I actually got these a while back and never got around to posting the pics. I picked them up at a little shop called "Chester's Collectibles". The store is run by a nice old man who unfortunately seems behind the times on his pricing and values. That is until he cuts you a crazy bargain and you realize he just doesn't want to have to reprice everything. He has almost exclusively 90's toys, which we all know have retained little to no value. However he had a very tiny section of wrestling toys which, as a member here, I am quite fond of regardless of lack of value. I picked up these two gems:  And....  The Undertaker was worth the robe alone, although the tattoo detail was nice as was the likeness.  Big Show is awesome. This might be my favorite BCA era figure. The headsculpt, done by hand, somehow manages to be better than the one done by Mattel via computer for their nWo Giant.  |

That really is a sweet Undertaker figure, always wanted it but unfortunately never got the chance to own it.

I find it interesting that Big Show was known by his real name back then

I find it interesting that Big Show was known by his real name back then I've heard before that Paul Wight was going to be called "Titan" or "The Titan" upon entering the WWF at St. Valentine's Day Massacre in February '99. I've also heard that "The Big Show", or "TBS" for short, may have been a shot at Ted Turner's "Turner Broadcasting System", a.k.a. TBS. Regardless of the name on the package, Paul Wight's debut Superstars Series 9 figure is among the very best of the BCA era; it would easily rank in my top five. Undertaker's robe is also an all-time great accessory for Jakks figures. Great pickups, poindizzle.  |

Yeah I love the JAKKS series, I know they're not worth much but they came out when I was a teenager and started really collecting, love that Ministry Taker too, nice pickups.
