Do we know if there will be WCW or ECW talent included?
When they say "tribute" line, do they mean WWF talent who never got into the BCA line?
If it's just WWF talent that would be eligible my money goes to:
1-2-3 Kid
Jake Roberts
Jim Neidhart
Aldo Montoya
Mr. Fuji
Mr. Perfect
Chainsaw Charlie (proper scale not mini)
Golga
Mean Street Posse
Just to name a few.

Maybe something will win you over. If not this line, something else offered by Chella or FC. Do we know if there will be WCW or ECW talent included?

Anyone from that era of wrestling is eligible, not just WWF talent. I like all of those names. If there’s a way of doing even a third of them, I’ll be ecstatic. |

I never thought I'd be potentially buying BCA figures in my 30's lol. Do we know what the price point will be per figure yet? And where will they be available? Apologies in advance if this information hasn't been announced yet, I'm just too excited. |

Nothing announced yet mate, just the news that they’re coming next year. I’m curious what the price will be, I’m hoping for around the same as the Retros (£18-20) but it could even be cheaper which would be unreal. We’ll just have to wait I guess 😊 |

Typed up some notes after listening to 3Lephant (Naptown Icon)'s interview on The Run-In Podcast. Here's their social: Jack reiterated that BCWs will be in scale with the six-inch Jakks BCA figure line. Making them "as authentic as possible" to BCAs is the goal. Having said that, the figures are NOT going to have realistic heads. They'll be more like what you'd expect out of a '90s head sculpt. Jack said he pitched BCWs to Chella months ago, and by taking the lead on the project, he thinks they have appreciated that. Their partnership has only grown since FC became a U.S. distributor of their four-inch Retro line of figures. Said Charles from Chella is a real nice guy. Jack said Charles knows what he's doing. He's a fan just like the rest of us. "When you put two fans together on separate continents, we come up with some pretty wacky ideas." Jack also mentioned prototype pics are coming very soon for the four-inch Retro Luna & Gangrel figures. Pre-orders for the four-inch Retro Luna and Gangrel should be going up by late December/early January. As for BCW reveals, Jack doesn't want to reveal too much just yet. He said they have some stuff further along than people would think. At least one thing could be shown in Dec. Jack said making the BCWs look like they would fit right in with your old BCA figures is definitely the route that FC & Chella are taking. The artist working on the line is said to be a super BCA fan. Someone who grew up collecting and customizing BCAs and knows what he's doing. Jack's favorite part of the experience so far is being able to do the outreach with the talent themselves. He still can't believe it when he sees some of the names that come across his phone. Said if they're going to tackle that mid-to-late '90s era, females have to be included. Jack said he doesn't know if FC & Chella would want to put their resources & efforts behind a ring or accessories yet while he's still trying to sign names, which is costly in and of itself. When you're approaching a toy line, he says, you have to consider minimums & what sells. Are they going to get enough people to buy the BCWs? That's the ultimate question. Could they be using resources for someone else that would be more costly but a better seller? Jack said he's just trying to approach that process safely and smartly, to keep everyone happy. Masato Tanaka and Shawn Stasiak are two names that are asked about, and Jack said they have been talked about, but nothing is signed/sealed/delivered or anything like that. AAA legends who worked for the big promotions are mentioned. "Everybody has been discussed," Jack said. There could possibly be exclusives down the line, but for now, most things are going to be released as Series 1, 2, 3, etc. Because of COVID backlogs & the enormous amount of costs in starting up a toy line, the releases will be staggered, just as they are for Chella's Retros. "It might be more staggered towards the beginning," Jack says, "but my ultimate goal is to have everything out as close together as possible." FC gathering funds to acquire names for the line has not been cheap. Factor in thousands and thousands of dollars for the tools & molds. Jack said factory reps have handled the BCA mechanism for them, so he can't speak to whether it's simpler to produce now than it was in the '90s, but in his humble opinion, he thinks "it crunches and crushes a little bit better than the original." "It's a very satisfying noise." There will be one 2-Pack in each series for at least the first three sets. Jack said there are so many good tag teams and pairings and feuds that you can choose from during that mid-to-late '90s era. One of his many goals for the line is he wants to have a 2-Pack with every set. The first two series are basically locked up, sealed, and ready - as far as securing the names go - and Jack said they're finalizing the third series. As long as everything goes according to plan, he thinks the first three series will probably wrap them up for all of 2022. But there might be a few other little surprises along the way. Jack doesn't want to say anything yet, but there are a lot of things he's working on, in addition to the first three series. Jack doesn't want to make any promises, but he has a hard time imagining selling these for anything over $40 each plus shipping. He promises he will do his best to keep the cost down because he doesn't want to price anybody out of collecting the Bone Crushing Wrestlers line. Jack said it's been a lot for him to process, but he's grateful for everybody's support. He has full faith now that this is actually going to work out & be something that we all can be happy about. At times, he has felt like he's in over his head, but it hasn't stopped him. "This wasn't what I was technically built for. I didn't go to school for handling licensing agreements," Jack says, "but it's fun and it's a great learning experience." "I feel like it was meant for me, but I just didn't know it yet." |

If wcw is on the table, would be ecstatic if a two pack of glacier and mortis.
Has there been confirmation if BCW has access to the same talent as chella? Bull nakano and alundra blaze would be another one I’d like to see.

Obviously, I wouldn’t expect to see everyone converted from Retro to BCW style, but of those Chella/FC has direct access to and that fit the criteria for the BCW line? Sure, I don’t see why not. I’d think the lines of communication would be far more open to those names than someone not previously announced. Female wrestlers are being considered, so there’s certainly a chance that both Bull and Madusa could be made. |

I may be wrong, but I believe wwe would own the likeness to glacier and mortis maybe similar outfits and then Raymond Lloyd and Chris Kanyon instead of the gimmick names |

I like the sound of “everybody has been discussed”. If they get some seriously obscure names signed then I’ll be all for it!

I’m excited to see this line and want it to succeed. Outside of Andre the Giant, I can’t think of a single guy I would want to buy. I LOVED this era though.

I’m thinking it could be kronik… the guy confirmed Bryan Adams in the kronik gimmick is coming. He implied it would be in their elite style line but who knows |

If there are KroniK figures to be made, The Assassin must be hired on as a consultant. Straight faced, serious expressions only, please. |
