The Unreal Story of...Bone Crunching Action?

Well, not quite.

But it is "The Unreal Story of Professional Wrestling", and Jakks' BCA figures are showcased to represent the widespread popularity of professional wrestling in the late 1990s, especially in the marketing sector.

Skip to the 9:04 to 9:15 mark of the video below to see footage of:
  • The Tag Team Series 1 Legion of Doom figures loose, and a demonstration of what BCA is all about.


  • Steve Austin setting up his own Signature Series 1 figure opposite the Ringside Collection Series 1 Vince McMahon figure in the Raw is War Monster Ring, and the cheesy dialogue, consisting of sound clips, that follows.


  • The Special Edition Triple Threat 3-Pack displayed both MIB and loose with the first ever Jakks Pacific chair accessories. Just the thought of these three being in a Triple Threat match together makes me want to smash a steel chair over my head repeatedly.



Also, see if you can spot the two differences in the Raw is War Monster Ring from the actual version that was released in 1997 (hint: skip to 9:09 for a clear view).

I think Vince McMahon said it best shortly after the 9:15 mark when he said chronology has nothing to do with buying into the WWF's product.

"If you think young, act young, you know, then it appeals to you," he said.

Preach on, Vinnie Mac.
