According to the wrestling observer, Flair is "officially" under a WWE contract now. So I guess we can move up from "if" status to "when" status as it pertains to getting a flashback figure. I doubt we see it in 2014, but hopefully we can get an announcement from Mattel sometime soon. Maybe they'll put a rush on him and Hogan so we see them by Christmas. I know I'll be happy to at least hear that they're coming from someone at mattel,possibly as early as toyfair this weekend. Although its likely to come later since Hogan wont show up on tv until later. Thoughts?

Great news!! I want a Flair to have a plastic robe like Goldust's. The only difference is I hope they pose his arms to the side so Flair would be posed like this... Now we just need a Windham figure!!

Now we just need a Windham figure!! Amen to that! I don't know how high up Barry is on Mattels priority list, but i'd be willing to wait, happily, if they could find a slot to put him in. Plus a WCW/NWA Luger repaint down the line.

And if the scan permits I plan on trying to make an NWA Luger out of the USA version. I need the Four Horsemen in Mattel.

He has officially signed a deal. This means Mattel Is likely already working on a few. Cannot ING wait for all the Flairs and hogans. It's almost a blessing in disguise that we've had to wait. They pumped out a crap ton of Macho and warrior. Good amount of Bret and HBK. Now we can get a fair share f Flairs and Hogans!

I though MDT said they would bump people to get bigger names in, ie Flair or Hogan. If they knew about the Flair signing and even the Hogan signing they got a jump start on working on them. If it takes nine months to make a figure, then he and Hogan could be out anywhere from October - December depending on when they started working on them and if they choose to bump some one.

Woooo! Flair, Hogan and Sting all to come! Cannot wait, this is going to be amazing. All we need now is Kurt Angle, Scott Hall, Neidhart and Owen. My dreams would be complete.

Wow, what fantastic news.... I'd better start saving my money, I like to buy two of each when it comes to Ric Flair (one to open, one to keep MOC). You know, it's just "my thing".... I'm really hoping for a purple robe Ric Flair - JAKKS never gave us that one & it was always one of my favorites.... I'll buy every Flair product that Mattel puts his likeness on.....

I was hesitant to post this since it comes from a dirt sheet. But we already heard Flair is having to clear his bookings through WWE channels, plus in this case, Flair is a friend of Meltzers. So I could believe he would confirm the contract through him. I just hope MDT will be confirming or announcing his eventual placement in a series. Same with Hogan. Sting, to my knowledge, still hasn't officially signed so its hard to say if they would have started laying down any plans for him yet.

Out of Sting, Flair, Hogan & Lita.
The only one that I 100% believe has signed, is Lita. As she got a brand new shirt on WWE Shop the nite she was announced for the HOF

a rubber robe would completely ruin Flair. Slick Ric never wore rubbers!

Kinda annoying there're so enthusiastic about getting los matadores & El Whatever - O on shelves & don't care for getting guys like Flair & Big John Studd out.

Now we just need a Windham figure!! No the plastic robes are horrible. You almost break the figures getting them out and then NEVER reuse the robe on the figure.

I would be absolutely disgusted with Mattel if they gave Flair a rubber robe. I hate the damn rubber. I still cant get the rubber coat of my chris jericho elite!

Sadly, the robes will be plastic. Too bad we didn't get Flair during the DM Line. If we still haven't gotten a robe for Macho, I don't see Flair getting one.
