BCA Custom Corner #5 - Razor's Edge, Part One

Have you ever wondered what it must have been like to customize BCA figures throughout the era itself?

What did those people do with such limited resources early on?

For one thing, it took a hell of a lot of creativity and imagination to make their dreams come true.



One such example was The Razor's Edge Custom Wrestling Figures website which I stumbled upon recently by using the Internet Archive.

I've compiled a slideshow of only the WWF's Superstars as of right now, but I plan to add WCW and ECW characters in future posts. Fortunately, most of the images on the website could still be recovered despite being 11 years old.

The slideshow embedded at the top of the post gives you access to images of 24 WWF customs, most of which were created long before Jakks submitted its versions.

It is a very impressive bunch considering what the customizer had to work with, and figure fans today can appreciate the raw, seemingly effortless combination of parts for these BCA customs.

Owen Hart in his Hart Foundation attire might be my favorite because of the clean application of paint that was made to it. Not to say that one is better than the others, as I think there is something for everyone in Razor's Edge's work.

So, which is your favorite and what are your impressions of these customs?

Until next time, thanks for looking and have a nice day!

Variant Spotlight - Special Guest Referees

It's hard to believe that the Ringside Collection Series 1 Referee BCA figure was based on Harvey Whippleman.

In the words of current WWE champion The Miz: Really? No, really Jakks?

If his likeness in figure form never piqued your interest, there was always the alternative of a special guest referee figure of one of your favorite WWF Superstars.


Unfortunately, you would have to wait until more than halfway through the BCA line's existence (think spring 1999) to see the first repainted referee attire - Vince McMahon in the Judgment Day 3-pack.


Next comes Mrs. Foley's baby boy, Mankind, donning the vertical zebra stripes in the second Raw Is War 4-pack, this one released in the late summer months of 1999.


Finally, "Big Nasty"...err..."The Big Show" Paul Wight would be transformed into the world's largest referee in the No Chance 3-pack which was available in the fall of '99, or nearing the end of the BCA figure run.


Though none of these would be considered variants by figure collectors, they are exclusive repaints that were a special treat in the BCA line.

Only those three wrestling personalities would receive the treatment as Jakks had started the process too late in the game.

Or, one could assume that Jakks saw to it that the market wasn't flooded with referee repaints in every BCA boxed set, so they only greenlighted three of the many that were surely considered.

I mean, couldn't you picture them releasing a special guest referee Undertaker? Not to mention, it's a Festivus miracle that Austin never had a referee repaint of his own.


The concept would continue on through many other Jakks figure lines including RA and CS as special guest referee figures can never be put down for the count.

Until next time, thanks for looking and have a nice day!

LVJR - Clap your hands and S.T.O.M.P. your feet!

For the eleventh installment of my "Latest Vintage Jakks Receivings" posts I present to you the S.T.O.M.P. series in all its glory, or at least that's what I'm calling it.

I bought three separate MOC figure lots from the same eBay seller nearly a month ago for $67 shipped, or $3.72 each, as a birthday present to myself.

Years ago, I probably would have said that I gave myself the worst birthday present anyone could give (I mean, c'mon, S.T.O.M.P. figures?!?). But, as the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

I'm sure the origin of that quote had absolutely nothing to do with six-inch plastic toys depicting professional wrestlers in scuba, space and camouflage gear, but I can never be sure.

S.T.O.M.P. Series 2 "Underwater Siege" (from left to right): Rocky Maivia, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Headbanger Mosh, Headbanger Thrasher, Owen Hart and Chyna.

S.T.O.M.P. Series 3 "Space Domination" (from left to right): Kane, Undertaker, LOD 2000's Hawk, LOD 2000's Animal, Marc Mero and Sable.

S.T.O.M.P. Series 4 "Camo Carnage" (from left to right): Chyna, B.A. Billy Gunn, Stone Cold Steve Austin, HHH, X-Pac and Road Dog Jesse James.

Everyone should know by now the absurdity of the S.T.O.M.P. figure line and its nonexistent correlation to the WWF programming of the late 90s, but there is still something attractive about it.

Could it be the numerous accessories packaged with each figure that makes them special?

Is it the unidentifiable costumes worn by the wrestlers that makes us fantasize of all that could exist in another realm with our favorite WWF Superstars?

