Will the several different looks of Crush be applied to the BCA line or just the Retro? Should apply to both. Although, for BCW, I would imagine the two versions shown will get the majority of the focus at this time. I’m hoping for a purple Heel Crush variant (limit both purple and red to 250 each) and a KroniK 2-pack eventually. If Demolition is available, then this Crush head will also be a good fit, but the tooling for the body will need to be completely different. I don’t know if the demand will be there for anything else. DOA Crush or a ponytailed Jailbird Crush with correct denim colors would be wishlist worthy, for sure. |

I was glancing at my Ultimo Dragon/Sonny 2-pack and it made me wonder about the viability of adding Jushin Thunder Liger to the line. It could be an incredible figure.
I'm holding out hope for masked Psicosis and Juvy Guerrera. I'd love a proper Eddy Guerrero BCA, too.

I am at the point now where I am going to just grab a Mexican street bootleg of him just so he is represented in something other than my tattoo in my collection. |

Flyin' Brian Pullman would also be amazing in this line, as would a Meng.

I'm bored at work yet again (what else is new!) and day dreaming about the potential of this line. Here are some names that I think would make for interesting additions:
Announcers: Bobby Heenan, Howard Finkel, Larry Zbyszko, Lillian Garcia, Jeremy Borash, Joey Styles, Jonathan Coachman, Mark Madden, Scott Hudson, Tony Chimel, Tony Schiavone
The viability of Heenan and The Fink are in question but I'd particularly love a Styles figure. Coachman, Chimel, and Garcia would be welcome additions and, imo, Schiavone is the jewel that I really hope can be made.
Backstage/Authority figures: Blackjack Lanza, Bruce Prichard, Doug Dillinger, Gerald Brisco, Jesse Ventura, JJ Dillon, Pat Patterson, Tony Garea
I do not know the viability of Prichard given his high-ranking role with WWE nor if Brisco/Patterson would be possible but I'd particularly love to see Dillinger and JJ. I'd get a kick out of having Dillinger knock on the door. Brisco and Patterson would make for fun variants: one in their infamous "wrestling attire" vs. the MSP and, of course, in suits as Mr. McMahon's Stooges. It would be fun to pair them with Sgt. Slaughter. Ventura could make for interesting variants as well: bald/goatee in a suit and him in a long-sleeved referee attire.
ECW people: Bill Alfonso, Chris Chetti, CW Anderson, Danny Doring, Eliminators, Hollywood Nova, Johnny Swinger, Kid Kash, Mikey Whipwreck, Mustafa, Pitbulls, Simon Diamond, Spike Dudley, Stevie Richards, Roadkill, Tony Mamaluke
Alfonso finally accompanying Taz/RVD/Sabu would be great (and you can do a variant of him as a referee), the Eliminators and Pitbulls, need to be represented, bWo Nova and Richards (who should get a variant in his "Raven's flunky" look) are even more of a must to pair with S1 Meanie, Whipwreck (normal grunge + Unholy Alliance looks)...
Referees: Earl Hebner, Theodore Long, Tim White
It would be great if they joined the upcoming Mike Chioda and I think the first two would make for interesting variants: Dave Hebner (Polo and slacks) and Long's look as a manager in WCW.
WCW Cruiserweights/Mid-Card: Alex Wright, Chris Kanyon, Chavo Guerrero Jr., Crowbar, Eddy Guerrero, Ernest "the Cat" Miller, Evan Karagias, Jushin Thunder Liger, Juventud Guerra, La Parka, Lash, Price Iaukea, Psicosis, Shannon Moore
The biggest wants for me are Wright (Das Wunderkid + Berlyn looks), Kanyon (particularly his Mortis look to pair w/the upcoming Glacier), E Guerrero (so tired of seeing figures of him being made in other lines!), C Guerrero (rookie and Lt. Loco looks), and Liger/Guerrera/Parka/Psicosis have potential to be all-time great figures (and you can do variants of Guerrera and Psicosis without their masks)

Wow. When Jeff and Matt left AEW, I thought there might be a chance for this. Very awesome news, glad FC was able to seize the opportunity. This fills one of the biggest gaps in the original BCA Line!

ICW's tag team division felt empty without them so I am beyond thrilled at this

We need jobber versions of the hardys also I would love that. Something that hasn’t been attempted before for them - and would be period accurate! FC’s been on a roll with their signings. Series 2 is absolutely stacked with talent - ‘97 and ‘99 Jarrett, Glacier, Ref Mike Chioda, Kona and Heel Crush, and a Matt/Jeff 2-pack. Not to mention, all of the variants that could come from the latter. It’s a great sign anytime new sculpts are introduced, but especially when you’re talking the caliber of Matt and Jeff. Kudos to everyone involved on that one. |

I'm with you, I'd love early 90's jobber version in both the Retro style and BCA. Something that's never been done by any company, and would certainly stand out. With the Retro's as well you can argue can get added into a Hasbro collection with the fact they were jobbing on TV to Razor/123 Kid at the time, maybe a little too late but I'm sure someone will justify it and do it. So many possibilities and that's quite exciting. |

Is Figure Collections still offering replacements for the discolored Blue Meanies? Mine has the yellowing which is annoying as it's a good figure otherwise. I sent an email to their support but never heard anything back.
