Can anyone get pics from that episode of WWF Superstars? Looked like he was in black boots and trunks to me in the clip showed. Yeah, he was... same attire that he wore for the '92 Rumble too. It's strange that they gave him pale blue attire and a black robe... his attire nearly always matched his robe colour. Awesome looking figure and love the robe and belt accessories. Def worth 24.99! Agreed. There's bound to be some people who will complain about the price though...  |

This gimmick should last a while... Hulkamania never dies brother It just tends to disappear until the next paycheck... |

It's not like he never wore the blue trunks and kneepads in the WWF, i can't find a match where he has the black robe in combination with it though. The hair on this figure is very WCW though!  |

The lack of announcement on this figure is so weird.

 Now we just need a Barry Windham to go with Flair, Arn, Blanchard. Forget Sid. 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. To be fair (to Flair?) he looked old even in his twenties. Yeah, I thought he looked a little too old, but not by a lot.My guess is it's based on when he was growing his hair back out during his WWF 91/92 run. I also agree that we need a Windham figure. With the cloth robe and shiny WHC belt, I don't think it will be in the regular Elite series... I'm really hoping it's a special Defining Moments release.  I'd love to see MDT comment on it... Honky had a pretty detailed cloth jumpsuit AND breakaway guitar as a regular Elite. This might not be an exclusive. That's very true, they'd just have to put one of two cheaper guys in to make up for it, which wouldn't be too hard. |

Looks awesome! Only minor problem imo is the torso, flair has a very unique build.

I hope this is legit, I hope it's defining moments and the re-launch of that line. If its an exclusive, such as SDCC or RSFest I'm okay with that too. MDT really needs to set the record straight on this one..... But cool fig, and I really like the classic sky blue...

This is the robe that would better suit the gear they chose. I can't find any match or picture where he mismatched the black robe and blue trunks/pads.  |

It's weird as the robes from 1992 but the outfits from his retirement match against hbk.... The face looks old but the hair and body look young I don't get it but I love t The robe is my fav. Can't wait to put black trunks,pads and boots on that figure It looks to me like a hybrid between that match and his galoob WCW figure. The only difference is the RF on his boots are white and not red, but even the back on the knee pads is a perfect match to the galoob. It didn't look like this at WM24. memoriesoftoymorrow.blogspot.com/2012/11/galoobs-ric-flair-styling-and-profilin.htmlWhen I first saw it I immediately thought this was a galoob-style Ric considering the length of the hair. You know how Mattel likes to mix their history, like we saw with the yellow strap winged eagle with legends Ultimate Warrior though it was actually the IC belt that was yellow. |
