What's going on? VJB in 2010
As you can probably tell from reading the dates of my last few posts, I haven't kept up with the blog as much in the latter half of 2009. But, things will change come 2010.
I have plans to update the blog at least once a week in the near future with new content ranging from "What if?" posts to "Best/Worst of" lists, and possibly the largest gathering of all BCA figures produced in one tournament to declare the absolute favorite of collectors worldwide.
Maybe even the least favorite, too.
Who knows what 2010 will bring, including future eBay purchases of mine to continue re-building my BCA collection, but we'll know soon enough.
Happy New Years to everyone in advance, and please be safe.

BCA at MSG for Survivor Series 1996!
I was watching the second volume (1992-1996) of the new Survivor Series Anthology DVD set yesterday and noticed two BCA figures had made an appearance at Madison Square Garden on November 17, 1996, for the Survivor Series event.
At the 46 minute, 27 second mark of the disc, what I believe is a MOC Superstars Series 2 glow in the dark Undertaker is shown in the crowd shortly after Paul Bearer looks on in horror at the Undertaker pinning Mankind.
At the 53 minute, 11 second mark of the disc, while Goldust and Marlena are making their entrance for an eight-man Survivor Series elimination tag team match, a fan reaches out to showcase his MOC Superstars Series 1 Goldust.
Remember, both series were released earlier in the year, but it's quite possible that the initial Jakks Pacific WWF figures were available at the event that night for purchase at the merchandise stands.
Just an interesting, somewhat noteworthy sighting of BCA figures on WWF pay-per-view that I thought I would pass along.
Oh, and how great were the two marquee main event matches of Bret/Austin and HBK/Sid?
