Thought it would be good to show the new Target HOF Four Horsemen compared with the Mattel original releases of them. Starting with Flair, I actually like the new HOF 4H Flair better than his first release. Especially when adding a Jakks robe and title to him. The toothy smile reminds me of so many classic Flair interviews when he was "Stylin' and Profilin'" Differences for Flair:The differences are obvious in terms of the head and colors. I will say the HOF Flair has great looking boots in black, red, and white. Subtle difference between the two is that the DM Flair has his fingers taped up on his right hand. Differences for Arn:Legends Arn has darker hair and chest hair. Legends Arn has lighter red knee pads. HOF Arn has his AA on the front of his trunks. Both have the same colored boots. Differences for Tully:The hair on both figures seems to be the same. Legends Tully has darker chest hair. Legends Tully also has lighter eyebrows. A different color than his hair. HOF Tully has same color hair and eyebrows. Legends Tully has lighter red knee pads. Legends Tully seems to have a slightly lighter red boot color, even though Arn's boots seem the same between both of his figures. Differences for Windham:Since this is his first Mattel figure there are no differences to check out. However, I hate how plain his vest is. So, I had an extra Diesel vest and put it on. Here's pics for those considering doing the same.

Nice jobs with the comparison and break down. After seeing this, I prefer the 4 pack compared to their individual releases.

Do both Arn figures have the bald spot? Thanks for the pics.

Nice pics.
I still prefer the original releases of Flair, Arn, and Tully though they're all nice figures.

Is it me or did Mattel use the wrong neck peg for Flair? He looks like he has no neck...

Thank you for this post, very cool indeed! Just got the horsemen today and I love them! Besides the DM Flair, these were all new to me as I missed out on Mattys Arn and Tully. Sooo glad I held out from buying from ebay, not only the figures, but the tag belts too since they'll be here with Yokozuna this week. Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I like Flair. Originally I wasn't too impressed with the head but it's definitely very cool. But like his DM, they both suffer from no neck syndrome

Solid, solid thread, OP. Your new Flair needs his head raised though. Thought it was a Jakks head sitting too low at first.

But I don't mind too much. Since I'm a display collector, raising his head puts him and Windham at close to the same height. I'd rather keep him on the shorter side of Windham.
