Annnd now I've ordered Camo Carnage. Luckily, I found one seller who had the entire set up for grabs. Unfortunately, the Trips I had in the order is the "non-guns" variant, so I had to go back and find one that had 'em. I don't think I'll buy all the variants that don't have the guns, but I said that I wouldn't get Camo Carnage in the first place, so I can't make any promises. Are the figures themselves in-scale with BCAs? The Chyna is waaay better than S.T.O.M.P. 2 and, unfortunately, they're the only figure body types of her from her "bulky" days. I'm okay if they wind up being bigger than BCAs, 'cuz then maybe I can slide her in with Mattel DX.

It doesn't look very interesting (aside from whatever that is between the heads of Billy and Austin), so I doubt it.

I always liked the camo carnage series. I still have the Austin and Road dogg moc. The package says special edition.

No, the Camo Carnage figures are about an inch taller, and the sculpts are far more defined and articulated than the original BCA figures. They're unique unto themselves and therefore shouldn't be grouped in with either BCA or TTL, though I'm guilty of including Camo Carnage in my BCA checklist. I don't think there were ever long term plans for the Camo Carnage series (likely a one-off to boost sales in the summer of '99), but it sure does make you wonder what would have become of Titan Tron Live had Jakks stuck with the additional points of articulation introduced by Camo Carnage? anyway, what ring did you all use? Attitude, Monster, etc. I'm looking for a monster ring moc or loose by the way so if anyone has one let me know! The Monster Ring was my ring of choice for about four or five years in the late 90s/early 2000s. My original '96 white ring lasted until the huge crack down the center became too much of a distraction, then I switched over to the '97 Raw Is War black ring. The black canvas was a favorite of mine, along with the usual preferable Monster Ring mat space. If I were playing now with BCA figures, I would opt instead for the Jakks Real Scale Ring (the best ever, bar none), but I'll always laud the advantages of the Monster Ring over the competition. However, if you're looking for the best Jakks ring to use with a pic fed or for display purposes, Attitude/Hardcore is the way to go.

I've had both of those before as well as the RSR. I never actually had the Monster Ring but my cousin used to and man oh man that thing was so cool to me. I've wanted one since all these years later. So you preferred the Raw is War one to the 96 white canvas one? I'm sure you of all people know, but if you didn't, they rereleased it again for the TTLs and as far as I can tell is the same as the Raw is War one but with the scratch logo instead of the block logo

Needless to say, it fit the times better than the red/white/blue look of the original. It was my ring of choice for many years and was the site of several new competing toy lines in my fed at the time of their release (Toy Biz WCW, OSFTM ECW). I'm familiar with several Monster Ring repaints/variants in existence, including the pairing of the Monster Ring with the 12-inch Ringside Rebels line in late 2002, but for me it'll always come back to the original two versions and their box/cover art, as well as the original LJN ring that predates me.

And if you think that’s interesting, wait until you see what I have to share next time. "FIVE MONTHS LATER..." I purchased this Fully Loaded Series 1 HHH figure on eBay late last year for $12 shipped because I had never seen anything like it before. I asked the seller if there was any signs of tampering with the packaging by a previous owner. Of course, the reason I inquired is because this particular HHH figure does not belong on a Fully Loaded Series 1 card. This one does. This is what the seller wrote back: I took a chance on it being a factory mishap, and I believe my intuitions were correct. Fully Loaded Series 1 and Special Edition Series 3 (which includes this particular Superstars Series 6 HHH re-release) were both released to stores in February of 1999 and it's very likely that they were packaged in the same factory. Accidents like this happen all the time, but it was especially strange for me to have spotted the error online with just a passing glance.

I got my Camo Carnage. Yeah. Wow. The knees are crazy loose on all of them, so I may have to fix those one day. I was floored by the amount of stuff Chyna's backpack (which I can't seem to get to fit on her...) does...I nearly stabbed myself in the eye with her radar dish. The other surprise was Gunn's backpack, the mechanism works better than I would've expected from a toy made in the '90s. The rest of the set is kind of forgettable, though I like that they all have shirt designs under their presumably bulletproof vests, and that Trips's guns fit into said vest. ...it'd be nice if they could HOLD the guns, though.

Is it me or does that Triple H look like a constipated Regis Philbin?

I can't believe the BCA line is 18 years old. I remember seeing series one in stores at Hills, in the summer of 1996

Hey @chicago, I'm trying to complete the initial 1st run of the BCA, and I'm trying to find out what I'm missing. I consider the 1st run, everything up to the S.T.O.M.P series & Slammers series.
I have the 1st 5 series, all MOC, the Tag Series, the Managers series, the Monster ring, the Survivor Series 4 pack, and the Champions 4 pack. Any help would be appreciated.

While perusing the interwebs this past week I came across a rather interesting scan of ToyFare Magazine #36 from August 2000. Check it out: The lone repaint of Debra's 2 Tuff Series 5 debut sculpt ( as seen here on a French card) is the very last singles exclusive of the BCA line. It took me seemingly forever to add this figure to my collection, but I would definitely recommend it to those of you who weren't satisfied with her 2 Tuff Series 5 or TTL Double Slam Series 3 figures; it's a somewhat forgotten gem of a repaint.
