Looks legit to me. The robe looks to be made of the same style as Rude's. And the scan is obviously not a Jakks scan.

if this is legit I'd obviously buy it - big Flair fan! But I have to admit, the Jakks "Wooo!" scan is such a signature look that I can't say this Mattel scan is winning me over yet. Also I'm worried about the torso choice - look at the pecs and abs on this Flair...not happy about that, they should have used good old Terry Funk torso. Must buy regardless. Completely agree about the torso…Ric with a 6 pac? Thats not Wooooooooooo!

I think they selected the Columbia blue trunks because that is an iconic color he's worn many times. I'm sure he's probably worn that combination with that robe a time or two at least. I always looked it as a tribute to the North Carolina/mid-atlantic area (as those colors are iconic to that area.)

I don't understand why people wonder if these are "fake." It's not a custom; the head doesn't exist elsewhere. Where else would they come from?

My only qualm is that it looks like someone took modern Ric Flair's face and transplanted it on '80s Ric Flair's body.

it was already leaked that we're getting a red trunks,boots,and robe Flair as a Flashback this year...
my guess? this is the Ringside Fest Exclusive. it fits their usual criteria - a repaint of an already existing figure (in this case,the FB) coming with a new accessory or accessories, in this case the black robe. also,I feel this WILL come in that Defining Moments packaging we saw. as someoen pointed out to me, we got the Macho King figure in Legends packaging,well after the Legends line was dead.

I'm still going to put the Jakks Woo! head on it. Mattel's effort is good but nothing beats that scan for me. I'm glad we are getting the blue trunks though.

I will make sure I know every single headscan out there for every single wrestler from now on, so i can stop asking these dumb questions
