God DAMNIT!! Why did they screw up Flair by giving him the new knee pads and those ****ty ass Rocky boots.....Way to go jakks, way to screw up a great figure I couldn't agree with you more.....  I seriously can't wait until Mattel takes over, because Jakks has been doing nothing but disappointing me here towards the end..... |

Yeah, I had just noticed after I had posted...that they gave him the Rocky boot.

Flair looks dumb with those boots.

Im gonna have to send my flair to one of the customizers on the boards to fix it. If they would have just put the CW arms (like all flairs) the regular boot mold and old knee pads then the figure would have been PERFECT

Oh man...
I definitely would prefer if they just kept Flair how the other two were. I was probably going to pick it up even if it didn't have a robe but now I wouldn't have unless he had the robe, which thankfully he does.
Cody's figure always reminded me of this Flair attire. It's weird that they give Flair the skinny arms but Cody the cruiser.

Yes, I agree with most everyone...those Rocky boots suck. To me though, the figure is still a standout figure.

Yeah, I'm with PJ on this one, I posted before I realized the boots were different.
The scrawny arms are a bit of a letdown as well, since Flair used to be pretty built; not to mention, the colored attire instantly reminds me of the AD29 Cody Rhodes figure, so it isn't as unique as some of Flair's other RA figures.
The robe really is the saving grace for the odd parts used; I'll still probably get it to display with my other classic Flair's.

Personally i don't care, because it will remain MOC for me. But i did kinda look at the boots and think "what the " for a second. The whole figure just looks so weird. His other ones looked pretty good, so im surprised they changed the recipe for this one. Thankfully the robe will cover it all up.  |

Awesome stuff you got. Was a shocker to see Flair with Rocky boots but it's ok I suppose.

 Ok, although the boots and arms are odd, I think that displayed right, this Flair is ace. I like it... |

God DAMNIT!! Why did they screw up Flair by giving him the new knee pads and those ****ty ass Rocky boots.....Way to go jakks, way to screw up a great figure "my goal in life is to be the first on the board with the new Ric Flair figure Just so I can post the group shot and mark out like a little girl when it gets here "  ;D ;D I only laugh because Jakks has done this too me several times. THANK GOD they gave Ric Rude a better torso! I was so pissed when CS Hogan had the headband painted on , an nobody else seemed to mind. I suppose though one of the odd attractions of Jakks to me is the fact that they are easily modified , and I and enjoy making accurate modifications . (all factory no paint) |
