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.
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?”
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
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.
My dad bought me my first 2 bone crunching figs the same day as Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker had there match at the Royal Rumble 98, and guess what the figs I chose were Shawn and Taker lol I picked based on the match later that night lol probably why I won't ever forget that match or those toys.. and the injury that shorted Shawn's careers that night
I now wait for these History of shows on Christmas like I used to wait for unwrapping wrestling figures on Christmas morning. Appreciate the hard work guys. Merry X-Mas 🤘🎅🤘
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. ❤️
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.
I preferred the WWF Slammers Series 1 Mankind over the series 3 Mankind. The switch on back was very easy to keep out of the way. The arms were perfect for hitting DDTs and doing the mandible claw. Slammers, in general, was a very cool spin-off series.
This brings back so many wonderful memories. I remember finding so many of these at Hills and Ames stores. I started watching wrestling in February 1997 so I was ALL IN with these throughout the entire run.
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. 🙌
This made me realize something. As kids playing with these, we were all little Bookers in training making matches and storylines with our figures lmao. That’s so funny to me now.
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!
I just found out my childhood golddust had three undertaker arms....... I always knew they was as I had both, I just thought that was how it was suppose to be.
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!
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.
I was five when these were out but daaamn do I recall owning a few and being blown away that they had the rubber feel and how gigantic they were haha. Awesome episode.
Dinner done, family all gone home or to bed, and I get to open my favorite present of the year… these Xmas videos! Hope Mark, Brian, Matt, and the whole Major Pod crew have a joyous holiday! You guys rule.
That Ultimate Warrior was my first wrestling fig ever. I remember being torn between him and Bret. To this day I'd also say these are the best wrestling figs to play with of all time. The rubber limbs prevented them from sliding all over the ring
During this time I was in a foster home, I was banned from really watching wrestling from an abusive foster father. I didn't know nothing of Series 1, was given Series 2 Shawn by my foster mom, and then found Warrior at a Hills department store. Most of my figures were took from me, by the foster father (Hasbros, Galoobs Etc) they were in a WWF book bag, that had Hogan, Warrior and LOD on. Wow this is bringing back so much memories of sneeking to watch wrestling with my foster Brother Ben (RIP). When I found out they made Razor, I searched and searched and could not any at all.
Merry Christmas to these 3 wise marks and thanks a ton for another Xmas figure vid. It has now become tradition to watch you guys. Happy for the Jakks line .. 🙏
Fallen out of wrestling again over the last year, and forgot about this amazing channel until I realized tomorrow is almost Christmas and went to check if a new "history of" vid was posted... And here I am! Thanks guys!
In the In your house video game the green Warrior it is alternate color so like jakks both figure are actually base on the same color as the video game !!!
"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?
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
@@TheAlSnowShow 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?
Awesome video....i wish matt and brian would do a full video on their fig fed days, it reminds me so much of my childhood. Like when you got a new fig, you look at the depth chart, do i bring in this new guy as a heel or face? should he start as a manager? good times
These videos are amazing. I’m so glad I can stop watching the Hasbro one on repeat over and over. 😅 My first ever wrestling figure was a WrestleMania 15 Undertaker Bone Cruncher. Got Goldust shortly after.
The 1 and Only BC Action figure I ever had was the S4 SCSA. I bought it in 97 at a Live Raw in Muncie, In. I kept that thing in the box for almost 10 years. When one of my children OPENED it. 😢.
Great, now I’m gonna have to re-listen to the FWF again, and hear Broski almost have a breakdown when Brian drafts Macho again. lol Also, THE SUN GOES OUT lives rent free in my head still to this day
my favorite wrestling toy line of all time I'm so jacked for this, I remember when I saw the HBK at k.b. toys. I had so much fun with the bone crunching figures in my wrestling fed
I miss all of my action figures. I had awa Remco ,wwf ljn, WWF Hasbro, WCW galoob, wcw san Fransisco 2 wwf jakks and later 2 ECW Plus my He-Man,X-Men GI Joe & Ninja Turtles 😂 They were all active in my wrestling ring. Basically when I was 14 I felt too old and started giving them away and even sold a few. I look back now and say damn to myself,so many would be worth so much and others would simply priceless in my eyes
That Bradshaw was the first "Bad Boy" I found, and it was great, and then I found Austin. Austin and the Toybiz Iceman was one of the first time I learned about how they would short ship the "hot" figures.
Where is the 4-Pack that had the Green Ultimate Warrior in it? That set actually came out before Series 2. Seeing these Bone Crunchers again brings back so much nostalgia! My little brothers and I collected them all, back in the days!
I bought Series 1 at a WWF House Show in October of 96 in Edmonton, AB .. I won 100 bucks playing bingo the night before and bought these from the merch stand the next day.. I also bought a Sunny T shirt and the brown foam IC belt that day too!!
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
As much as the figs are amazing, the card art is just as important to my memories of this line: the cold blue Wrestlemania XV packaging, the red white and blue King of the Ring, etc
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.
So true on 1997. My friend and I were talking if we can go back in our lifetime, what year or age? I chose 97, my action figures were coming along, I was turning 10, and Stone Cold was my guy.
I got into wrestling in 1996 ( i was 12 I'm a smidgen older than you guys) and right after that BCA figures dropped and WWF Full Metal album. I was set for my Fig Fed!
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.
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
Same with me going to be in 7th grade in 97 when getting bad boys series, it's crazy timeline wise by the time the Justin Hawk Bradshaw figure comes out he is Blackjack Bradshaw but that's it goes with these figures.
Watching this took me back, I need to do a video on this and I am still upset that sold all my Jakks figures, I had the complete line, except a few including the warriors but man I let them all go in a damn garage sale. So mad til this day but I didn’t have room and needed the money.
These have become annual viewing for me at Christmas
Same I look forward to it every year now.
I always forget. Then, when the craziness of Christmas ends, I am delighted when I can finally open the YT app.
It’s a great tradition
it sure beats spending time with my tired ass relatives
This is the content I live for...Please do 1998-2000 deep dives
Mid 90s definitely the best time to be a wrestling fan and action figure player.
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.
Best time to be a fan was 85-90, best time to be a figure fan was 90-92.
ruclips.net/video/bwAr1ApJQCk/видео.htmlsi=RZ8SLY0pVbhnVzPu
Please check this out as my son's
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! 😂