Are we all mindless sheep for buying into Jakks' concoction of horse crap otherwise known as S.T.O.M.P. figures?

Possibly.

All that matters is that I'm the fool who dropped $67 on these figures and you're the smart one in this equation. And every other one.

As you can see, there is a lot to take in here with all three complete series (Underwater Siege (#2), Space Domination (#3) and Camo Carnage (#4)).


Personally, I prefer series 2 and the underwater theme because, well, I've always liked when water and wrestling come together. Remember those old WCW Nitros during spring break when the ring was surrounded by water? Yeah, I don't know how that has anything to do with BCA figures either.

I remember always liking the Series 2 Owen Hart figure as a kid when I had used earlier BCA versions of the "King of Harts" for customs and that was all that was left. I've wanted to buy it again for a few years now, but I had hoped to be able to find the rest around the same time so I wouldn't have to spend as much.


And that's what I did. I probably never owned half of these figures, especially the Camo Carnage ones, when I was younger, but I feel like I can appreciate them more since I bought them myself.

It's just too bad the Camo Carnage series wasn't in scale with the original BCA figures, because some of the likenesses are great and the added articulation was a welcome gift from Jakks prior to the launch of the TTL line.

I think too often we try to compare the S.T.O.M.P. figures and Slammers figures with the regular BCA line and that just isn't fair. They should stand on their own accord and be judged for what they are and not what they aren't.

I guess the same could be said for anything, so maybe we aren't all that different from the S.T.O.M.P. figures that most despise.

Oh, who am I kidding, they're still horse crap!

My take: It's taken some time, but I'm beginning to appreciate the effort more than anything from the S.T.O.M.P. figure line. I can't speak for everyone, but I would suggest giving them a try if you can find the figures complete with accessories for a cheap price (under $3-4 each MOC).

If not the first three series, than definitely the Camo Carnage series since it almost shouldn't be classified with the other S.T.O.M.P. figures. They may be the most underrated figures to come out of the BCA era.

Fun fact: Of the three series shown in this post, Series 2 Headbanger Mosh is the only new S.T.O.M.P. head sculpt to never be reused elsewhere in the BCA line.

Until next time, thanks for looking and have a nice day!

Hbreakid interviews Jakks, circa 1999

If there was any wrestling figure-related website I looked up to and frequented more than my browser's home page as a youngster, it would be Hbreakid's old digs.

Speaking of digs, I discovered his old Geocities page while searching the Internet Archive some time ago.


No, it's not the one with the cool graphics and emphasis on his incredible custom figures and accessories during Jakks Pacific's TTL era, but it's still worth checking out for old news reports toward the end of the BCA line.

Better yet, you can go back and read from a Q&A session that Hbreakid (HBK) recorded with Serge (SRG), an employee at Jakks in the late 1990s.

Here is a modified transcript (see: easier to read) of the two interviews, and it's all about the WWF's product from 1999.

---

First posted: October 5, 1999

Transcript

HBK: Do you know why Jakks decided to switch their WWF line to all-plastic figures (TTL)?

SRG: To answer honestly, I'm not sure. It was a decision made by the big cheeses here. My best guess [is] they wanted to go in a new and, in their view, improved direction with the wrestling figures and TTL was the result.

HBK: Any plans in the making for a "Lion's Den"?

SRG: Yes. We still need approval from the WWF since Ken Shamrock is leaving to go back to the UFC and we're told he owns the rights to the Lion's Den. If the WWF decides to buy it and continue to use it in programming after Shamrock leaves, then yes, we'll definitely make it for sure.

HBK: Once Jakks comes out with superstars like Y2J, Acolytes and any other WWF superstars for Jakks' TTL line, what will Jakks do for their music? [Will they] make more Titantrons for 30 bucks a pop with new music?

SRG: That's a good question, and one I don't have an answer to yet.

HBK: Any plans for a crowd? Jakks should make [one] something like this. Are there any plans for one?

SRG: We're working on it.

HBK: And the last thing is...anything you can comment on [that] I didn't ask?

SRG: Look for the absolute best and most realistic-looking Billy Gunn figure you've yet to lay eyes on...in TTL Series 3, I think, [which is a] couple months away.

