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!