Parents Podcast! Clap Clap, Clap Clap Clap, Parents Podcast! Mothers Day and Fathers Day even !
This would be bad ass!
The REAL Monday Night Wars happened in my room when my WWF Bone Crunchers took on my WCW Smash N Slam figs.
The amount of dream matches and multi ppv feuds that would go down on rainy weekends in my room with those figures
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
This is one of my favorite Christmas traditions. I look forward to these as much as any gift I get. Thanks boys.
Amazing video. Already watched it twice.

BCA is some of the best figures ever made love the cartoony style for some of them
My dad bought me my first 2 bone crunching figs the same day as Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker had there match at the Royal Rumble 98, and guess what the figs I chose were Shawn and Taker lol I picked based on the match later that night lol probably why I won't ever forget that match or those toys.. and the injury that shorted Shawn's careers that night

Whatta bone💥🦴💥crunching great episode...🤘🏼💯✔️

I’m looking forward to the day I get to be a dad and host a whole new fig fed w my kids
Brilliant! Makes you want to get out there and start a BCA collection if you haven’t already. Well done guys!
Watched this all on Christmas night. Love the specials like this. Such easy viewing
Amazing episode. The peak of figures and wrestling fandom for me. Thank you for this great holiday gift!
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.

These Videos are one of the Highlights of any Year for me 😊
merry christmas, major pod!
1996 is a memorable year for me... Jake Roberts came to my high school to do a speech about drugs and i got to interview him for the school newspaper
My mom wasn’t happy when I taped sparklers to the ring posts and had the opening of raw playing on my boombox
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. 🙌
I wish we didn't have to wait to be blessed on Christmas with these episodes. I watched each one a ton of times
This made me realize something. As kids playing with these, we were all little Bookers in training making matches and storylines with our figures lmao. That’s so funny to me now.
I’ve been waiting for this one for a long time. This is awesome!
Unreal guys what a walk down memory lane. Cannot wait for you guys to do 98-99
Seeing BCA Series 1 out of the blue at TRU as a kid was definitely one of those holy shit moments.

tyvm for the video... i wanted a vintage WWF thing and here it is... ty again.
Wanting to watch this right now!! Merry Christmas everyone!!

I don’t want to wait another year for more of these
Awesome episode guys you killed it
Another Christmas morning with Major Pod 🎄
Merry Christmas to these 3 wise marks and thanks a ton for another Xmas figure vid. It has now become tradition to watch you guys. Happy for the Jakks line .. 🙏
Fallen out of wrestling again over the last year, and forgot about this amazing channel until I realized tomorrow is almost Christmas and went to check if a new "history of" vid was posted... And here I am! Thanks guys!
Hope you pick it back up product is on fire right now!!
Been back since Wyatt 6 stuff caught my attention!!! Love it again! Lol @@dogmd7
It's crazy to see how good the original sculpts were compared to retail product
I been waiting for the Christmas special!!! Wwwwooooo
In the In your house video game the green Warrior it is alternate color so like jakks both figure are actually base on the same color as the video game !!!
Lets go! My fav xmas tradition 🎉
Awesome. Loved all the previous. Fourth most excited I've been all year.
My parents were good to me I had all these
Do you guys have a podcast of 98-99 of jakks this was a great pod!
I'd love that also
I am beyond excited for this one!!!
Annual Christmas viewing. Please don’t stop doing these lol. Next year continue bca? TTL? ruthless aggression? Toy biz?