Now, for an extra special treat, here is an additional interview which I believe was recorded before the one in October '99.

---

Transcript

HBK: Do you know if there are any plans to make a Hell in the Cell, Lion's Den or a Buried Alive set? Is there any that you know and I didn't list?

SRG: We've been trying to come up with a way to do Hell in the Cell while still maintaining playability. We were developing a Mini-Ring Buried Alive set but that's been axed until further notice.

HBK: Does the WWF play any role in who to create next or is it just up to Jakks?

SRG: Sometimes, in certain circumstances. The last wrestler we did upon Titan Sports' request was Dr. Death in Superstars 7. He's not a very big seller.

HBK: When does Jakks Pacific's contract with the WWF end? When it ends, will it be renewed?

SRG: I'm not exactly positive on the exact year it ends. I want to say 2002. I know it's in that ballpark. Will it be renewed? I don't know.

HBK: [Does] Jakks have any plans on making figures with knee and elbow joints like ToyBiz?

SRG: We have made figures like that. Check out S.T.O.M.P. Series 4: Camo Carnage. And, here's a tip: the first shipment of Camo Carnage has guns. The next shipment won't due to a new company policy: no gun accessories. So, get the one with guns now before they're in hot demand later.

HBK: Is there any chance we would ever see [an] Austin figure with a hand gesture?

SRG: Probably when we make an Austin holding a beer can. Probably never.

What did I learn from those two interviews?

Well, it's pretty much the usual from Q&As with Jakks Pacific. You might learn one new thing that's due to come out, but it's mostly just filler or fluff.

You can see where the wheels were in motion for the later Hell in a Cell playsets beginning in 2001, but it's also interesting to see where the Lion's Den concept fell flat with Shamrock's departure.

I know that Jakks could have learned a thing or two from Hbreakid on how to make custom Hell in a Cell and Buried Alive accessories, as seen below.



Really, it's the kind of work you just have to admire from in front of your computer screen as a kid.

What was the highlight of the interviews for me, you might be asking yourself?

I'm not one to use the phrase that often, but Titan Sports deserves an epic fail for insisting that Dr Death be included in Superstars Series 7.

I would say I enjoyed a nice, hearty laugh at "He's not a very big seller", but that would be the understatement of the century.

At least we can all savor in the thought of Jacqueline's banishment to the Signature Series; what a disaster that could have been for the Superstars line.

Until next time, thanks for looking and have a nice day!

The Backlash series leaves its mark

If you've frequented the BCA thread on the WF forums, then I'm sure you have seen me reference the Backlash series from time to time.

And I'm sure you've also heard me say that it, not the Signature Series, was the official end of production for Jakks Pacific's BCA line of wrestling figures.

The many color cardings of the Backlash line are evident in this MOC figure lot.

The original Backlash series (more on that in the next paragraph) lasted all the way into the year 2001, believe it or not, with the fifth assortment, but most collectors may not remember much about it since it was relatively hard to find.

All five series were exclusive to Kay Bee Toys stores, and the same Backlash title was reincarnated later for the newer BCA style figures which eventually gave way to the cheap TTL figures that we all know and, well, don't really love as they clog up shelf space even today.

However, Jakks Pacific's intentions were good from the start - release updated repaints of previously-released wrestlers in the BCA line to appeal to collectors looking for "new" BCA figures after they were once thought to be dead and buried.

In some ways, the Backlash repaints are a lot like Frankenstein, except he was a little prettier.

It's a mixed bag of effort combined with detail from the folks at Jakks considering it was so late in the game that the BCA line was now operating under Sudden Death rules in quadruple overtime.


Series 1 arrived at KB Toys stores in the fall of 2000 and included such names as Big Boss Man, Edge, Hardcore Holly, HHH, Road Dogg, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin and X-Pac.

WWF Backlash Series (KB Toys Exclusive):
Series 1 & 2 (Peach Carding)
Big Boss Man
The Rock (x2)
Road Dogg (Jesse James)
Shawn Michaels
Undertaker
X-Pac
Edge
Hardcore Holly
Stone Cold Steve Austin (x2)
Triple H (x2)
Kane
Al Snow

As you can probably tell from the checklist I've created, I need to figure out where the line divides between series 1 and 2. Clearly, there wouldn't have been two Rocks, two Austins and two HHHS in the same series, so one for each series makes sense to me.


