The torsos are all the same. I personally like the torso as many have stated it fits flair from his 80's to 90's physical appearance. If this torso were in the light skin tone I would have totally used it. If you want a funk torso the only figure I'm aware if that is the same shade is an elite 7 DH smith. Good luck with that as this figure is pricey.
Happy birthday. Sorry to hear about the intials missing from the trunks. I would definitely contact RSC about that. My Flair arrived yesterday and the torso was also glued to the trunks, oddly enough I didn't follow regular protocol and forced the torso and it separated the glued area around/under the torso/trunks.
All the best

This is the number #1 reason why I am SO disappointed that you can only get Flair online. I want to see it in stores and grab the one that I feel is free of defects! We pay good money for these and no-neck Flairs and missing lettering is unacceptable.

Richard, you're too funny. I think the torso fits the era they were going for. And I agree sheamus does need a bigger torso. I'd say the Austin torso would work best. As for your flair that sucks that you got a bad one. Like someone else said either get a voucher or return it.

my first flair had a horrible no neck. i stuck a small gob of sticky tack in the head socket and it sits perfectly now. the other 2 flairs i bought had better positioned necks, but they still are low.
the torso works for me because its wide, which to me, is all flair needs. but im definitely sympathetic if u cant see flair in it and then have no good options. that would annoy me..
i wished they'd make some new longer knee pads that open in the back and i want a shorter haired wwf flair and a longer heaired more mullety flair. but this one to me is great for now. those are my main gripes on top of the cheap paint apps on the hair

I couldn't seriously remember any issue with the torso being stuck as so many have reported, so I just went and checked and it swivels as well as any other figure in my collection. I feel as though I would have remembered any issue when I opened it. I unfortunately got a no neck Flair, though, and it isn't horrible but doeant look as right and nice as the pics I'm seeing with longer necks.

Wow what a bummer. Hopefully you can get it fixed. Flair would definitely benefit from a skintone change.

I like the figure over all. EXCEPT I'm sick of the baby blue trunks/boots.... Why not green? Or My favorite- Purple trunks/Knee pads and White boots. Why blue? Im sick of it. But I bought it any how. lol

My Flair came with the WHC upside down in the packaging... Didn't bother me cos I ripped that son bish right open. The big smudge of paint on his face bothers me though.
Let's face it, there isn't a Mattel figure that's released these days that doesn't have something wrong it so I don't know why this one would be different.
Still an awesome figure tho.

DH Smith has the same torso as Funk but with the darker skintone as the DM Flair, if you wanna do a torso switch.
Habby birthday man, btw.

Bandy, I feel your pain. I just opened my second one to put on my Legends shelves. So I peeked under his robe and sure enough he is missing the RF. But the rest of the figure was correct. (neck & waist) Luckily with this figure I was keeping the robe on so I won't see the missing RF on this one. But it is still frustrating knowing he's missing it.

I'm lucky I guess that mine has a neck and the RF on the trunks.
however,i'm unlucky in that he has the non-turning waist. but since I only display mine,I'm not even worried about that.

Sucks your flair is missing the initials. Just another example of mattels declining quality control. But we all put up with it and keep paying the increases in prices. Wait till hogan comes out, they will probably give him the long sleeve knee pads? . Typical mattel

Happy Birthday!
I love Flair. I think they crushed it. I didn't have any trouble with the neck though and had the initials on the trunks. Probably a big difference to get it the way Mattel intended. The torso doesn't bother me at all either. I absolutely love the attire choice.
