Love that Al Snow man, looks great. The TTL head on Blackman fits right in to the look of the line for me, since it’s more cartoony than serious. Great stuff mate!

I'm 36, and these make me want to bust out my loose BCA's and have some matches again. Man, those look great! Both Meanie and Adam Bomb would have gotten a shot at my figure feds' World title if I had these as a kid. I'm in the process of acquiring some MOC BCA figures as well. Just got Blue Blazer a couple months back and will be picking up Superstars Series 6 Owen, and Signature Series Goldust soon from a local seller. |

Every time I walk into the shop and see these I get the same urge. If the lineup for series 2 doesn't get you back into fig-fedding, nothing will!  |

Those look so damn good. The packaging is amazing, and it makes me want to buy and collect a MOC set. So nice!

I just got back into collecting figures a few months ago and as much as I really like the Mattel line, I have really become a huge fan of the BCA line and am collecting it as much as I can. Not a MOC guy, I just like to pick them up as I find them, paint them where needed, fix the joints etc to make them look as good as possible. I think for me, the BCA line has that "He-Man" type feel, and it was He-Man, The AWA Remco figures and He-Man knock offs that were my wrestling fed as a kid in the 80s. So the BCA line is fantastic for me.
Interested in some of the customs seen on here....are you using heads from other lines for your customs?
Question for the BCA collectors / fans, what do you do if the figure's legs arent straight or one of them is on a bit of an angle causing the figure to not stand easily? Is there a way to get the legs back to normal? Since they are flexible to begin with, I wasnt sure if heating them up like you can do with Mattel figs to set them back in place would work?

Heating them up should work. They’re much easier to manipulate being the soft plastic that they are. I’m not sure if you’d need to let the legs set for a period of time so that they don’t revert back. I’ve never tried heating them myself, but I have quite a few wonky BCAs that could use some adjusting. One Best of ‘97 Mero I got MOC and opened has like a permanently rolled ankle on the one side. Let us know if you have any success, and congrats on returning to the hobby! |

looking past the atrocious head sculpt on that figure, what were they trying to do with the paint job on the pants? camo? that whole figure is just a mess. that being said, i distinctly remember getting it at kmart back in the day...and not only that, i was pumped to find it too. oh the joys of being a kid in the bca era |

Thanks....I tried heating it up but no luck so far, so I heated it up a second time, then wrapped a rubber band around the legs and got them where I'd want them to be. Letting them sit in the rubber band for a while to see if any progress comes out of it! |

The head from that figure would be great if you are trying to make a custom Nosferatu figure. |

Got on a great roll in the last week. Picked up 2 pack Diesel, Special Edition Yokozuna in white MOC, and Bret vs Owen. All big knockouts for my missing pieces of my collection.

Hey all!
I am going to be filming my late 90s pic fed this summer that will include WWF BCA/WCW Toybiz/ECW OSFTM! This thread has definitely been an inspiration and I will definitely be doing some of the more simpler head swaps and repaints! I can't wait to get started.