Al Snow, Kane (shown above), Shawn Michaels, Undertaker and the other Rock/Austin/HHH figures must have come from series 2 then. Eight for the first wave and seven for the second wave, again, makes sense to me.

I would assume that the second series of the Backlash figures was released towards the end of 2000, but unfortunately I don't have a date to be sure of that.


I do know that series 3, which was changed to a blue color carding from the peach color used for series 1 and 2, was available in stores around March 2001.

Series 3 includes even more repaints of your favorite wrestlers, including Billy Gunn, Edge, Kane, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Test, Triple H and Undertaker.


Changing once again to a green color carding, the Backlash series reached its fourth installment during the heat of summer in July 2001. The line-up consists of Big Boss Man, Billy Gunn, Edge (shown above), Kane, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H and Undertaker (noticing a trend?).


Finally, the fifth series of Backlash figures was released on an orange card and is, for all intents and purposes, the absolute LAST series of BCA figures produced by Jakks Pacific with the original molds. Yes, there was a newer BCA style of figures introduced later that year, but this series here marked the official end of the BCA era in...October 2001.

Who's in it, you ask?

Al Snow, Hardcore Holly, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Test, Undertaker, Val Venis and X-Pac.

That's your final BCA line-up and it is not so much underwhelming as it is sad to see the line end on a bunch of measly repaints. Maybe that was all it was ever meant to be and I shouldn't have given it that much thought.

Everyone wants the best for whatever it is they feel invested in, and I'm no different as a collector. I want(ed) the best for the BCA line, but I'm thankful it was even given a second chance with the Backlash series.


Ironically, as it turns out, the series 3 Triple H figure is my favorite in the entire BCA line.

I guess it's never too late to make an impression.

LVJR - The Nine Lives of BCA

I could have timed this better, what with there being nine new purchases and this post (the tenth in a series of "Latest Vintage Jakks Receivings") missing the mark by one; it coulda been-uh contenda, I tell you!

*Sigh*

Oh well, worse things have happened, like being outbid on a S.T.O.M.P. Series 1 Undertaker when it COULD HAVE completed your Series 1 collection. But...I wouldn't know anything about that...

So, for the tenth installment of my LVJR posts, I bring to you nine 10 figures which are completely new to my rebuilt collection.


I bought these nine figures for the purpose of filling out a few series (Signature, Slammers and S.T.O.M.P.) that I haven't addressed in quite some time.

All nine were purchased from the same eBay seller for just under $25 shipped, or $2.50 each in mint condition.


For those unfamiliar with the aforementioned series, Signature figures include facsimile signatures (usually found on the thigh), Slammers figures have various action features (akin to the Hasbro WWF line from the early 90s) and S.T.O.M.P. figures are fantasy/fictionalized representations of the wrestlers with many unique accessories.


There certainly isn't a shortage of accessories in the S.T.O.M.P. series, but the decision to have them follow a particular theme which has no relation whatsoever to pro wrestling is...puzzling, to say the least.


However, each of these figures provides a suitable alternative to their regular BCA counterparts in case you, the collector, or your parents from back in the day were unable to find the preferred versions in stores.

That doesn't excuse Jakks Pacific for spending valuable time on lesser series when the Superstars figures could have been given more attention and more releases, but it's all a moot point now.

Although you can't see it with MOC images, the figures beneath the bubble are just as detailed as any regular BCA, so again give credit to Jakks for providing re-releases with the same amount of detail as the original releases.

Should we really give thanks for re-releases? I can just picture everyone violently shaking their heads to that question. Moving on...

Last time, I said that I hadn't reached my threshold yet for becoming sick and tired of Slammers figures and, to be honest with you, not much has changed.

On the contrary, I think I'm actually beginning to like them.

While the world collectively gathers brain matter splattered across its keyboard right now, I'll repeat that I'm actually beginning to like Slammers figures.

I'm not about to re-create any 60-minute mat classics with them, but the action features, specifically Goldust and Mankind's gorilla arms, wouldn't be so bad without the plastic levers protruding from their mid-to-lower backs.

