That's the one, yes! Thanks man, karma (+1 or -1? Your preference). If there's any way you can get a pic of the back, that'd be awesome as well

I remember these fondly. They were the first wrestling figures I got into since the original WWF figures in the mid-80s. I thought these guys were great. I remember getting the LOD when they came out. Thought it was great that they had their shoulder pads with em.

Highly underrated WWE figure line IMO.

If only Jakks were to continue making TNA figures in BCA form or at least in that scale. Why was there never a BCA Jake the Snake?

It was discussed for the last line up but no prototype or figure was ever produced. Then Jake the Snake left WWF because of his alcoholic problems.

For sure it is. So many fond memories of being a kid with these....I remember skipping school acting like I was sick just so I could play with these all day long.

If there's any way you can get a pic of the back, that'd be awesome as well I wish I could for ya, but this is an old picture..It was before I started taking pictures of the back of everything I listed online. If I get another I'll be sure to post some good pics!

I'll take pics of mine later, Haggar.
The WrestleMania XIV Series HBK is one of his more detailed BCA figures.
But, still, how much cooler would it have been to have HBK in his red DX gear (think the DTA Tour Series 1 figure) on WrestleMania XIV packaging?

Jakks made the Genesis TNA figures (similar to WWE's Havoc Unleashed).. They are pretty much in scale with BCA figures but they look kinda plain. It would work if you made a few head switches

Awesome pics. Thank you very much! Yeah, as great as it would have been to have a red Shawn on the WMXIV card, this figure was a favorite of mine for a long time. I, too, had the box set (some of my first BCAs ever). Great figure, seeing it again is great.

Yes, the vest is removable, but they are very flimsy at will rip easily so it is not reccomended.

Yeah, you've got to be very careful with them.
Why Jakks included them at all is beyond me; neither HBK nor Triple H ever wore anything resembling those cheap pleather vests.
If Austin can have three variations of the same cloth shirt, HBK or HHH could be afforded at least one cloth DX t-shirt.

Why didn't the managers, refs and females have the same features as the Wrestlers did?

Because I think Jakks viewed them as accessories to the main line of wrestling figures, and they knew that articulation was not necessary, nor was the intention of use for a similar style of play.
Who could have envisioned grueling, hard-fought bouts between Shawn Michaels and Marlena?
We should be glad that we received over 80 different characters in a line that lasted merely three years; I know I am, and I'll take the managers/refs/females in any way, shape or form.

MattyCollector.com recently shipped my order of Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson, so you know I had to try this out as soon as I opened them. Spiffy.
