Hi guys - I've started collecting the Mattel Legends figures - but it looks as though two of my all-time favorites won't be getting a figure by them any time soon (if at all). So I'm after a Hogan and Flair figure to go with my collection - out of the ones released, which do you think is the best/your favorite? Ideally I'm after one that is a similar size and "fits in" with the Mattel Legends figures (...and preferably a red and yellow Hulkster, pre-nWo). Thanks for your help!  |

As for Flair, you can't go wrong with black robe internet exclusive, blue robe CS9 or Best of WCW in purple. |

Hulk Still Rules boxset, WM 19 Flair/Taker. Those would indeed be in scale with Mattel. If you want more than that, customs are in order. |

CS 8 HOGAN NWO & Ric Flair edition exclusif ringside festival He said pre - NWO  Your best bet is Hogan from the R3 Tech 3 pack (yellow trunks) and the only R3 tech Flair (came with undertaker) These I'm pretty sure would be in scale with mattel |

My mistake, it's WM 18, not 19.

Thanks for the suggestions guys... I've just looked up the "Hulk Still Rules" set which looks great! I can't find the R3 Undertaker/Flair 2-pk... (anyone have any pics/links?). Were there a lot of figures made in this R3 style? It might help fill in the gaps for the ones Mattel probably won't be making... Cheers. |

 From the database. There was also a VERY bizarre black-haired variant of Ric. |

If you do order the r3 Flair, make sure it has white hair, because some of them came with black hair.

I would personally pass on the R3 Flair. Just get the CS2/9 Flair head and put it on a Mattel body. Its a perfect fit and an easy swap for a Terry Funk or Cody Rhodes body. That is the best way you are going to get true continuity with your existing collection.

Thanks for the pic (karma given!)... does that 2-pack include a robe as well, or just the figure? I couldn't see a robe, but you never know... I would personally pass on the R3 Flair. Just get the CS2/9 Flair head and put it on a Mattel body. Its a perfect fit and an easy swap for a Terry Funk or Cody Rhodes body. That is the best way you are going to get true continuity with your existing collection. Yeah, I might do that... I'd really like one in a robe - they look great (and Flair's GOT to be in a robe, lol). Was there ever a R3 type Mick Foley or Mankind figure? If not, I'll probably go for the exclusive Wrestlemania 22 boxed version... looks very cool! Cheers. |

As some people have mentioned, if you want them in scale with Mattel, you should definitely go with the R-3 Hogan and Flair, or make a couple of customs using RA/R3 heads.
As for their best RA figures, my favorite Hogan is either the CS8 WM Hogan or the CSTT5 Hogan that came with Warrior. I seem to like the smiling scan on that figure for some reason.
For Flair, I'd go with the CS9 or the one from the 3-pack that came with Perfect and Heenan.

My favourite Hogan figure is the CS11 one... but I think the best looking MOC Hogan figure is the 2-in-1 Hogan (ticket giveaway). I have all the Hogan figures from the CS line, and pics of most of them can be found at my old thread -- CLICK HERE. God bless. |
