I remember seeing the Razor/Disesel 2pk @ the actual Puzzle Zoo store in Santa Monica. Does anyone know if the store is still there??? I went to a lot of KBs stores & never saw that there. I did see the Bret/Owen 2pk @ KB though.

The Bret Hart/Owen Hart KB 2 pack had a variation where Bret wasnt in all pink and had a repeat of his Series 1 or 2 figure in it.
Also did anybody collect those Playmates WWF figures that came out at the same time as the BCA line? The ones that came with 2 small figures and a ring were pretty neat. There was also deluxe Taker and Sid figures, I think they were bought out by Jakks because myn have Jakks stickers in the bottom right corner. They also had some small figures with big heads but never made the Andre or Austin ones I dont think.

I believe Playmates had a license to produce non-moveable and mini-figures, but they decided to stop making them at some point and sold the rest of their stock to Jakks.
I actually just bought a complete loose set of all 12 of the Grudge Match mini-figures made by Playmates for $19 shipped. They're all really cool looking and they're almost exactly the same size as Mattel Rumblers, so they fit in with them.

Playmates and Jakks shared the WWF license once upon a time. Jakks had the rights to produce traditional 6-inch figures, and Playmates covered products beneath three inches (Grudge Match playsets/Ring Masters mini-busts), above eight inches (Heroes of Wrestling sculpts), and anything else in between (Stretchin' stretch toys, 14-inch talking Undertaker). I have a few magazine scans of the Playmates line for those interested, but after this let's try and keep it to BCA figures.

Hahahaha, The last picture looks hilarious. Here's us ripping all of the girls for not being able to put on their make-up and our heros couldn't do it as adults (figures).

Someone on these boards has the prototype of the Bret Hart statue.

I'm going through the collection that I bought from rebel19 and I'm not sure if I have Skull or 8-Ball. Which one has the black "stubble" on the top of his head?

8-Ball was only released wearing a white top. Skull was the one released in black, with Chainz. They're the same figure except repainted. 8-Ball was in the DTA line that also seen The Patriot re-purposed to be The Blue Blazer.

Was there a lazier BCA figure than Right To Censor Val Venis? It came out in one of the KB Backlash sets. They gave him his same old long-haired head even though he had short hair for the entirety of his RTC run. And here's the worst part that I just noticed. I knew that his torso was the same as Series 1 Undertaker, but didn't realize until now that the shirt has the molded indentations on the front and back for Undertaker's hair!

Credit eBay seller 375hpsupersportcamaro for the loose pic.8-Ball debuted alongside Chainz in 2 Tuff Series 1, and was later repainted for the first DTA Tour series. The Blue Blazer figure was from DTA Tour Series 2, by the way. 8-Ball was available in the Best of '98 Series 1 set just as the lone Skull figure, but the clear difference between the two is the color of the undershirt. Credit eBay seller michdavi for the MOC pic.

Talking about the Playmates stuff really takes me back. The two pack series with rings were called Grudge Match and the tiny statues with big heads were Ringmasters. I've been trying to find a complete set of each for a decent price for a while with no luck. I do however own the 14" Talking Undertaker and both of the Sid & Taker Heroes Of Wrestling statues. They're f*cking AWESOME. Its a shame the Bret and Mankind ones weren't released. I would love to own the Mankind proto.

And i always wondered what was going on with the back of his shirt. Val's head was one of the worst BCAs out there. Maybe THE worst. I get that he could be described as a grinning, tanned porn star but he was still a white dude from Toronto with a little face stubble. He ended up looking like a middle eastern Brian Pillman. It was a huge disappointment because, as odd as it seems for a straight, pre-teenage boy, I really liked Val and would've liked a decent figure. Blehh..

Everything from Owen's singlet top/Jarrett's tank top, to both of them giving the double thumbs up! Did they ever make a Goodfather in that KB line? Nope. As far as I know, The Godfather was actually only released one time.

Twice as bad as using elbow padded arms / legs but painting them flesh toned because the wrestler didn't wear them. They make no pad arms and legs. Putting a stache and turning the eyebrows a bit lower is garbage.