This is going to be awesome

I only had two wrestling figures growing up, both bone crunchers. Kane and stone cold. lol and I still remember them vividly today.
such a great episode
My Xmas ritual, thanks guys
These videos are amazing. I’m so glad I can stop watching the Hasbro one on repeat over and over. 😅
My first ever wrestling figure was a WrestleMania 15 Undertaker Bone Cruncher. Got Goldust shortly after.
Awesome video. Great line of wrestling figures. We need Mattel head bangers .
The 1 and Only BC Action figure I ever had was the S4 SCSA. I bought it in 97 at a Live Raw in Muncie, In. I kept that thing in the box for almost 10 years. When one of my children OPENED it. 😢.
I have looked forward to this segment ever since y'all was at The Conradison a few yrs ago
Can’t wait!
Merry Xmas Marks! 🤟
Great, now I’m gonna have to re-listen to the FWF again, and hear Broski almost have a breakdown when Brian drafts Macho again. lol
Also, THE SUN GOES OUT lives rent free in my head still to this day
Been waiting for the bcas history (this episode) for the last couple of years
my favorite wrestling toy line of all time I'm so jacked for this, I remember when I saw the HBK at k.b. toys. I had so much fun with the bone crunching figures in my wrestling fed
I lowkey thought about watching this all day on Christmas.
I miss all of my action figures.
I had awa Remco ,wwf ljn, WWF Hasbro, WCW galoob, wcw san Fransisco 2 wwf jakks and later 2 ECW
Plus my He-Man,X-Men GI Joe & Ninja Turtles 😂
They were all active in my wrestling ring.
Basically when I was 14 I felt too old and started giving them away and even sold a few. I look back now and say damn to myself,so many would be worth so much and others would simply priceless in my eyes
Mike the Miz nice to meet ya!!!
Vader was my favorite fig
That Bradshaw was the first "Bad Boy" I found, and it was great, and then I found Austin. Austin and the Toybiz Iceman was one of the first time I learned about how they would short ship the "hot" figures.
Where is the 4-Pack that had the Green Ultimate Warrior in it? That set actually came out before Series 2. Seeing these Bone Crunchers again brings back so much nostalgia! My little brothers and I collected them all, back in the days!
I bought Series 1 at a WWF House Show in October of 96 in Edmonton, AB .. I won 100 bucks playing bingo the night before and bought these from the merch stand the next day.. I also bought a Sunny T shirt and the brown foam IC belt that day too!!
Had to put the WCW Galoob belt on Goldust for his gold IC. HAD TO!
With the hitman on the back of hart foundation vest for Bret they should have put Bulldog and Owen on the back theirs.
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
I had a lot of those. I remember the cracking joints and wwf stands.
No major pod Christmas theme music!? What is this! Just joking was a fun episode
As much as the figs are amazing, the card art is just as important to my memories of this line: the cold blue Wrestlemania XV packaging, the red white and blue King of the Ring, etc
absolutely amazing episode,,, ,im bone crunching figure itchy ,,,,,ebay here i come ,,,,,lol,,,,,merry xmas ,
My favotie christmas tradition😂

Awesome seeing a fig I won Tradeski of the Week for be shown! I'm the one that traded Broski the Best of 97 Bret figure with "Hitman" on the vest.
Thank you! Distinctly remember the rumor of the Undertaker vs Undertaker two pack! I even remember seeing an imaging that obviously wasn’t real!
So true on 1997. My friend and I were talking if we can go back in our lifetime, what year or age? I chose 97, my action figures were coming along, I was turning 10, and Stone Cold was my guy.
LEtS GO!!!
Let’s go!!!
I got into wrestling in 1996 ( i was 12 I'm a smidgen older than you guys) and right after that BCA figures dropped and WWF Full Metal album. I was set for my Fig Fed!
THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT !!!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼
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.
Just finished the complete Hasbro video, it's a Christmas eve tradition!
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.

Same with me going to be in 7th grade in 97 when getting bad boys series, it's crazy timeline wise by the time the Justin Hawk Bradshaw figure comes out he is Blackjack Bradshaw but that's it goes with these figures.
This reminded me all about my Goldust woes. Every Goldust bone cruncher I got lost his head! I hated how they did it
Let’s go! Opening up my Batman & Robin McFarlane wave while watching.
Watching this took me back, I need to do a video on this and I am still upset that sold all my Jakks figures, I had the complete line, except a few including the warriors but man I let them all go in a damn garage sale. So mad til this day but I didn’t have room and needed the money.
