For all the involvement Brian's mom had in buying him the figs, I want an interview with her about what she remembers about finding all these and catering to his demands! 😂

That would be such a nice treat to have a miniature talk segment asking their parents “Christmas 97, I’m in 7th grade. What are you thinking while I’m losing my mind over Hunter Hearst Helmsley’s figure in the weeks leading up?”

Mid 90s product was pretty junk but the figures were better, late 90s was a way better in ring product imo

In hindsight, I wish I cleaned out the Kay Bees of the Hasbro figures they still had. Back in 1996-1999ish you could still get the 3 for $10 deal on Hasbro's.

My brother bought me Bret and my cousin Shawn Series 1. We later got Vader which was the first one that broke. Went to TRU, found the Monster ring, but couldn’t afford it, then I ran into my aunt who gave me birthday money. I bought the ring and my cousin opened it right outside the store. I think we ended up with like 40 figs and I still have most of them till this day.

@deadbrothers8348 7 месяцев назад

Best podcast going today !! Bca fed was the absolute best fig fed of all time, kept books of all the Raws and ppvs , had entrance music , and my imagination was unbelievable! I wish you guys would do these deep dives like twice a year, so awesome dudes

@Ringmaster138 7 месяцев назад

Amazing video. Already watched it twice. Accoring to Ultimate Warrior's shoot interview with RF Video, the phrase, "Always Believe" was not supposed to be on the Jakks package. When Warrior saw the packaging at a Toy Fair, he was upset and called Linda Mcmahon to complain. Warrior was no showing events and before the figure was sent to stores, he was gone from WWF.

@nddoubleu 4 месяца назад

This episode brings back so much nostalgia. The first time I remember seeing BCA’s, i went with my mom to Walmart before school and I saw series 1 HBK in blue and series 2 glow in the dark Undertaker. Those were my first two action figures of the BCA’s. When Brian mentioned he kept the cards after opening them I did the same thing. Jakks Pacific transcended the wrestling figures. Great episode. 🙌

@priceyyy88 7 месяцев назад

Brilliant! Makes you want to get out there and start a BCA collection if you haven’t already. Well done guys!

@WrestlePlanet 7 месяцев назад

My first ever figures were Steve Austin and The Rock Bone Crunchers on Christmas Day in the late 90s. Tomorrow, my son will open his first wrestling figures, The Rock and Cody Rhodes basics, and a Wrekkin Forklift with Brock Lesnar. This is my chance to start a brand new fig fed from scratch with my new co-booker. Merry christmas Major Marks. ❤️

@rogerl9293 7 месяцев назад

Great video gentlemen. Some info from I can remember around these in the UK. Initially they were only available via mail order. I don’t think we got the first set until mid-97. The first time I got them was at the merch stand at One Night Only. They had a separate figure stand and they were selling Bret, Shawn, Taker and Goldust. I got Bret and Taker. Good memories. Keep up the great content!

@anthonyshipman3611 7 месяцев назад

I don't really remember but I am sure I got the undertaker and Shawn from Argos, I wouldn't have got them anywhere else. Just left a comment and had a look to see if there was any other UK comments for more detail. All the best.

@bigvis497 7 месяцев назад

Seeing BCA Series 1 out of the blue at TRU as a kid was definitely one of those holy shit moments. Funny story - for some reason, I thought the figures talked. They had a quote for each wrestler on the front, and I wasn't clear on what Bone Crunching Action meant. Plus, the microphone on the back. I really thought each wrestler said his quote somehow!

@sdzero 7 месяцев назад

"Bone Crunching Action" was where it was at! Those were my first wrestling figures and once they lost that rubbery flexibility, they didn't feel like wrestling figures in my mind. They should really bring back that rubberized crunching reinvented with the better details and articulation. What would a new era of these figures look like?

@kmajorleague 7 месяцев назад

I’ve been saying for years that w a more cost effective, less articulated, cartoonish action figure for kids under the age of 10 to really get rough with would be dope. Figures today are great, but something under $10 that kids could get rough with would ease my pain rather than handing my nieces and nephews a $27 elite figure I’d love some cartoonishly jacked McIntyre with Claymore Kick! to battle it out with Kevin Owens without worrying about paint scuffs

@sdzero 7 месяцев назад

@@kmajorleague I can just imagine the new bone crunching action series with new digital tech for the sculpts and accurate proportions to scale. Man...that would be so cool. Why hasn't anyone done this yet?

