What moment does it define? I don't recall Flair ever having a Black Robe with Blue Trunks. They should have done his RR92 attire... It's not a defining moment. It's just MDTs favorite attire mixed with their favorite robe, which I can't help but love. I think there is about a 99.9% chance we see a RR92 Flair from them in the future. I'm sure you're just dying to have as many Flair's as possible haha  I'm sure in two years we'll be bored with Mattel Flairs. I can't wait! |

I'm sure you're just dying to have as many Flair's as possible haha I'm sure in two years we'll be bored with Mattel Flairs. I can't wait! Flair isn't a guy I'm looking to buy over and over again. I'm a fan, but after I get him in blue and then red, I'll be pretty much set. If they did a WCW version in purple I'd pick that up, but Flair to me isn't like Macho, Warrior, or HBK where the attires are so great I want them all. His attires all generally looked the same only with different colors. It was the robes that really made his look and I don't expect every Flair figure to even come with a robe. So I'm fully expecting to be over it within 2 years. That's sort of the drawback of Mattel really smashing it out of the park the first time around. |

Man this is so friggin dope. WFigs is like the Wikileaks of Mattel. Yep, I've been busy studying for finals over the past few weeks but whenever I'd check WFigs, it seemed like something new was always spoiled.  |

Fantastic!
But if Flair gets a body sculpt like that Roddy Piper deserves better than what he got the 1st time around.

Man, now we really need an NWA era Dusty. Buzz cut, mismatched knee pads, serious face.

Just a few questions I hope ringside will answer (they probably wont but...):
- Is this only available through RSC and Kmart?
- Is Defining Moments returning?

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. |

I'm sure in two years we'll be bored with Mattel Flairs. I can't wait! Flair isn't a guy I'm looking to buy over and over again.

So I'm fully expecting to be over it within 2 years. That's sort of the drawback of Mattel really smashing it out of the park the first time around. It's more about the different "Eras" of Ric Flair, less about the outfit.... there was mid-80's NWA Flair, Late 80's (kind of what we're getting in the new DM), early 90's WWF, Mid 90's WCW, 2003 WWF, and then the time surrounding his 2008 retirement.... See my signature, there are lots of different possibilities (many that don't need robes). The dude had damn near 40 year career.... so there is a lot of ground to cover.... my favorite - early 90's WWF...... |

Just preordered two... Was a no brainer.
That Rock on the other hand is a real financial decision.

Great news, nice one Mattel! --Theory time!-- Could this be a way of releasing the long awaited Mankind figure? Keeping it away from disrupting planed selections for the elite line, and charging more of a premium price for it?  Nah, those figures are already packaged in the same type of box as the COO Triple H. |

Mattel once said that DM Series 5 was slated to have someone an WM 3 Savage in it. DM 6 had Bret & Cena in it. When they decided to cancel the line, they bumped Hart & Cena up and canceled the Savage. I hope this means we could still get that Savage figure in a future line with the new Macho head sculpt