Imagine if there had been added articulation for BCA figures and it wasn't obtrusive for play? I know it's a pipe dream, but the Slammers series did give us hope.

It also gave us our first 6-inch Kane figure and debuts for Dude Love, The Patriot and Taka Michinoku. So...there's that.


My take: Look, your first option should always be Superstars series figures, but there's nothing wrong with opting for the Signature or Slammers series. S.T.O.M.P., on the other hand, is...an acquired taste.

In most cases, you either like them or you don't, but I'm a perennial fence rider when it comes to S.T.O.M.P. figures. I can't choose sides, but I will recommend them to collectors of wrestling figures-from-a-different-universe.

Not quite "Masters of the Universe", more like "Servants of the Universe."

Fun fact: Forget King of the Ring 1996, "Austin 3:16" was born in Signature Series 1, which has the first Austin wrestling figure ever to wear the iconic t-shirt in plastic form.

Until next time, thanks for looking and have a nice day!

Figure Review #5 - Fully Loaded Series 1 Triple H

It was a career-defining moment for Triple H on the night of August 30th, 1998.


He claimed the Intercontinental Championship after a grueling 26-minute ladder match with The Rock at SummerSlam, much to the delight of the 21,588 Madison Square Garden-faithful in attendance.

Although he had been an Intercontinental champion before, Helmsley had never competed in a feud as high-profile as the one where he led DX to the front lines to battle with The Rock and his Nation of Domination in the summer of 1998.

Helmsley’s reign was a short one due to a legitimate knee injury he was facing at the time, so the WWF vacated ownership of the title and held a tournament to crown a new champion in October of the same year.

Ken Shamrock would become the eventual winner after defeating HHH’s DX stablemate X-Pac in the finals on the October 12th, 1998, edition of Raw is War.

Triple H’s third IC title win was delayed another 2-and-a-half years until April 2001, but he managed to bide his time with a measly four WWF Heavyweight Championship wins during that span. His ascension to the top of the company was quick and ruthless, hence why he earned the nickname “The Cerebral Assassin.”


But for fans of his from the days of spraying water on fans with a super-charged Super Soaker to the invasion of “Dubya Cee Dubya” with DX decked out in camo gear, there is always wrestling action figures to commemorate Triple H’s rise to superstardom.

Jakks Pacific did not waste any time in preparing an official release of Helmsley’s debut BCA figure in the “Bad Boys” Superstars Series 4 assortment in early 1997, but it wasn’t until series 6 was available in the fall of 1998 that an accurate mold of “The Game” arrived on the scene.


As was customary for any new release, multiple repaints and re-releases were commissioned of Triple H’s bulky Superstars Series 6 figure from late 1998 through 1999. One in particular, Helmsley’s Fully Loaded Series 1 repaint, struck the right chord with collectors since it captured a memorable moment in Triple H’s career – his IC title ladder match victory over The Rock at SummerSlam 1998.


Who could possibly forget the bright, shiny metallic purple attire that Triple H wore while in the midst of searching for his own identity in the WWF’s upper mid-card?

It was a favorite among fans and, soon enough, collectors too.


Fully Loaded Series 1 had plenty to offer those eager to add something new to their collections, but would Triple H’s figure depicting his SummerSlam 1998 attire live up to the hype?

Yes, to an extent it does, and it remains a favorite of BCA collectors, including myself, to this day, but there are a few flaws that I feel obligated to point out.

Head:

While there is a decent likeness to be had in the face, you wouldn’t know it by having to look past the glaring issue that is Helmsley’s bleach-blonde hair. Jakks experimented with a couple different shades for this sculpt in the BCA line, but this one does no favors for an otherwise good expression. Grade – 2.5/5

Torso:

I always liked this torso for Helmsley and felt that it fit him like a glove, but it could do with a little less definition. Grade – 4.5/5

Arms:

They’re big, maybe too big in some people’s opinions, but I think Triple H’s arms are just big enough to accommodate the torso. It’s a significant upgrade from the gorilla-like arms used for his debut figure, and they get the job done with limited articulation. The all-around thickness shaves off a few points for me. Grade – 4/5

Legs:

The logos are not a perfect match and painting over the belt mold as if to suggest that the belt buckle and loops are nonexistent is a no-no, but the lower half of this figure is what makes, well, the figure what it is! No, it’s not entirely accurate, but you have to commend Jakks for their effort. They truly did the best with that they had, and I guess that can be taken for what it’s worth. Grade – 4/5

Accessories/Other:

Triple H comes with a non-functional Super Soaker accessory, or “Blastin’ Bazooka” as Jakks calls it for copyright reasons, and it’s freaking awesome. Well, it doesn’t actually do anything, but just the concept alone was genius to include with a semi-commemorative Triple H figure.

