The legs look a little long for me, but not being the biggest bca fan I know some of them did have longer legs, like Goldust I believe Chicago - would you say they’re consistent with some taller bcas who have longer legs? The lower body does appear to be disproportionate to the upper body. That is a trait shared with the taller, second-generation BCA figures. But as far as height goes, these will be the same as the original 6" BCA figures (BCA 2.0 was closer to 6.5"). If the Clark torso could be extended some and the legs decreased in length by an equal amount, it would look more natural. I think I'm so used to Series 6 Owen Hart's body that anything differing from that sticks out or seems unusual. Clark's feet are definitely bigger than I would want them to be. |

I hope the Meanie logo turns blue instead of purple though. The reference shot they used it was people and they said in social media (can’t remember insta or Twitter) they wanted to keep it was close to the reference It could still be changed, though. Adjusting the colors wouldn't require a lot of effort or cost. |

The only complaint I have is the leg cut..... if you look at a standard bca their legs move up and down at about a 45 degree angle..... these seem to be way less than that. They remind me more of the sultans legs which isn't a good thing as it affects playability.
That being said, they look amazing and I will fully support this line and buy all of their products. I was planning on buying two of each (1 carded 1 loose) but now I think k I'll just buy the carded as they look amazing but I think the playability wint be the same.

That's one aspect of the reveals that I'm wondering about as well. Will the legs move like the original BCAs? I wouldn't necessarily call that a dealbreaker, as I still plan to buy two of each, but it would dampen my spirit to not have them play as well as they should. |

I dont know how far they are past prototypes but hopefully the legs can be adressed/corrected? But you are right it is not a deal-breaker. I was just so hyped based on the original artwork. |

I personally love how they look. Hope the height matches up with the originals. Best “retro” line from any company.

The legs I think work a great deal. Really remind me of BCA Kane. It adds to the product if its a little off somewhere. BCA’s were not perfect by any means, D’Lo and Vader used the same body mold for crying out loud. But this works well for me.

I hope the Meanie logo turns blue instead of purple though. The logo will be changed to blue for the actual release. |

Ya'll some nitpicking mf'ers. I don’t think other collectors realize how much BCA collectors nitpick. We’re just as hard to please as the rest of you! We might not be able to afford pitchforks like those uppity Hasbro collectors, but we’re getting there. There are dozens of us!  |

BCA were the first wrestling figures I owned, thus why I have zero interest in Hasbro/Retro/LJN. But now that I have 250+ Mattel/Jazwares/S7 I just don't want to start another style. I think the Chellas look super cool. BCA were never accurate by any means so the whole, leg too long, man ... I don't get it.

I think the Chellas look super cool. BCA were never accurate by any means so the whole, leg too long, man ... I don't get it.   This is kind of what I was getting at. Rough MS Paint edit, but still. If you compare BCW Clark to a BCA Owen Hart, his torso appears shorter and his legs appear longer. If it turns out that BCA Kane was more of an inspiration for Clark's figure, then that makes all the sense in the world as to why his legs are that size. I was merely comparing it to the first figure I thought of upon seeing it, which might not be a fair comparison at all. Truthfully, it doesn't matter if they're identical or not, but it's fun for me to think of where ideas originate and what can be done with the parts after this figure. |

Has to be inspired by the BCA Kane based on the thick boots alone. Awesome figure though!

The legs, if they stay the same, appear as if theyll spin like savios or the sultans, which is a shame.

It’s not like Mattel, Jazwares, or even Jakks would ever come close to doing a line of their own. I could see if there was competition out there for making BCA-style figures, but come on. That’s not happening and we all know it. It’s this or nothing. We all don’t have your talent or expertise, so cut us some slack lol. |
