.

It's because of the action feature that was used for the Slammers Series 1 Goldust and Mankind figures. If it weren't for the obtrusive peg on the back, I really wouldn't have minded the added articulation in the elbows for the regular BCA figures.

I LOVED the Slammers Mankind, because of the way he could be ragdolled. You could throw him out of the ring and he'd always land in a horribly painful position. I "updated" his look with toilet paper shirts (which I loved since they could be ripped apart mid match with no care). Even after I got the later Mankinds with molded shirts, I still stuck to using the Slammers one because of how stuntman he could be. I think Mankind and the Shotgun Saturday Night repaint of Shawn Michaels were the only Slammers I ever owned.

So Slammers were like Mattel FlexForce figures? How bad did they warm shelves? not bad from what I can recall. Flexforce figs are molded in a different plastic and have poor paint jobs. These used as much of the original molds as they could. My guess is that the first series didn't sell well, because they did something pretty smart w/ series 2. The 2nd series was full of figures that weren't in the regular BCA line. If u wanted Brian Pillman, The Patriot, Taka Michinoku, Kane, Dude Love and a non-mullet HBK u had to buy these. At the time getting Slammers series 2 Kane was a big deal. HBK and Kane saw re-releases but the other figures were exclusive to this line. [STOMP brian pillman shouldn't count as those figs had no designs] Imagine if Mattel did that w/ Flexforce? btw this still works www.ringsidecollectibles.com/JakksFigures/Slammers2.html

I always wondered why my Pillman and Kane had a plastic lever on their back. Were the Slammer and STOMP the only Pillman figures Jakks produced?

I've gotten a couple BCA Dr Deaths and started repainting one out of boredom the other day. It's going to a friend for his mantle, so nothing too fancy, just repainting to be in the Oklahoma singlet. Might be doing a custom Papa Shango out of a Kama as well.
Has anyone else on the board done custom BCAs? I know there's links of figures from past customizers but just curious if anyone is still on here?
