I often attempted many customs that were conceived better on paper than in reality , but having that outlet for creativity and a carefree nature left me with many lasting memories from my childhood. I don't know how else to convey it to others, but collecting and playing with wrestling figures, especially of the BCA variety, was once a big part of my life and I never regret a dollar or minute spent on the hobby. I completely agree!! About the creativity outlet, I started and restarted a Raven custom from about a thousand figures before ECW had their own line. And when I was able to actually BUY a Raven I still wanted a BCA Raven so all my toys 'matched'. Even though it's just a mess of sculpey and unmatching limbs it made sense to me then and also helped me to look at toys and pieces and faces in different ways. I couldn't agree more with the lack of regrets. It's one of the best and most important parts of my childhood. ;D

How many Big Bossman figures were there? I think there were only 2 Bossman BCA figures. Superstars Series 8, which was the Corporate Series, and 2 Tuff Series 4 with Steve Austin. I believe they were both exactly the same figure. Series 8 came with a nightstick and 2 Tuff came with a nightstick and black hood. He may have come in one of the KB Backlash sets as well, but I'm not 100% sure of that.

There's actually a few more. In the post BCA Backlash series, they did one with gray sleeves and one with blue sleeves. There might be another obscure re-release somewhere, but I don't know off the top of my head.
EDIT: Oh yeah, that Hardcore boxset had a Bossman with the Hardcore title.

There was also a signature series Bossman with the glossy paint and signature on his thigh.
With that being said, anyone know why they started adding the glossy paint to all of the signature series figures in the later sets? I personally liked it, but I could see where some people wouldn't like it.

I'm sure this has been brought up a few times in this thread, but I am going to bring it up again....I dug my BCA figures out of storage earlier this week and displayed them. I set them up by tag teams and stables. When I came to the Hart Foundation, it just made me feel like the BCA line was never completed because we never got a Jim Neidhart. That figure would have looked so awesome next to Bret, Owen, Bulldog, and Pillman.

Also, last night I got the itch to add some new figures to my BCA collection since I haven't added anything in almost a year. I bought ten new figures that I didn't have and one of them was this one: www.EBAY LINK NOT ALLOWED/itm/160810495580?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 Does anyone know what set this is from?

Special Edition Series 6, which was exclusive to KB Toys stores. This is actually one that I still need for my collection; it's basically the same as the 2 Tuff Series 5 Rock figure except with "Rock Bottom" on the front instead of the Brahma Bull logo.

Anyone remember the story line that went with the Austin/Bossman set? Why was a mask included? It was a GREAT accesorie in the line and glad they included it, but I just don't seem to remember why. Can anyone help?

Big Bossman wore a ski mask when he first returned. And after beating Austin down he revealed himself.

Hey jrjumpshot, rumour has it that you 'sold' some BCAs to people on this forum and they never got them, but you kept their money?? That's real nice of ya man, I am guessing you are displaying the BCAs that they bought off of you too??
Remind me to never do business with you, you should have a bad trader list next to your name.

That's fine if you don't want to do business with me. The reason why I don't have a bad trader tag is because I was able to provide proof that my end was sent. Plus, I offered replacement figures to him and he didn't want them. Know both sides of the story before you start posting things like this.

Bossman's ski mask is definitely one of the more underrated BCA accessories. What do you guys think are any others, meaning accessories from the BCA line that you don't often hear about but you think were essential to any collection?

I guess it wasn't so much "underrated", but I personally liked the earlier model of ladder used much better than the later model they come up with. I liked the first one better because the figure could actually stand on it.

Also, now that I am thinking about it, I really liked the wooden crates. I also liked those launching stands that came with an attitude ring.