@bloodanddajugs 7 месяцев назад

I love the Jakks figures. While Hasbro’s were fun but I feel like Jakks Bone Crunchers for all their flaws were the resurrection of “ Wrestling Toys “ . The Hasbro era, the wrestlers were live action cartoon characters so it made sense to have their toys fit in with your Ninja Turtles and other toys. As the Mid 90’s changed the business the wrestlers felt like wrestlers again and Jakks felt like they weren’t fitting with your other toys, like the LJN’s these were toys for Wrestling! The rubbery bodies and crunching bones, the LJN repurposed ring, they broke and become “ Injured “ and would be glued, these were for slamming and Wrasslin! Fun. My favorite memory is having JJ go off the top ropes with my little brothers careful toss and somehow he landed Head first on top of Shawn Michaels who we had standing on his own, stayed perfectly vertical head to head for a solid second before they both tumbled down. We freaked out, keep your bleeding Jesus Statues, our miracle was the miracle of the Jeff Jarrett top rope Dhalsim spike.

@TVindustries5000 7 месяцев назад

i still think these figures had the best playability out of all wrestling figure lines. i got my first figures in 98 i was 5. later on there was the titan trons. I thought they looked super cool but not too good to play with. and it was the same with the RA figures that followed. could no longer do power bombs easily or frankensteiners easily. I was out of interest in wrestling when the mattels came out, i thought they looked scrawny and the basics standing straight just like the RA figs but somehow worse. Even in the RA era, i wanted BCAs. I remember ordering with my parents thru Wrestling Super Store i believe. I wanted a jerry lawler figure so bad and got a Bad Boys series one for christmas one year. I also got a Gangrel because i thought he was so cool. I remember as a kid, another kid had a bret hart which was the first time i had ever seen one in person i was desperate for him to trade with me so i brought several figures and he begrudginly gave him to me. It was SUPER beat up, arm almost falling off, crack in torso, and loosey goosey but i loved it and would just look at it and admire it

Brian's voice started frogging-out a lil' bit with the Razor-Diesel 2 pack story. Either i"m overthinking it, or he chokes-up thinking about it. Which would be super cool, because I can relate with so many stories like that growing up

@IamIzayis 7 месяцев назад

I used to bug my older brother to take me to toys r us or Walmart like every weekend to look for figures… the first ones I had were Bret hart and diesel… picked up glow in the dark Taker and stone cold after.. had to have been the bad boys one.., I remember an employee stocking the shelves saw me picking it up and him saying “man everyone asking for that guy.. everyone a stone cold fan… I literally just put him on the shelf and he’s gone” 😂 …my mom would give us $5 every morning when we head out to school.. I’d use it sparingly until I saved up $20 and beg my brother to take me to the store… I was bummed we never got a Roddy Piper.. always wanted one for my Goldust to fight..i never got a razor either.. when in later waves we got Vince in wrestling gear… I swapped his arms out and put them on my stone cold because he had the black taped wrists without the elbow pads… and vise versa…also by this point they brought out a new stone cold head mold much smaller and fit way better…

There was a stone cold bone cruncher minus the stars. Not sure of card back or series number but exactly same as first release minus stars on boots. (I remember this because I had to hunt for the one without stars when it was fist released.) Also closer to end of BC line has action features Stone cold that performs kick for stunner doesn't have stars either. The Championship box TRU exclusive was the only place to get bone cruncher belts.

Puzzle Zoo Razor & Diesel probably had something to do with the WWF lawsuit against WCW. for the same reason Fake Razor & Fake Diesel even existed, the argument that they owned the characters and the characters still existed.

i was a die hard hasbro kid. however, I only had a handful of the jakks style figs. I grabbed a vader and mankind on a road trip when i was in the 6th grade and later an austin repaint when he was in his stone cold university gear and the last one I remember getting was a jim ross with the 'war tony' misprint. i also got a raw is war monster ring later on.. but I think I had tapped out on wrestling figs after that.

@Fardawg 7 месяцев назад

When these came out I was pretty much past buying toys, though I still walked the isles to see what was there. I remember being disappointed that these didn't come out when I was a younger kid. They seemed to be exactly what I always wanted from a wrestling toy. My brother had a nice selection from the first line or two of LJNs and I loved them despite being statues, but they weren't around long before my brother sold them. I didn't like the Hasbros that much because of the lack of articulation and the limiting action features that froze many of them into specific move poses (I especially disliked the jumpers with their legs stuck together and deformed back hunches). I only had two or three of them, which I enjoyed, but never got more than that. I do have nostalgia for them now, though. The Bendems never appealed to me and felt like cheap alternatives and toys for much younger kids. I always thought wrestling figures should be more like He-Man figures, which to me had what would be the perfect neutral wrestling pose. So I would have loved the AWA figures, but I never came across them as a kid. The Bone Crunchers reminded me of that neutral pose. The only things I didn't like from what I saw were the arms that seemed too long and the shorts on figures like Razor looking like tiny speedos. To this day I have actually never handled a Bone Cruncher and have no idea what the bone crunching action feels like, despite seeing them in vintage toy stores. I need to remedy that.

@j.rivera6402 6 месяцев назад

I was collecting Jakks BCA figures, damn near day 1. Great figures! Soooo fucking mad that I gave them to my little cousin. I had the raw is war monster ring and like 40 figures.
