As sweet as the figure is, I don't think its going to be a retail figure yet. Its safe to say Kmart jumped the gun with this listing since we have no official word from RSC or Mattel. By looking at this figure, I'm going to say we are looking at 1 of Mattel's SDCC exclusives. The timing to announce is right since toy companies have started showing off what's going to he available. Plus the level of detail on the robe plus the feathers just screams DM, but since the line is over I'm thinking an exclusive. We will probably get a retail Flair soon after but with a different robe design. If I'm wrong then I'm wrong but this screams SDCC to me definitely sounds feasible to me. their last SDCC Exclusive (not counting rumblers) was Ministry Taker,and they went all out for that figure. looks like the same situation here! |

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The Nature Boy is finally getting a Mattel release, can't wait! Arn & Tully are already waiting patiently for him to join them on my shelf.

I wasn't collecting Mattel when the Undertaker SDCC came out..... so if this were to be this year's SDCC Exclusive, what does that mean for us? We can order it online after SDCC? When would be able to get it? |

The figure looks great, wish Mattel would re-work their torso's. flair had a thick wide torso with thick arms and thighs rather than long and slender. Sculpt wise, it's an older flair scan with younger Flair hair, looks off. An open hand for chops would've been nice too.

When would be able to get it? the most obvious place to get it is,of course, at the Con. but a few weeks afterwards - they always announce it ahead of time - mattel puts the SDCC exclusives up for sale on their mattycollector.com web store. |

His age was just starting to show in his face and his hair was just like this before the middle of the year when he cut it short. |

Seems like the Ringside Fest Exclusive if I were to guess. SDCC Exclusive would be feasible as well. Awesome either way. WOOOOOO!

I don't own the proto but it looks to be the same body as Elite 22 Damien Sandow, Sandow is taller in real life so I would hope that Mattel made some alterations to make it a better size. |

I may cry...
if this means Defining Moments is back then MATTEL, you have made ab excellent choice! Especially having Ric Flair to kick it off.
I'd be all for a Defining Moments Lita!

These appear to be smaller legs. Sandow had the tall legs like Wade Barrett, and Maybe Dibiase Jr. (But def. Wade). Mattel changes most people's height by way of their legs rather than torsos. If you look, most torsos line up in height, it is just bulk that's different. And back to the topic on hand: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

I dont know if it is a exclusive. Didnt MDT or Ringside say that any exclusive had to be of a character already at retail. Hope is that theres another that will be produced at retail or this is for retail.
