Yeahā¦not doing this. I know most have good intentions when they draw attention to stuff like this, but Iāve just never been a fan of giving swappers the time of day. The act itself is scummy and discussing it is a breeding ground for negativity.

I will, but Iād be happier about it if the stage had been funded and the MNW line had a wider release.
As is, itās a fine addition to any WCW display. Could have been part of something greater, though.

Only way to fix loose joints is to torso crack them and tighten the screws. That only works for series 3 and after though because prior to that they didn't have screws and there is no way to fix them. I don't really recommend taking them apart just to tighten them though. I'd have to see what you mean with Goldust's head. Finished 2000 red jacket Paul Bearer Thanks for the response! The ones that are really bad are most likely from series 1 or 2. The all purple tie undertaker is the worst where there is actually a small gap on the right leg to the point where you can see the pin or screw. I packed them away until I can get a better bin but the Series 1 Goldust I received had a head that was barely attached so I had to use some superglue. Did goldust not have a standard peg for the head? I remember my breakdown in your house goldust had its head break off and I also have another one with that same issue. That Paul is amazing! Yes, Goldustās was not a standard peg. Neither were 8-Ball/Skull, Chyna, and Recon (not sure about The Interrogator). As BoneCrunchingCustoms said, anything released prior to Series 3 (Series 1, Series 2, Survivor Series 4-pack, and the first three Superstars 2-packs) used pins instead of screws, and thereās not much you can do to the parts themselves to correct them once theyāve gone loose. With the exception of Razor Ramon and Ultimate Warrior, all of the names released early on were later upgraded to the screws. If the screws loosen, you might be able to use something like dental floss for a temporary fix. Part swaps with figures from ā97 would be possible, too, if say you wanted to retain the torso, such as the all-purple tie Undertaker from Series 2. Great job on the Paul Bearer, BoneCrunchingCustoms! That wouldāve made for a killer 2-pack.

They said they removed the Bone Crunching feature because it held up production and removing it would speed the production process. If that is true, imagine how long these would have taken had they kept the feature. I feel like the air has been let out of the tires for this line. Having 1 version of savage while having 2-3 for much lesser-known talent doesn't make any sense to me either. I hope these do well. I loved the first 4 figures and was really hyped for these. I can say they got me back into collecting. Savage deal was only for one figure. If they could have swung multiple looks, they absolutely would have. There have been delays along the way, but those issues are being addressed. Yes, FC could go into greater detail about the problems theyāve faced with their line, but itās totally up to them to decide how they go about sharing it with their customers. I wholeheartedly believe that the rest of Series 1 will not disappoint. The length of time between releases is neither here nor there for me, personally. I just want the product to come out as good as can be.

Mine actually came today! Roughly a day and a half after I ordered it, which has got to be a record for me. I havenāt opened it yet, but I was relieved to see MC sent out the correct bundle. I was thinking thereās no way this set will arrive so soon, it must be a mistake, but I was proven wrong. Glad I decided to order when I did. Instant gratification ftw. Did you order the figs separately, or figs and ring one order? I ordered both together. Even if Iād have had to wait, I would have to save on shipping.

I ordered one of the figure bundle and one ring yesterday evening. A shipping label has already been created for the figure bundle, so it looks like MC isnāt waiting for the ring to be in stock before shipping part of my order. Thatās nice to see. Thatās good to hear. I just ordered the figs and ring one order assuming it was all ready to ship. Still no notification yet though. Some ppl already have the figs. Seeing posts on Instagram. What a great set. Canāt wait for wrestlemania week to see whatās next. Mine actually came today! Roughly a day and a half after I ordered it, which has got to be a record for me.

I would be up for it! Just depends on the day of the week. I think I could do most evenings or Sundays.

Got mine today. Packaging is excellent. Figures themselves are not anything special. This set really wouldāve been better with the Ultimate treatment.

Hey guys. Does anyone know or have photos of the scale difference between balk talking crushers and BCA? Also what kind of articulation are the BTC, Iāve never seen them in person. Thanks Theyāre about an inch taller than original BCA figures, so closer in height to the New BCA/TTL scale. Bodies feel more proportioned than BCA, and theyāre thicker than TTL. I think they were able to capture more details in the sculpts, but had to sacrifice some playability to get there. I bought all of Series 2 last year and reviewed them in a series of posts on my Twitter (linked below). I went into them completely blind as well, and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed them. Series 1 has the lackluster pre-Real Scan head sculpts, so Iām not sure if Iāll get those, but I do have the later Triple H/Kurt Angle/Chris Jericho figures on my radar. All-in-all, I think youāll be pleased so long as you donāt go into it expecting clones of BCA. x.com/vintagejakksbca/status/1702451314838356393Edit: Here are links to video clips of me testing out the sound features for each: The Rock - x.com/vintagejakksbca/status/1704622010653946148Road Dogg - x.com/vintagejakksbca/status/1704625907099419084Mankind - x.com/vintagejakksbca/status/1704628754914447528Stone Cold - x.com/vintagejakksbca/status/1704634099976024284

Do you have a pic without the jacket? Would you say the heads are too big for most Mattel torsos? How about Jakks? Whatās the head/neck peg situation look like? Thanks in advance! I really like the color choices for the regular attire.

This is the closest I could find to Ahmed with white trim. I was almost sure Iād seen him wear something like it earlier in his WWF run, but now I donāt know. Maybe it was just the reflection of the lights or background on his gear.

I know the email said theyre still in final production, but does that mean theres not an estimated ship date yet? Itchy to get that Macho Yeah, nothing yet. FC provides updates when they have them. I would expect to hear something new before everything shuts down temporarily for Chinese New Year, which is about a month away. I know itās been a frustratingly long wait for the rest of Series 1 to ship, but we just have to hang in there for the time being. Donāt want to get my hopes up too high, but Iām still optimistic that these hurdles along the way can be overcome.

Hi All Very random question. Do the cage and guardrail parts from the Jakks mini rings also fit the Brawl-4-All rings? Many thanks They should, seeing as how the ring mold never changed. Edit: Here are some pics:

Which ringside protective case fits the bca ? I got a S2 needs protecting. Thanks! I donāt think Ringside carries protectors for BCA figures any longer. Hereās a seller on eBay with some for Series 1/2: rb.gy/s5lihk

I would like to mix up my displays more often throughout the year, and possibly invest in some more/new cabinets. I donāt put enough effort into displaying my stuff, but Iām optimistic that can change at any time. Maybe 2024 will be the year I free up some totes and get to enjoying my figures the way Iāve always dreamed of doing. Fingers crossed all of our resolutions come true. š¤
