This is the story of how jake jingles was born.
I bought the toybiz goldberg figure that was dressed as a construction worker. I was looking for a new wrestler for my fig fed and i was thinking of a name for him. I was going to call him roadblock at first but my sister thought it would funny if i named him jake jingles. She did not think that i would but i did and i regret it. I never thought of a name change until now If i ever get around to restarting my fig fed i would change it to roadblock.

I can't remember the last time I shared pics of any new Jakks purchases. Suffice it to say, this will have to make do, and hopefully make up for my "absence" around here as of late. Backlash Series 1 X-Pac ($16.98 shipped) and Series 5 Crash Hardcore Holly ($6.69 shipped)Series 1 X-Pac in his green DX street gear (shown above) is a fairly common figure (though I reluctantly overpaid for mine), unlike the Series 2 X-Pac in red DX ring gear which can command $15 or more MOC on the secondary market. Without a doubt, the Series 2 figure has been one of the hardest for me to track down in mint condition, but I reached an agreement with an eBay seller on Tuesday for $18 shipped; it's a fair price for me considering I've been after this figure for years and it hardly ever gets listed for under $20 (including shipping). Series 5 Hardcore Holly in pink ring gear (with the ever-amusing Crash Holly error insert) is the final Holly repaint produced for the BCA line, in October of 2001. I was fortunate to find one MOC for a reasonable price (under $7 shipped), and once again this is a repaint that I've been after for years that somehow always eluded me. On a side note, I believe the Series 1 X-Pac may have a t-shirt logo variant, as evidenced by this Backlash figure lot on eBay. It looks similar to the Break Down In Your House Series X-Pac, but the color of the bandannas worn are clearly not the same. Stone Cold Steve Austin Grapple Gear Blue Boxed Set ($12 shipped)Stone Cold’s Blue Grapple Gear boxed set is notable for re-using Steve Blackman’s batons and introducing yet another exclusive t-shirt design for Steve Austin. It was exclusive to K-Mart stores in March of 1999. Preferably, I would have bought both blue and red Grapple Gear boxed sets at the same time, but the red version (featuring a blue announce table, monitors, and an exclusive “Blood from a Stone” t-shirt design) has proven to be a tough find for under $15 shipped. Better luck next time, I suppose. Expect No Mercy Boxed Set ($14.94 shipped)If you’re a fan of re-releases and obscure, one-off accessory repaints, Expect No Mercy is the boxed set for you. It was exclusive to K-Mart stores in September of 1999, but that’s not why it’s special. The ONLY reason to give this set a second glance is for the exclusive blue suit pieces worn by Vince McMahon. That’s precisely the reason why I bought it. Okay, maybe Austin’s flesh-colored knee pads had something to do with it too, but don’t quote me on that. And if you think that’s interesting, wait until you see what I have to share next time.

I always liked that backlash x-pac but never bought it. I do remember getting that hardcore holly and calling him crash.
I never really cared for the snap on suit that vince had eiter.

What the heck?? I had no idea there was a Crash Holly BCA!

But seriously, it's not a Crash Holly BCA figure . It has "Hardcore Holly" printed on the sides of the trunks, and it's the closest we'll ever get to having Crash in the BCA line thanks to the packaging error. It was never corrected either, though that doesn't surprise me considering it was the last of the throwaway KB Toys series featuring the original BCA figures.

It's cool to think of what could have been with the BCA line in terms of superstars we didn't get. I'm not sure exactly when the BCA line was discontinued, but I recall not being able to find anymore new figures here in Canada around 1998/1999 when Titantron Live figures started appearing. I wish I could have had BCA figures of superstars like The Mean Street Posse, Too Cool, Chainsaw Charlie, The Dudley Boyz and others.

Was wondering if I could easily put it on a Mattel suit body to make an ECW Cyrus It's a bit bigger than the average manager/personnel figure from the BCA line, but it looks doable. I would think matching the skin tone would be the greater issue, but then again I'm no customizer.

The Executioner from the Buried Alive set Thank you! In my head, I was thinking "The Destroyer"... I was close lol. Thanks again! and for future reference, it was Terry Gordy underneath the mask, and that means he is the only Free Bird to get a BCA.

Just call him "The Roadie" Jack Hammer. I was never that smart as a kid. I would just think of a random name and go with it. When i got the stone cold that came in the 2 pack with the big boss man i used the "bad boys" series austin as a new wrestler called mr.dallas (because he has a white star on the side of his boots).

I would do the same thing, except I used Austin's debut figure for my own character. I had neither a bald head nor a goatee as a kid, but I made it work. Worse yet, I think his (my) head fell off after a while and he (I) was diagnosed with a "broken neck" in my fed.

Thanks in advance The Executioner from the Buried Alive set Is Executioner still tough to find? I remember during the heyday of BCA figures that he was always listed as the most valuable and toughest to find. What store was that set exclusive to? I've bought tons of lots of figures from here, eBay, and elsewhere, and he's one of the few BCA figures that I've never had in my possession.
