2002 era Hogan would be the best for DM.
nWo Hogan doesn't really need boas. Give him a bandanna, a weight belt, sunglasses, and a plastic shirt like Ryback's. Ok, maybe he would need to be a DM. Unless they gave him plain tights (which I would be perfectly ok with, he wore plain black a lot).

Now that is an exclusive! Whoever signed off on that Rock exclusive should go away forever.

Happily pre-ordered. Love that Defining Moments is back and Hogan has to be next. Hogan 1989 has to be next - Hulk Rules shirt, red Hulk Rules bandana, Winged Eagle belt from WrestleMania V (interview if you want to be picky). Then how about a Razor Ramon Defining Moment from Royal Rumble 94 - IC strap, teal vest, gold chains. This would be a fantastic pick as well. Maybe include a headband with him since he had the headband during his actual entrance.

Outstanding. Very curious as to the gauge of selling well because Hogan, HBK, Savage and (fingers crossed Sting) will definitely benefit from the DM treatment. Wonder which place has the most stroke in terms of "yes this exclusive did well for us, we want more."

My dream has come true! Only way Defining Moments will work and last is if Flair doesn't get any other releases for at least a year in the Elite/Basic lines.

This is extremely sh*tty if you bought one loose no robe for $100! Oh well. My first dumb, rash decision as a collector. Which is why I made a more reasonable/logical offer of $60 for one. I knew these would be out before the end of the year, when my offer was refused, I waited...now I have one for $30

Well if this will be in RSC within the next 2 months. It's very safe to say this is officially the first flair figure by mattel. It'll sell like hotcakes.

After I saw this, I put a jacket on just so I could rip it off and elbow drop it. Woooooooo!
We all know fix-up Flairs are pretty common but since everybody uses the Funk body that is a lot of red attire Flairs. Its going to be sweet to have the baby blue attire as that was always my favorite.
As for Defining Moments coming back...that is great news. I'm sure sales of this figure should easily justify the continuation of the line.

Maybe if it does sell very well.... they'll release a Flair with black tights and a blue robe..... Then we can just switch the robes! This would be a very smart marketing move for Mattel ensuring we buy both figures. Heck, we'll buy every Flair anyway no matter the combination! At least I will anyway.

This is beautiful.
After this one sells like I know it will, I look forward to Hogan, Razor, Jericho and other badass Defining Moments figures.

The return of Defining Moments was supposed to be a big surprise but that was obviously spoiled a bit... Glad to see most people are happy with the figure. Since this version of a Defining Moment is meant to celebrate the entire career of the Nature Boy I chose what I felt were his most iconic in ring outfit and robe. If this figure performs well expect more Defining Moments to come. OMG YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. seems like you captured his career perfectly with everything!

Great news! If this doesn't rejuvenate the DM line, it's hopeless. If this one does well, I hope we'll see a Hollywood Hogan with cloth Hollywood Rules and the whole shebang in the accessories/detail department. Also, Ultimate Maniacs.
Thanks MDT for getting your corporate masters to reconsider Defining Moments!
p.s. Good going on that face sculpt, it looks uncanny,
p.p.s. WOOOO!!!
