Scrolling through vintage jakks bca’s Twitter he’s put up a pic from the FC website which states “figure collections owners started a toy company FC Toys! Initially making the mistake of collaborating with a deadbeat called Charles…” Wow. Airing their dirty laundry like that is pretty pathetic behaviour. |

That’s Ultimo is just so dope looking. He does look good, but him being the same scale as every other figure bothers me considering Gilberg is noticeably slighter. Ultimo wasn't a big guy. That's a minus for me personally. Meh, Kane was the same size as Taka with the original BCAs so I’m not too concerned with scale. |

I was led to believe that they'd all be one size, which didn't sit right with me but I just accepted... Now it appears that Gilberg has been given a smaller scale while naturally small Ultimo is walking tall like 6 foot plus Randy Savage. 🤷 |

Wonky scales are a feature, not a bug, of a BCA tribute line IMO.

Big Show got the super-tall specific monster mold, but Kane was the size of Taka for example, or using wildly different bodies for the same person. |

I definitely agree that it's not going against the grain of the BCA line. I guess it's mostly because they made Gilberg a little smaller so I'm a bit gutted that they didn't do the same for Ultimo... When I thought that all of the figures would be the same scale, which is what I think Naptown posted a while back, I didn't mind so much... Damn you, Gilberg! |

Duane Gill was only shown briefly in prototype form. There is no reason to think there will be a huge difference in scale when the sculpt itself hasn’t been finalized. The figures should max out at six inches, but there could be exceptions depending on the character. If Paul Wight were in this line, too, I would expect his figure to stand taller than the rest.  |

On the back of the packaging he's shown as being smaller than everyone else. All I want is a slightly smaller Ultimo... But if he's the same scale as everyone else, that's fine, it's just not for me. I'm pretty happy with the OSFTM version. |

  This kind of flew under the radar so far. Also from FC’s Instagram. I reached out to 3Lephant (Naptown Icon) asking about Gill’s height, and he assured me that this was an older prototype that will be resized to fit the established scale. |

Have to say, I took a punt on picking up the Adam Bomb and Blue Meanie standard versions...and these absolutely shot the lights out! Got an order confirmation immediately, a notification the product was shipping literally a day or so later, and within the matter of weeks (seemed like a blink of an eye to be honest), I had the package sitting at my door, all the way in Melbourne Australia. Product looks phenomenal, the team did an absolute stellar job. Highly recommend, and look forward to adding Ultimo, Sonny and Macho Man to the collection in time!  |

For the UK buyers...
Epic Toys just emailed me saying there is still a delay on the shipping with Meanie & Bomb.
But they are expected 'soon'.

Anyone heard an update on the UK side as yet? Was wondering the same. Someone on here said Pablo Melons was going to be UK distributor, but he has ruled himself out of doing it. Really hope a UK distributor steps up to take on these. Wrestling Trader are only fulfilling initial orders that were made through Chella's old website, which were Blue Meanie BCA's in his white gear. |
