What a monumental failure! Why would they choose to display him in the box with the robe open, exposing that horrendous body type choice? What a bummer for moc collectors

MattelDesignTeam Seems like a Jakks move putting the RF on the wrong side, and closed kneepads....except even Jakks put the RF on the correct side. 1 step forward, 2 steps back...

The worst presented moc figure I've ever seen with a terrible torso choice on show, wrong knee pads and wrong details. Easiest pass since I started collecting. Great robe and head sculpt though, shame about everything else.

Old man flair looks as fit as he was in his prime. Awful torso choice mattel. Agreed! MattelDesignTeam, Bill. For the love of God, why did you choose this torso or why couldn't you use the Hacksaw torso?

I always wait & see what the figures look like in the packaging, since I'm a moc collector.....this one I'd thought about picking up until I seen it in the box, it just looks like it was shoved in any old way unlike the first DM Flair with the black robe, now that one has class!!

The figure itself sucks, but the sad head sculpt is pretty solid, and when you pose him with the closed robe, it looks fantastic. Being a display-on-shelf guy, I'm happy enough with how that robe turned out to get him. It's a godsend to see that quality in 2016/7.

You would think that considering the entire purpose of this line is to recreate attires from iconic moments/characters, Mattel would bother to do a little research. A simple Google search could show you that the "RF" is on the wrong side of his trunks and the knee pads are the wrong style. You would think they would bother to pay attention to these small details considering the line has struggled to sell as is.

It looks as though Ric Flair is exposing himself. Bad form, Mattel.

Ric's reaction to the MIB photos says it all: Why on earth would you display it with the robe open like that? It looks like a return... as though someone's bought it and taken the figure out, then just shoved him back in the box. It's such a shame, as the robe is the main selling-point of the figure... as a MOC/MIB collector, I'll be opening mine to close the robe.

Maybe... just maybe.. the robe was supposed to be closed at the top but came open?
Anyone get theirs yet to confirm? Lol
I could see a variant of this coming out and pissing everyone off who preorders.. just like surfer sting

this figure looks like crap.
-all wrong kneepads so you can't create flair's signature look for his ENTIRE career. -the attire is so simple that coloring is everything and they got the coloring wrong ('Uh ya just use the blue hacksaw duggan template') -i accepted the torso for flair on younger figures but at a DM price point and considering Flair's look in this match. Come on do something interesting with it.
it's a total botch job. embarrassing release

It's only when you take the robe off that it's... not so good (that's why it's surprising that the MIB photos have him packed with the robe open... it's kind of highlighting the mistakes!?).

Here's a MIB image of a different Flair and it's posed the same (if not worse): Previous MIB Image:

Here's a MIB image of a different Flair and it's posed the same (if not worse): Previous MIB Image: Mine will be in today. Hopefully it looks decent. If not I might gently open it up and see if I can close up the robe just a tad or something to make it look more presentable.

The opened robe pose in the box looks awful. I'll buy one, open it, close the robe and put it back in the box. Please be sure to slide those knee pads down as well. That bugs the hell out of me.

Damn, that's sloppy MOC. The packaging department can do better.
