Chella are bringing back bone crunchers! Is there really a demand for this? Jakks BCAs have been the most worthless wrestling figures for almost 20 years now. I'd take BCA over Hasbro/TTL/Basics any day and every day 365. |

Sold listings on eBay would say otherwise. Not for the entire line, but the earlier series and exclusive sets are very much in-demand since the pandemic began. Whether or not that translates to a successful new figure line is yet to be determined, but there’s reason to be optimistic. Chella will give it the attention it deserves. Collectors and fans of the original line are very much the focus here. If there was ever a time to give a BCA revival a shot, now is it. Edit: For those that haven’t seen Chella’s post on IG yet, here it is: http://instagram.com/p/CWx4gS9MjOF |

The bone crunching figures is a favorite of mine to collect so I am a little bit excited to see what Chella does for their line.

Well congrats for anyone who likes BCA, but unless it's someone that hasn't been made anywhere else, this is a miss for me.

Could be fun depending on who they make.

This is just such a good time to be a figure collector. We've got so many lines to collect at the moment that the variety is off the charts. I'd go as far as saying this must have been what it felt like during the WWF/WCW/ECW hay day.
With Chella and Zombie doing the Retro's, Mattel doing them as well with their own lines still going strong, Jazwares and AEW bringing back the LJN's in a capacity and now Chella doing the Bone Crunchers and Major Pod doing the Bendies, it's the best time I've ever experienced in my collecting life.
There's so many options it's hard to know what to go for, that's something we've not had since Mattel took the line over (outwith Jakks doing TNA).
I know I'm all in on the Retro's from Chella, I've made the decision to go for the 7" scale too and with the news today it's now thrown that in. I'm supporting the company because it's the first time I've ever had the opportunity to do this with a UK brand and company and I feel like all they're doing should be applauded. They've made it so much fun the past year.

I feel like the bone crunchers will be far easier to capture successfully than hasbro has been.
Plus some of their signed names will legitimately go well with the original line. Blue Meanie, Wrath and Haku are spot on.

With him recently leaving WWE, imagine a 2 Hott Scott Taylor to go with Brian Christopher.

Really wish they'd have put more into their 7inch line instead of making a completely new set of figures now.
I'm already gutted seeing so many names across Chella and ZST being made as Hasbros that I'd way much rather see fit in with my Mattel scale figures

I'm pysched for BCAs -- but hope it doesn't distract Chella from the quality of it's retro line

I think it'll be a good thing! Yeah you might be right - I’ve been wondering whether part of the reason Chella are branching out to other lines is because it could be more appealing in getting guys signed; more figures = More money after all. |

It will certainly attract more wrestlers to sign, that's for sure! |
