I’m fine with it so long as it doesn’t take up residence in the main line. Maybe FC’s open to one-off releases for wrestlers who are fans of the figure style. I think that’s pretty cool for the wrestlers themselves, and if it draws in their fans and brings FC some exposure, it will be worth it in the long run. Shouldn’t cost a lot either since the Macho Man mold is existing tooling. In true BCA fashion, new parts (head, left arm) will be the minority.

I asked 3Lephant (Naptown Icon) about Warhorse, and he told me it’s just a custom. So, nothing to see there, but I do think there is potential in signing names you wouldn’t normally expect to see. Hell, I’d take a BCW Vlad if FC wanted to sign him up for one.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills (or possibly dreamt this) but I could've sworn I saw a story posted on the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast IG that showed a prototype of Mikey Whipwreck and it looked to be in the style of a ECW OFSTM figure. Am I just dreaming this or is this for real?

I'd love Mikey too in either BCA or OSFTM form.

Here’s the pic of Mikey: http://instagram.com/p/CiS-4t7OSJF If it had actually come out and looked like the render, that Mikey would’ve been a right pair with FC’s James Mitchell and OSFTM Tajiri.

I really hope they make the canceled Chainsaw Charlie BCA. The mini figure did come out, but we never got the full size one. It was suppose to be packaged with a Cactus Jack figure, but that figure was instead included in a Foley 3 pack and the 2 pack was replaced with a Lawler and Cristopher repaint.

I would also love a Funk figure. Depends on if he has a deal with WWE, or if his estate is open to many suitors. I would personally rather have a ‘97/‘98 Terry Funk than a Chainsaw Charlie. There are a lot of ‘90s looks to be made of Funk should FC want to do them. They could get at least two or three variants out of him.

Here’s a look at the Sonny Onoo prototype with camera accessory and trading cards: Sonny posted that pic on his socials. As crazy as it sounds, this is my most anticipated from the rest of Series 1.

I would love to get any Funk BCA, but to me the Chainsaw is like Tugboat from the Hasbro line. Getting a regular funk figure would be like getting Typhoon. I love that figure, but we still have that other one in the back of our minds.

A few shots of hand-painted Bone Crushing Wrestlers prototypes appear in this excellent new video by 3Lephant (Naptown Icon): FC hinted at it on their Instagram Stories: Here’s Series 2 Glacier (first shown in the video around the 20:02 mark): Series 1 Ultimo Dragon and “Macho Man” Randy Savage: Series 1 Sonny Onoo (variant) Again, these are all still in prototype form and are NOT final samples.

Here’s a screenshot of an update that FC sent out to previous customers by e-mail earlier today: And here’s a closer look at the BCW parts being assembled, and one more of the standard James Mitchell release:

@figheel shared this new pic of “Macho Man” Randy Savage from Series 1. If you compare it to the previous prototype image, you’ll notice that FC has given it a deeper tan than it previously had. You should expect the final product to look more like this latest pic. The designs on the removable hat are also painted all the way around, and even though it’s hard to tell because of the lackluster lighting, the color of the hair has changed for the better, too. Lines on the tights differ as well.

I held off on Ultimo just cos I'm picky about the scale. I might actually try and pick Savage up, though. Are they talking about a variant Macho as well?
