Hi all, I created an account here simply because I knew no one else to ask this question and I figured you guys are the experts who could answer this for me. In Micky Rourke's The Wrestler movie, Randy the Ram gives Marisa Tomei's character a Randy the Ram action figure. I presume the figure is painted custom, but I also presume the figure was originally an actual figure of some other wrestler? Can anyone tell me what figure this is? I'm dying to know but don't know enough about wrestling figs to figure it out on my own. Here's the clip if you haven't seen it before:
Thank you in advance!!!

I think it was a repainted BCA Edge, most likely this one

THank you for your response. I just found an old thread on this board, but there were no conclusive answers. The figure in the movie looked like it had two closed fists and definite muscle tone in his legs that don't match that BCA edge figure.
No other guesses?

See how the muscles in the legs look different?

I only saw the movie once a long time ago and giving my best guess. Maybe if this thread was in the Jakks section, you might get a better answer.

Those look like they could be Sid/Razor legs, which might mean it's a repainted Signature Series 3 Edge. It's not DTA Tour Series 2 Edge because that figure has the thicker Superstars Series 6 HHH legs. No BCA Edge figure comes with two closed fists*.
*Save for Backlash Series 4 Edge, but that one uses a completely different Slammers Patriot mold.

Thank you thank you thank you for all of your responses!
Especially you "I hate my job"... I didn't want you to think I didn't appreciate your suggestion. It was a great starting point for me!
And Chicago, I think you might be right. I mean, I don't want anyone to close this thread or stop suggestions if they have more info, but I keep looking at the Signature Series 3 Edge and I think you might be right. It looks pretty spot on.

It was probably a combination of a few BCA figures put together.

Do the BCA figures have interchangeable legs? I mean, are they simple balljoints that would allow a film crew to easily switch legs? There's a scene in the movie where the kid is playing with the figure pretty aggressively...I just don't think the propmasters would go with a figure that had its legs mashed together with only glue when most viewers would never notice the difference. If so, then PJ might be right. Can someone tell me how easy it would be for me to mash an Edge BCA figure with Razor's legs? Could I just snap the legs on, or would it necessitate glue? Or is it just edge's head snapped onto a different body? Or is this signature series edge figure look like the same screen used figure? Do the legs match up?
I mean, I agree that Razor's legs look more like the legs in this screenshot: But the waist of razor is obviously not the waist of this screenused fig that has a beltline. Is there some other BCA figure that has the thickness of Razor's legs, but still has a belt line like the screen used figure? If you're exhausted trying to answer my questions (sorry!) is there some website that shows all of the BCA figure line so that I could look at them all easily without individually searching each figure?

Well, apparently I've exhausted my resources here. Thank you to those who helped...

Based on the photo provided, it looks like someone took a Signature Series 3 Edge (the variation with Sid legs, a.k.a. Razor legs) and simply repainted the hair and tights. No new parts appear to have been added. Signature Series 3 Edge came with that belt line crotch piece because all of Edge's figures at that time were reusing the mold originally created for Superstars Series 6 HHH.

Thank you Chicago... so just so I'm understanding here.... Is this the exact Signature Series 3 Edge with Razor/Sid's legs you're talking about? Or have I not found a picture of that variant yet? I just want to know which figure to buy. All I see on eBay is the figure pictured above.

I just want to know which figure to buy. All I see on eBay is the figure pictured above. Yes, that's the one. Shouldn't be too hard to track down. If you ever end up making a custom Randy The Ram figure, please do share pics of it here. I'd love to see it. Thanks.
