Over here waiting for the last reveal! Did they say when it would be? No. The Meanie and Clark pre-orders are set to go live in nine days. Maybe something will be teased before then, but based on Jack’s most recent podcast appearance, it doesn’t sound like they’re going to flood the market with new reveals each week the way they had been doing. |

It was definitely stated that the last guy would be revealed today. I can't find where I saw it, but I definitely saw Thursday being significant.

Didn't Naptown Icon say on here that something would be revealed on Thursday? |

Yes. When can we expect your next podcast appearance?  Will you look to balance out the number of WCW or ECW names versus WWF names each series? Will WWF ever be in the minority? Are there any Jakks BCA parts you hope to avoid using as inspiration for the BCWs? Paul Wight’s ginormous hands came to mind recently, and I’d rather not go down the route of comically-oversized parts again. When’s the soonest that we could see a preview of the packaging, front and/or back view? Thanks for checking in with us! Anyone from the mid to late 90s is on the table. If we focus too hard on the 'Federation then we will run out of available people too quickly. Plus, I think having the door open for everyone in that time period makes for a more exciting line and gives collectors a chance to grab figures of wrestlers and personalities that have never had one before! I give notes for every figure's art, but at the end of the day I trust our artist with his designs. Matty Breeze does a fantastic job with everything I ask of him, usually he knows what I'm hoping to achieve without me having to explain it. That's the benefit of this line being done by fans! The packaging design has been completed for a while but I have to save some surprises! Thursday was a reference to the Chella Toy Podcast appearance which was uploaded several days early. |

I think the next one that drops is Thursday with the Chella Toys Podcast with Pablo!Anyone from the mid to late 90s is on the table.

Just wanted to give everyone an update! The pre-order for Meanie is still ready to go for Saturday! However, as a result of fixing the legs/crotch piece of the Bryan Clark figure, it's going to add at least a few more weeks to the process. The changes will make the playability more closely resemble figures of the past, which I think is what everyone wants out of these figures! Its not ideal but I figure transparency is best in situations like these!

Here’s a screenshot of the render you posted to IG showing off the new legs:  And yes, I’m charging as I type this lol. |

I see the changes in the crotch piece but I’m not sure what the differences are with the legs in the new one. |

Does anyone else feel the Bryan Clark is way too tanned? I mean perhaps in real life he was but if you're gonna compare to old BCAs or Mattel etc for that matter he's gonna be way more tanned than anyone else.

For us UK guys, I haven’t seen Chella post that Adam Bomb WON’T be up on the 22nd, but I have gave them a message to ask if it would only be Meanie for the time being. Will update if I get a response.

I mean perhaps in real life he was but if you're gonna compare to old BCAs or Mattel etc for that matter he's gonna be way more tanned than anyone else. He’s on the darker side, for sure, but I’d rather he have some color than be pale like so many of the BCAs were. It’s a hand-painted prototype, too, so some things will come out looking slightly different between this stage and the end result. For us UK guys, I haven’t seen Chella post that Adam Bomb WON’T be up on the 22nd, but I have gave them a message to ask if it would only be Meanie for the time being. Will update if I get a response. The announcement applies to all Bryan Clark pre-orders, not just FC’s. |

Yeah got confirmation from Chella that it’s only Blue Meanie up for pre order on the 22nd.

I like the packaging. Probably would have gone with a brighter blue myself, but still it looks good. |

What's everyone's thoughts on the $45 mark up?

What's everyone's thoughts on the $45 mark up? Jack said that they were shooting for $40 plus shipping. If shipping isn’t factored into that price, I’ll be disappointed. Not to say an extra $5 or $10 will break the bank, but I really had my heart set on no more than $46-47 shipped. Here’s the FC link for Meanie: shop.figurecollections.com/product/bcwmeanieI’m happy with the packaging design. I like that it isn’t just a redo of Superstars Series 1. The logo is reminiscent of Series 3. The insert art is awesome. Ideally, I would’ve wanted to see Meanie in a dance pose, but I understand if that wouldn’t be possible due to the size of the bubble. |