If only I could find the clip of DX using their Super Soaker, but this will just have to do for now (completely off-topic, but it’s funny nonetheless).

Granted, a yellow ladder with silver rungs or Intercontinental title belt would have been more appropriate in capturing the essence of Helmsley’s SummerSlam 1998 win for his Fully Loaded Series 1 figure, but the Super Soaker is a great consolation prize. Grade – 4/5


Overall: 19/25

Considering that it is just a repaint of a previously-released figure, Fully Loaded Series 1 Triple H is, as I said before, good for what it is and it gets the job done.

I didn’t anticipate there being as many differences in the designs on the figure’s tights as compared with the actual attire worn by Triple H at SummerSlam 1998, but maybe it wasn’t meant to be a direct representation. And even if it was intentional, would it really be that noticeable without my having to do a closer inspection for this review?


Probably not, and I don’t think many collectors would care either way. It’s a solid repaint that I’m sure brought a lot of joy to kids of the late 90s who watched Chyna assist Triple H in winning the Intercontinental title from The Rock at the WWF’s annual summer spectacular.

The figure itself may not be spectacular, but the moment it represents is and will live on for future generations.

Until next time, thanks for looking and have a nice day!

BCA Custom Corner #4 - Joe/Shinzaki are ready to Rock

The fourth installment of BCA Custom Corner is unusual in that neither wrestler identifies with the Attitude era, but both Samoa Joe and Jinsei Shinzaki (Hakushi in the WWF) customs are technically BCA figure molds.

So, considering the purpose of this post is to commend others for their excellent work, I feel like both are worth showcasing on the blog.

Ianarchy over at FigureRealm.com is the creator or mastermind behind these two custom BCA figures, which sounds insulting to call them that since they are far better than anything Jakks Pacific could muster up.

First we'll start with Samoa Joe whose head choice is nearly indecipherable beneath all of the sculpting. Can you guess which BCA head was used? See the answer and how the figure was made here!

Samoa Joe:

For more images of the Samoa Joe finished product, look here.

Anyway, there is certainly a lot to admire with this particular custom. From the re-sculpted head and the flabby torso that is modified to near-perfection to the appropriate thickness of the arms and legs and detail, detail, detail, Samoa Joe is ready to go up against any other custom and kill the competition.

My favorite aspect would be the torso, because I know that when I see the work that's been done, I associate it with Joe. I don't know if it would elicit the same response from me if, say, the torso were used for another wrestler, but it does for Samoa Joe and that's all that's needed.

You've got to love the accessories too, but isn't it more impressive when the accessories aren't that big of a deal because the figure itself is so good? That's what we have here.

Shinzaki, on the other hand, was made from one figure only -- Superstars Series 8 "Team Corporate" The Rock. Want to see how it was made? Click here!

Jinsei Shinzaki:

For more images of the Jinsei Shinzaki finished product, look here.

He might not have symbols all over his body, but you can see the resemble to Jinsei's Hakushi WWF gimmick in the mid-90s. If there's any high-flying mid-carder from mid-90s WWF who should have stayed long enough to have his own BCA figure, it's Shinzaki.

The symbols along the outer portion of his legs look crisp, and I especially enjoy the cleft added to the toe of his boots. Shinzaki's upper body is phenomenal and another excellent torso choice which couldn't look better.

In my opinion, Shinzaki has Joe beat in the accessories department with the boomerang-like belt strap, but you literally cannot go wrong with either.

Good luck deciding the better of the two; I'll just be here trying to figure out which parts were used while I marvel at both sets of images.

If you would like your BCA customs to be shown in a future edition of BCA Custom Corner, please e-mail the images to me at tmac152303@yahoo.com with the subject "BCA Custom Corner."

Until next time, thanks for looking and have a nice day!
