There was a Kmart within walking distance of my old house. I used to walk up there and see what new figures they got in.
I remember my parents sent me over to Kmart to pick up some milk and i came home with the Wrestlemania 14 Austin, HBK and a gallon of milk. From that point on they never sent me to Kmart to pickup anything.

My mom asked if they were on the list of things we needed, and I said something along the lines of "on my personal list of figures I need... then yes!" But she let it slide haha Still fun times!! |

I remember going on a family vacation and my sister saying she had to go to the bathroom. So my dad pulled over at a Target and we all went in and i ran to the toy section and seen a series 9 Big Show. I asked my dad if he would get it for me since i did not have a Big Show figure (this is not counting the 4 wcw "Giant" figures i had). He said yes and bought it for me. While we were leaving the store he said "This was the most expensive bathroom break we ever had".lol |

One thing I hate about the BCA line (and it's not exclusive to these figures either): disassembling the Monster Ring.
Hands down, it's one of the least fun activities if you're taking down a display or trying to store away parts of your collection.
I gave up about two ring posts in on my Raw ring and I don't even want to think about the regular Monster Ring that I've had trouble with since first assembling it.
Just walk away before something gets hurt...

After about 25 mins i just gave up and turned the ring upside down and stored my figures in the bottom of the ring. |

Signature Series 1 LOD. (pictures that I am nice enough not to quote) Pretty sure that the only BCA LOD figures I'm missing from my collection are the Best of '98 Series 2-pack (2 Tuff Series 3 re-releases) and Special Edition Series 3 figures (again, 2 Tuff Series 3 re-releases). signature series LOD are the ones I had growing up. I had found the Tag Teams series 1 2 pack and put it in layaway, to save back for Christmas. Unfortunately, K-Mart decided that it'd be a good idea to lose any record of that layaway transaction, and when my mom went to pick them up (along with a ton of other Christmas gifts), they were long gone. Put back on the shelf and then sold to someone else. That Easter, I got the signature series (my least favorite series behind STOMP, because they had the signatures on the legs..) ones as a "make up". I ended up just rubbing the signatures until they came off. I also had that Ahmed Johnson, and never even used him as Ahmed, because he looked NOTHING like Ahmed, and wasn't wearing Ahmed's gear. He wore the vest and hat to the ring and was basically just a cruiserweight in my federation. Actually feuded with Ahmed (the real one) for a bit |

The signatures aren't too noticeable on these figures, and I think they actually got worse as the series went on.
As for Ahmed again, I turned mine into K-Kwik lol.
So bad lol.

I remember buying the sig series one at 1 time from TRU.
I renamed every stomp series figures in my fig fed. Ahmed was called Anthony Daniels and he was a hardcore champion in my fig fed twice.

The Signature Series line could have been cool for MOC collectors back then. They probably could have had some value to them if the figure of said guy was made just for that line. Like if Roaddog had dreads for that S.Series figure, but all his other BCA figures had the bandanna look. Instead, it just became another line to find at your stores.

At least the BCA Best Of Series figures didn't have stamps on their legs like the RA figures had.
I think different variations of the WWF logo stands would have been cool collectors items.

What do you guys do when you open a brand-new package of a BCA figure and either the joints are loose, there's paint loss on the figure or the feet are bent? Have any of you encountered any of these problems and what do you do if you have?

Have any of you encountered any of these problems and what do you do if you have? Well, Mr. Reagan sir, we usually blame the President of the USA when that happens!! Tear down those BCA walls!! I kid, I kid. But in all seriousness, I used to just not care and continue with using it anyhow. When you are younger and you finally get that wrestler you wanted for your federation, it doesn't matter if his arm joint is a bit loose, you just need to play with it! But for loose collectors, I guess it would be annoying cause you want the best you can find. |

Have any of you encountered any of these problems and what do you do if you have? I have had this happen to me quite a few times. I would usually put the figure back in the package and go back to the store the next day. I remember taking back my series 2 Bret Hart because one of his legs fell off as soon as i took him out of the package  .Luckly they had 5 other series 2 Bret's to choose from  . The only other figure i ever took back was the manager series 2 pack with crush because the head fell off after i took him out of the package. |
