Actually, he worked for Jakks in the very beginning and was the man responsible for designing and sculpting the Bone Crunching Action figures. I've bought a few master prototypes from him, and I've had the pleasure of discussing the line with him on a few occasions. Here's a write-up of my first conversation with the man, Terry Lattimer. Chyna was definitely scheduled for R&R Series 3, as evidenced by the cast resin mold pictured above. I'm not too sure about Jakks' plans for Austin, but I do know that "Marvelous" Marc Mero, Ken Shamrock and "Black Hart" Owen Hart were considered, though no actual sculpts exist for these three.

I'd believe Owen, HHH, Chyna, and Austin. I have a hard time buying that they'd do a Ripped and Ruthless of Marc Mero, when those were a hard sell anyways

It was never used again.

Wow those are amazing, it's too bad we never got any of them besides the Triple H head sculpt. By the way, is that figure rare? I have never seen it before.

Now that is the Chyna I would have wanted instead of the ones we got.

The Special Edition variant is fairly rare. The Special Edition set was limited to KB Toys stores only, and it's a limited release of a limited release..

Well, technically the entire HHH sculpt was produced, but it's very likely that Chyna's sculpt would have put his to shame. The Special Edition Series 3 variant figure, exclusive to KB Toys stores in February '99, is hard to find and quite possibly a rare Jakks figure. I don't know how many of these were shipped in cases of Series 3, but I would guess there are several thousand that exist. I've only ever seen it listed MOC three or four times (loose maybe a time or two) on eBay in my years of browsing the site. I know I spent $12-13 shipped for mine, but it could be had for a lot less since most collectors aren't aware of its limited availability.

I will keep my eyes open for one when I'm browsing the BCA figures from now on. I parted ways with the majority of my Triple H collection however I wouldn't mind owning this version.

I would definitely recommend it for under $13-14 shipped.
It's a solid sculpt to go with the larger BCA HHH torso, but the ponytail on mine isn't secure and likely wouldn't be fit for play.

I know there are lots of cool characters and things that might get $3-$5 each, but is there any characters that actually command say $15 or higher loose?
Also packaged are there any boxed sets or singled/doubles that bring any real $?
Couple that come to mind are
Executioner (Terry Gordy) Diesel & Razor from the 2 pack Blazer (maybe?)
Love to here your thoughts and comments

Ultimate Warrior & Yokozuna was pretty rare for a while too.

Love to here your thoughts and comments There are no loose BCA figures that I would value at $15 or more at this time. No matter how clean mint or difficult to find, a BCA figure out of its package simply isn't worth spending three times its original retail price. Up to $12 shipped is understandable, but most everything on a singles card can be had for under that amount MOC, so there's no reason to buy even slightly used anymore. The majority of the boxed sets released from 1996-97 can reach $25 or more MIB if you have the right buyer(s). However, prices do fluctuate and the most reliable of valued BCA sets (namely, Survivor Series and Buried Alive) can surprise for under $15 MIB on occasion. The same applies to the Bret/Owen and Razor/Diesel 2-packs.

Is that the real scan Gangrel or the BCA scan as it's been years since I saw that figure in person

For its time, the BCA head was a fair representation. And though it isn't much, you have to admire Jakks' effort to include specks/splashes of blood on both Christian and Gangrel's lone repaints.

Fully agree, shame that I don't really have any use for the other heads.

So my wife and I were out for my birthday and I was doing some figure hunting. We stopped at a Bargain Hunt store cause I had heard there was some Mattel figures there. While there I stumbled upon a carded BCA Sultan/Backlund 2 pack. I didnt buy it cause the card was damaged and...well the Sultan kinda sucked. He had legs similar to Savios, horrible to play with. But it was cool finding carded BCA figures.

-- The BCA line will always be my all time favorite line...
As a kid in the 80s, it was all about the 8" LJNs...
Before I became a teen in the early 90s, it was all about the 4" Hasbros....
Then during the 2nd half of the 90s, this new 6" line came out called Bone Crunching Action and to me, they were like hybrids of the LJNs (rubber limbs) and Hasbros (plastic torsos).... or that's how I've always seen it anyways.
Plus, what I love about the BCA line, is it was in scale with other 6" lines out there.... WCW Toymakers, WCW Toybiz, ECW Toymakers, Fig Inc. LoPWs, AWA Remcos (and now, TNA Toybiz) ... it made for awesome inter-production matches because they were all the same scale.
Then the line was killed with TTL's, which I was never ever a fan of! But in 2002, a new version of the BCA came out "Bone Crunching Superstars"... and they're pretty cool as well, what with the realscan heads, but I still prefer the original 6" BCAs and to this day, I'm still trying to repiece the collection I once had back then.

BCA era will always hold a certain charm for me. I had every single one produced. Well,one of every different superstar made. Even had a cast resin Executioner prototype. There were some real gems that stand out to this day. And a lot of guys who will probably never see another figure made again. I remember wishing Jakks would have kept the original BCA line going long enough for Jericho,the Hardys,and the Dudleys to have seen a release. Those later era BCA figures would have been cooler if they were scaled better with the originals. Still that Hogan,A-Train,and,Angle were pretty damn good looking. One day I will fully rebuild that collection as it reminds me of a very fun time to be a collector. And the joy of walking into a store and being able to purchase pretty much whatever product was shipping at the time. A concept that's getting increasingly harder to do these days.

Has anyone played out any matches with there BCA's in the RSR? I've always wondered what that would look like.
