jakksbca.blogspot.com/p/bca-checklist-work-in-progress.htmlSeries 3, 4, and 5 are a lock, but Series 1 and 2 are not quite as easy to differentiate. Since you've reminded me of it (even if for the 100th time ), I will look into this again to hopefully put this issue to rest.Oh, and I'll add the newer BCA style figures to my checklist soon. Edit: In case the link above doesn't work (which, for some reason, it hasn't worked since I just updated the page), use the quote window below as a reference. Click the hyperlinks for photos. I finally had a breakthrough while doing some late night research, and I have no doubts that these are the correct Backlash Series 1 and 2 assortments. Series 3 through 5 (posted above ^) have not been changed, but here are the revisions to Series 1 and 2 that I've added to my BCA checklist. By the way, as it turns out, the original BCA Backlash Series figures were also available at Family Dollar Dept. Stores in the Northeast U.S. from 2000-01. News broke of the Backlash line in early June of 2000. Reports indicated these figures were going to utilize the Real Scan technology of the time. All of the original BCA Backlash Series figures were produced in limited quantities, though I don't know any exact numbers. They were generally discounted to $3.99 (from $5.99) at KB Toys stores for most of their shelf life. WWF Backlash Series (KB Toys/Family Dollar Dept.

I always thought Boss Man's BCA sculpt was one of the best of the line and MUCH better than his Real Scan head, which bore an awful resemblance.

My only problem with the BCA Bossman were the legs. I never found on that would move right, I think part of it was that they were too straight were as most of the BCA figure legs had a slight bend at the knees and bowed out just a bit. Both made them more capable of doing the moves. Actually I think it was the 'straight leg syndrome' is what made Savio such a horrible figure and impossible to wrestle with. Come to think of it....Bossman, Savio, Sultan...all straight legged, and I didn't use them lol.

he could Boss Man Slam fine, hit people with the nightstick.. I adapted his rope leg drop to a running ass attack in the ropes during the Hasbro era, so that just carried over with BCA Boss Man. I used Boss Man a lot. I always wanted the ski mask that came with the Austin/Boss Man 2 pack, but didn't need ANOTHER Austin, and I got the signature series Boss Man first and just wiped off the signature (as I did with any signature series)

I tried to bring him into my federation a few times but never did get used to him. I think I used him as filler in the Rumble a few times.

I got my Boss Man through the Hardcore 4 pack that came out where every wrestler has a Hardcore belt.

they made all of DOA and NOD......why didn't they make Los Boriquas? [ From the Slammers Series 2 thread] Los Boricuas very well should have made an appearance in the BCA line, unless you count Savio Vega's Shotgun Series 1 repaint as a group representation. Savio's debut figure in Nation attire was released (in October '97) several months after both he and Crush were kicked out (in June '97) of the Nation of Domination. The Shotgun repaint didn't hit stores until April of 1998, which leads me to believe that the chances of a Los Boricuas stable being made in the BCA line were slim after the spring of '98. 2 Tuff Series 1 was released around that time and would have been the perfect venue for a Savio Vega/Miguel Perez 2-pack alongside DOA's first figures. Unfortunately for them, the line-up for 2 Tuff Series 1 was a hybrid of the previous Tag Team and Managers Series, and there wasn't room for Los Boricuas if there were existing plans to include two tag teams (DOA, Truth Commission) and two manager's sets (HHH/Chyna, Goldust/Marlena) in the first assortment. 2 Tuff Series 2 would arrive in the fall (October of '98), and by that time the group was a non-factor on WWF TV and may have even split entirely. I have heard rumors of a proposed Los Boricuas set (this was in November of '97), but there likely wasn't any truth to the rumors and it was all speculation. Jakks saw fit to produce all members of DOA and NOD, as you've mentioned, but likely skipped out on Los Boricuas due to mismanaged scheduling (timing is everything with this line, and I doubt they were ever even scheduled) and/or a general lack of interest (coming from the consumer's way, too). Developing new sculpts for all four members was not something I believe Jakks ever considered, and ultimately I think that was the hurdle that Los Boricuas would never overcome. If Savio, the leader of the group, couldn't get a second sculpt, the others had no chance at a first look. No, not to my knowledge. Thanks for responding to my fantasy suggestion, by the way; I appreciate the feedback. The Nation (of Domination) saw so much turnover in those days that it would have been nearly impossible for Jakks to produce a timely boxed set that would appeal to the average consumer (mainly children and their parents). If any of the later incarnations would have lasted three to six months longer on WWF TV, then it might have been a possibility. I wanted to update this post because I found a tidbit that I forgot I had on a proposed second Nation of Domination 4-pack. In January of 1998, Jakks was "definitely" considering a new set to be released in May or June of that year. The first Nation of Domination boxed set was released to Toys"R"Us stores in October '97, and rumor has it that it was produced in limited quantities with the intent to follow up on the changes made to the group in a second NOD set. It would have included Faarooq, Rocky Maivia, Kama Mustafa, and D'Lo Brown. Nothing more ever came of that rumor, but I would like to think there is some truth to it. I never heard rumors of Bariculas, but I did remember hearing of a Kaientai boxed set and also heard that Cactus Jack/Chainsaw Charlie were slated for 2 Tuff 2 but were replaced by Lawler/Christopher

Also for anyone starting up a BCA federation, the LOPW figures go really well with BCA's.
Can you please post a pic of LOPW alongside BCA's?

On Monday I ordered 2 Tuff series 1 Goldust and Marlena from Amazon for $6.48. Not too shabby in my opinion. I'll give the Goldust to My Nephews when they come up this week. I did the same thing with the Triple H from the 2 Tuff 2pack with Chyna with them. Would the BCA Goldust wig fit a Mattel Goldust?

Does anyone know how tall the BCA Chyna is in comparison to the new Mattel divas? I'm guessing she's shorter, but by how much, or is the head sculpt at least a similar size?

Thats a great 2 pack too, Marlena was probably one of the best BCA divas they did and that half dustin/goldust head on the figure is nice.

Goldust was unique I remember (and I may have already mentioned this at some point during this thread's 173 pages) I used to use Goldust and Jeff Jarrett as a tag team. The short haired 'Don't Tick Me Off' Jeff Jarrett as I didn't get the other Jeff Jarrett until years later. They were called Gold & Platinum, kinda playing off Jarrett's carrying around the guitar and his old 'singing' gimmick....although my Jeff Jarrett didn't sing. I had a lot of fun using them as a team.
