Awesome, I'm making a Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw Mattel Custom, so I wanted reference pictures of the BCA figure. I'm planning to use a modified Terry Funk Mattel figure, with a Jakk's Havoc unleashed JBL scan with sculpted hair and painted beard. With Funk's chaps, a basic vest, and hat.

Very cool. Good luck with everything. JHB was an unusual gimmick to include in a series ("Bad Boys", I know, but still) that also saw the debut figures of HHH, Farooq, Jerry Lawler, and Steve Austin.

I was also going to ask, do you have a extra JHB figure? If so would you be interested in trading it?

Unfortunately, I don't.
I won a lot of Series 4 figures well over a year ago, and the only ones missing were Austin and Bradshaw.
If I do come across one soon I'll let you know.

Not sure why but everytime i see the box for the attitude ring it always reminds me of the year i got it for Christmas.
What was the point of putting the New Age Outlaws in 2 tuff 5? I mean we already had several of there figures.

They did come with a new pair of sunglasses each, but I think it had more to do with issuing recognizable stars later in the line, since we also got another 'Taker (from the ToyFare exclusive) and new Austin/Rock variations in 2 Tuff Series 5. I love the Viscera/'Taker 2-pack - the figures, the way it looks MOC, etc. But, I would've sacrificed (no pun intended) 'Taker's figure for Mideon, or even just one of the Acolytes. Here's another Grudge Match card backing; it's one of the King of the Ring packs, though I'm not sure which one (Austin/Rock or Road Dogg/Al Snow?). Not that it matters. ^ The thumbnails might not show, but click them anyway for a larger size.

Hey guys, not sure if you remember me but I'm the one that posted the pictures of my basement looking like a toy store a while ago. I'm moving and I've been selling my classic superstars for pretty good money. Now the question is...do I also sell my BCA, or should I wait hoping they go up in value?

I loved the pics of your collection.
I don't think you'll get much for them now, and I wouldn't expect prices to go up anytime soon lol.
However, it does depend on who you're selling to and what people are willing to pay for these figures. Generally, it won't amount to much, but you could make a little cash on the side if you absolutely cannot take them with you.

glad to see this thread still going stong.
chicago, I would only imagine the looks and questions you would have got from the baggage checks and the tsa haha
yea I dont see bca's being worth much. maybe just the older wrestlers and the ones that have passed away would be the only ones worth much of anything.

I managed to win this complete set of Signature Series 2 on eBay late last night for $23.39 shipped, or $3.90 per MOC figure. This was easily in my top two or three wants; I've had HBK, but I really wanted the others to round out the series. It even looks like I'll receive the Billy Gunn purple knee pad variant , which means I'll still be on the lookout for the regular version with matching blue knee pads.

Why? Why? Why do those very simple jointed figures seem to be SO MUCH FRIGGIN' FUN to play with? I'm a Jakks fan, no matter how many detractors and I am now shifting from DAs and RAs, and from RIs and DIs to TTLs and I am getting very curious with the BCA line. Are they like really fun to play with? I never thought nothing of the Flex 'Ems until I actually bought a bunch and they have turned into my faves to play with (not pose or pic fed, just play and have fun). Wondering if the BCAs are also fun fun fun.

No question about it, playing with BCA figures is a wrestling figure experience that is second to none.
Just like any other line, there are some that aren't quite as playable as others (or just downright unplayable), but for the most part BCA figures fit in with any era.
There's nothing better than when they're "broken in" and the parts loosen a bit; also, the majority of them are durable and can withstand a lot of punishment.
If you have the imagination to pull off fantastic feats with wrestling figures of the Mattel WWE or Jakks TNA variety, there's no reason why you couldn't enjoy playing with Bone Crunching Action figures.
Besides, if you're a fan of the Attitude era, specifically the years 1996 to 1999, then you will surely benefit from adding a few BCA figures to your collection.

I have that Taker too. I have it, the ABA repaint from the Backlash series, and a black one without the sig. I don't know who decided it looked anything like Taker. I used to use it as Crush quite often

yea bca is very playable. ive been collecting and playing with them since atleast 97/98. have had tons and tons of matches even made some newer wrestler customs. ive always felt that the newer figures are more of a display figure. but bca's are the perfect weight and is great for alot of action.

There we go, in addition to bringing back the BCA love of so many collectors, we've helped someone else find the awesomeness that are BCA figures. Thats cool.
