Anyone know what era the designers were going for in regards to the head sculpt? The face looks older, but the hair doesn't seem to fit 91-current. It's strange to me. Anyone have any insight or opinions?

I just figure it was the typical mattel mix and match eras they like to pull on us

I like the scan and, as mentioned, I think it kinda combines some years of his overall run. I like to look at it like circa 92-93, post horrible Flair bowl cut!

To be fair to Flair, he looked 60 when he was in his late twenties. So... yeah.

I just kept the robe on him, that body choice was terrible.

I like the figure. I would've preferred a Carolina blue robe, but I love the rest of it. The Jakks looked a hell of a lot more jacked, especially the arms. It's the best Flair ever on this scale.

Lol no. His figure simply had red instead of orange. This Flair is on an entirely different level. |

I think people are overreacting a little bit.
It's based on the 80s NWA and they threw in (IMO) his most iconic robe. It's a great figure and one of the best.
