Austin obviously being my favorite, I collected all his BCA figures. I think I agree with the street gear looks being better. Right now thinking I’ll go with the jorts and vest look from the Off The Mat series. That way I get the blue strap to go with him. Might even go with a street gear Rock attire. My second favorite to collect was Mr Ass. Thinking I’m going with the yellow gear because it pops so well on a shelf. Instant nostalgia thinking about it. Based on the list I just made, I’m looking at about 85 figures not counting this I’ll need to buy/get through trade. Yeah, that sounds about right. Limiting yourself to just one of each character can be tricky when you get into different phases of a wrestler’s career (Rocky Maivia to The Rock, for instance). Billy Gunn from the Fully Loaded box set is a great choice! It’s not too expensive either. My favorite is the neon green attire from Fully Loaded Series 1. One street gear Rock that I really like, and that I think would go well with OTM Austin, is the Backlash Series 4 Rock with the cow print vest. Yeah think I think only different gimmick I’ll stick with is Foley’s three faces if I can help it. For Rock I’m thinking the track pants/Brahma bull shirt look. Always liked it but never had it as a kid. |

Pre-orders for Savage, Gill, and both versions of the Dragon/Onoo 2-pack (variant limited to 500) begin tonight at midnight Eastern time! http://instagr.am/p/CrdrhPuuVVC shop.figurecollections.com/category/bone-crushing-wrestlersIf you’re planning on getting both versions of the Ultimo Dragon & Sonny Onoo 2-pack, go for the 2-pack bundle instead and save the extra $9.97. And if you want to save 10 percent off on your order, try adding one of these codes during checkout: FIGHEEL FIGVAULT FWF LUCHAFAM MAJOR RUN10 RUNIN RUNINPOD Ordered two of each (one to open, one to keep MIB/MOC) just after midnight. Of course lol. I definitely don't want to wish the summer away, but I’m so looking forward to when these ship - probably by the end of August. |

These look incredible. I’m in Ireland so have to order through the UK so happy for the announcement.
Does anybody in here know how this affects preorders with Chella? I preordered Meanie and retro Haku together and was told by WT that they would be shipped together when in stock.

Same, £32 is not bad at all for them either I'd agree based on the fact that they're being imported, kinda Elite Legends style so if you can justify those then you can certainly justify the Bone Crushers. The packaging on them is beautiful, it's definitely my favourite from any of the new Retro lines we've seen as it looks so close, but so damn good in a nod to the originals. |

As stated, went and got me pre-order in for Ultimo Dragon/Sonny Onoo and Macho Man in last night! Can't wait to get them in hand - they will eventually be set free from the packaging once I've sorted the display out, but I can't wait for further announcements. Tried to convince myself that Gillberg was worth it for the complete series 1, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Not enough on the bone for me. Saw images of a NWA Invasion Jeff Jarrett recently too...will be interested to see further photos and news of that figure as it comes to light too. Great job FC Toys! Knocking it out of the park amongst a sea of competitors who are struggling with anything more than sketches!! Love your work!  |

Knocking it out of the park amongst a sea of competitors who are struggling with anything more than sketches!! Love your work! For Series 2 thus far, we’ve seen: - A physical prototype of the first ever six-inch Jeff Jarrett in his late ‘97 Aztec Warrior gear - Artwork for the first ever six-inch Mike Chioda in his Attitude Era referee attire - A listing on FC’s database for the first ever six-inch Glacier (specific WCW attire not mentioned/shown) Very excited to see what FC has planned for the rest of Series 2, including any possible variants. By the way, Series 1 pre-orders are up for both Action Figure Cellar and Wrestling Trader! |

Jarrett looks incredible. As a BCA kid, I'm really digging this line. I've ordered Meanie and plan to order Gillberg. My goal was to stick to guys who could have been released in the original line, but Ultimo and Sonny are really tempting. The selfie camera is such a great idea. I commend whoever is involved with creative in this line.

Thinking of some of the guys who have been signing figure deals lately with various independent companies and how they could fit into the BCW line...
-Ahmed Johnson (black NOD trunks)
-Savio Vega (pre-NOD look)
-Godfather (Kama and Goodfather)

-Brian Pillman (street gear)
-British Bulldog (1996 long tights and 1999 jeans)
-Justin Credible (Aldo Montoya attire)
-Chris Candido (Skip attire)
-Shane Douglas (Dean Douglas attire)
-Al Snow (Leif Cassidy attire)
-Mabel (King Mabel attire)
-Godwinns (Southern Justice attire and Mideon)
-Rock 'n' Roll Express (NWA invasion attire)
-Stevie Richards (1999 attire)
Others that could be cool:
-Bob Holly (Spark Plugg attire)
-Hakushi
-Marty Jannetty (New Rockers attire)
-Scott Taylor (Too Much attire)
-Sniper
-Furnas and Lafon
-Funaki
-Paul Ellering
-Bull Buchanan (Bossman and RTC attires)
-Public Enemy
-Mean Street Posse
-Kevin Kelly
-Shawn Stasiak (Meat and SVS 1999 attire)

Here’s a closer look at Ultimo, and the Sonny Onoo comparison pic we’ve all been waiting for:   |

Man, those both look great. They really weren't kidding, these will look so good next to original BCA's. There's enough to make them stand out, but subtle enough that they aren't an over the top difference.. if that makes sense. I'm really impressed with this line, this is the best work so far from these retro style figure companies.

Does anyone know of, or can recommend by name any protector sleeves/defenders that are compatible with these BCA packaged figures? Admittedly I haven't done much research prior to asking the question, but figure a more knowledgeable collector than myself would readily know of a manufacturer or reputable seller. Appreciate anyone and everyone's assistance with this in advance! Cheers gang |
