I always had Road Dogg in black & white (mine came from the value line at KB) and Billy Gunn in lime green (Fully Loaded series 1, I believe). I had a black shirt and black pants Road Dogg that a friend gave me, but I traded him to a different friend for a Toybiz referee and some weapons. Also had a Billy Gunn that looked NOTHING like him, in jeans and a sleeveless DX shirt. I used him as The DX Body Guard. He debuted by coming through the crowd to save DX from an nWo gang beatdown. The figure bit an eventual "death by ladder", as his head was stuck in a ladder between the legs, another figure dropped a leg drop on it, and his head came off. I glued it back on, but it was constantly coming off.
My dad had "the wrestling figure hospital" on his work bench. There was constantly someone getting worked on, heads being put back on, arms and legs being repegged, chairs and tables being fixed from too high of high spots.. It was usually heads, though

hey zappa i got the yoko and godfather, also got 4 boxes today and i plan on posting all my pick-ups of the month 50+ pics! Let's get on with it then.  I bought a MOC Slammers Series 1 Bret Hart on eBay earlier today for a little over $6 shipped. Go figure, I still need 'Taker from Slammers Series 1 AND S.T.O.M.P. Series 1.  Hey chicago, if you need the Slammers Series 1 Undertaker Loose I have it listed on eBay. Just search WWF BCA LOT 1 WRESTLING FIGURE SLAMMERS UNDERTAKER in the search box. |

I always thought it was so cool to get Bret/Owen/Bulldog/Pillman in both regular form and mini-figure form. Shame Jakks never got around to doing an Anvil until CS.

Chicago can you post a pic of the Billy Gunns to go with that Road Dogg pic? It's definitely not all of them, but it was what I had available at the time.  And my Photobucket account just expired apparently so this gave me a reason to upgrade for another two years.  |

Yeah, the Off The Mat boxed set figure, as well as any of his other boxed set figures including Fully Loaded and Perfect 10 (which I don't have), isn't pictured there.
My favorite Billy Gunn figure is Fully Loaded Series 1 (third from the right). It's not the most detailed, but it was one BCA figure that I really wanted from the start as I was rebuilding my collection in '07.
I do love the Sunday Night Heat Series Billy Gunn in teal attire (fourth from the left), too.

I'm at home sick today, and decided to read through this thread. I have to admit, I get a little teary eyed thinking about all the figures I once had. With almost every new picture on here, I see something that I had completely forgotten I owned. I'd give anything to have all of that stuff back. So many memories of heads being glued back on and turnbuckle posts snapping and everything else. I'd give anything to get back the feeling of opening a new BCA for the very first time.

Please feel free to share any memories or stories that you may have about the BCA line, and ask questions/request photos if you're looking for anything in particular. If you can spare $5 or 6 shipped, you should be able to find plenty of MOC BCA figures on eBay or by asking around WF Classifieds. You've just got to know where to look and don't be fooled by overpriced sellers. It might take a little longer than you expect, but I firmly believe that anyone can build a sizeable BCA figure collection in a matter of weeks. |

The Billy Gunn that came with the Tag Team championship (the second box set with the belts) had a terrible head, though - I don't see that head pictured at all in the line-up there.

Ugh, I always hated the painted jeans like that Billy Gunn is wearing or like that HBK wore in the tag set with him and Triple H. The kneepads under the jeans always bothered me. It just seemed so cheap to do. When I know they had perfectly good jean molds out there cause X-Pac came with a pair in a tag set with Jarrett.

I really like that Austin....a lot.  However, the rest of them look downright goofy. That was just part of the BCA charm, I suppose.lol |

I got this set just for the belts. I HATED all the figures at the time. Although the Austin grew on me a lot, would it have killed them to use the original NAO heads, or the 2 Tuff 3 Rock head (all of which had been used at that point, I think).

I also did not care for the Fully Loaded series 2 Austin because they used the legs from Justin Hawk Bradshaw. |
