There have been a few, but the one that sticks out is DM Nakamura. I saw it at TRU once, didnt pull the trigger. Havent seen it since anywhere. Same. First time hit TRU near me there must have been twenty or more. DMs almost alwas shelfwarm near me so I figured Id come back in a week or two and get him. The next week they were all gone and I never saw him at retail again. Ended up getting him as a Christmas gift so alls well but I kicked myself for awhile

So happy I grabbed the HHH when I found it about a week back. Checked back at my TRU today to see what they had (and to visit it a bit more before it closes) and the whole series was gone..... the isles looked pretty bare.

I’ve been looking at fig collections on here for years and this by far the coolest layout I’ve seen. Doesn’t hurt that it is one of my favorite eras

Was recently rebitten by the BCA bug. I first got into wrestling in late 96 so it was the perfect time to delve into a full BCA obsession. Recently I’m watching thru the entirety of 95-97 on the network so I’ve been thrown back into the full love and concentration on BCAs. I’m fortunate that I still have most of my original collection intact and even MOC - all of the first series, Razor/diesel boxed set ... buried alive set, even all of the DTA and Shotgun series still MOC and stored. The thing is that most of that collection is at my parents house on the opposite coast, SO I’ve decided recently to buy one or two BCA pieces a month just to have here to display and appreciate - nothing overboard but a few of my favorite figs and sets. Kicked it off today by ordering one of my favorite sets of all time, the Raw is War set w Bret, sunny, Sid and Vince. I remember late 97 being w my parents at a giant indoor flea market in Jersey and seeing this set at a wrestling collectibles shop and I was floored by how awesome it was, I didn’t even know it was something that existed until I saw it that day (which never happens anymore obviously). Anyway, happy to be back to these awesome figures! 👽 Same here, except I started at the beginning of 1996 and have been watching all of the RAWs and PPVs in chronological order. I just watched the RAW after Badd Blood last night, so now I'm up to the early part of October '97. Pillman's dead, Kane just debuted, and DX is getting ready to take off. Meanwhile, Austin is white-hot looking to regain his I.C. title from Owen, and Bret has just a month left to go until Montreal. It's been fun watching the changes made to the main event scene that year. Every so often you'll see someone in the crowd with a BCA figure in hand, still in the packaging. Series 1 and 2 must've been available at the concession stands for months because it wasn't until recently that I began to see Austin's debut figure from Series 4 (despite the fact it was released back in July). It's around this period, during the fall of '97, that I think the Attitude Era truly began to take shape. It is a great evolution to watch, im at where its a few weeks after mania 13 w the new Raw set etc still being fresh. I def think 97 is the year when u see WWF/E transition into the monster that makes it take over thru til Today

Network HBK reminds me of when I first got into wrestling in 1996 and bought my first BCAs I have to agree exactly. My first ever figure was the aqua HBK and to have that figure upgraded (which i never thought would actually happen) is amazing. The network HBK has my vote

Amazing set, great choice of figures.... and the Razor is much cooler w the shirt. The HBK is amazing and I’ll get multiples but I really hope they include the tattoo, there’s no real excuse for that to be missing The attire is from the first ladder match with Razor, is it not? He had the tattoo by then so yah, he should definitely have it. . On another note, I wonder if Doink's wig will be removable so it can be swapped in and out with the hairpieces from the last one. Yup, the attire is WM10 so by 94 hbk already had that tattoo for a long time

It’s insane that the most visually recognizable, definitive HBK attire (red base w hearts that are black/white or white/red) has been ignored so far as an Elite option. Even Jakks avoided it, never releasing a classic Superstars HBK in this attire or classic superstars deluxe (the rubber LJN knockoff doesn’t count).
Hopefully soon we get either the Rumble attire Elite w entrance gear or one of the many versions he wore of that scheme thru 96/97, it would be such a cool iconic HBk to have and would look awesome moc w the entrance gear
