I just seen this on Twitter and have never heard anything about it? Does anyone have any info like how many were made or what they go for now? Loose pics even?  |

Originally it was a premium offer for some of those who subscribed to the old WWE on demand service in around 07 ...i believe that was the year. Anyway, early in 2014 WWE.com offered the figure for sale on their shop as some kind of tie in to the WWE Network launch. That thing used to go for big bucks prior to that. And it may again now that WWE shop has run thru them. At least i assume they have anyway.

Speaking of obscenely obscure Ric Flair figures...  That one is basically a unicorn, though. This pink 24/7 version must've had a lot of inventory left over, because WWEShop put them up for like $50 and caused a lot of confusion a few years ago. I think that was just prior to the DM Flair coming out, too. It was originally from late in the Jakks run. Shame it didn't come out as well as the advertising made it seem, but we were used to that back then:  |

I could have sworn one of those 1/25 Flairs popped up on Ebay back in 2010. The reason i remember that is because i took a pic of it with my phone at the time and saved it on there...lol. I don't recall how much it went for, but it was way too much for my blood.

The 1/25 Flair has purple trunks & white boots. Its essentially the BOWCW figure with just a different robe & boots. There was a member on here (KingTonyStewart or something like that) that owned one of them. I think I remember reading that he sold it though.

I had one, had to sell it, and then got divorced from the reason I had to sell it. When I was newly single, I rebought the first available one.

Anyone know why the flair figure in the top photo is different to the other flair . I mean the 2 pink robes . one seems to have the world title belt the other around his waist looks like the wwe belt.

I was so angry, I tried to get one back when they were originally available in 2007 for "new subscribers" for the WWE 24/7 channel on Comcast. They said that since I had already been subscribed for a while, I wasn't eligible. I considered cancelling my service then trying to re-subscribe - but never got around to it & never got the figure. This was my "holy grail" for several years. Fast Forward to 2014, a user on this forum posted that WWE.shop had them available - I snapped one up quickly, I think they were $75 at the time! I won't normally pay that much for a figure, but I had to have this one. Last year, in 2015 - I took it to Maryland Championship Wrestling to get it signed...... I was so nervous to meet Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard, & J.J. Dillon, that I left it on the table. Embarrassingly, about 20 minutes later, I realized I had left the figure on Ric Flair's table & had to ask security to retrieve it for me..... So, for about 20 minutes - my pink Flair figure was in the possession of Ric Flair!  You can see it sitting on the bottom edge of the photo....  |

Very glad you got it back after it spent some quality time basking in the presence of its namesake. |

So, for about 20 minutes - my pink Flair figure was in the possession of Ric Flair! You can see it sitting on the bottom edge of the photo.... Yeah that pissed me off also. I had been a subscriber of WWE 24/7 since day one and felt that was a slap in the face. Especially after contacting a few people at the cable company and the WWE and being told they would only have enough product to honor new subscriptions and you would need to show you weren't a subscription holder for 6 months prior. Then I saw it being sold on WWE.com and was more pissed...so I passed on it there out of principle. That was a nice figure. It looks great signed and it is funny that you left it on his table. I also passed on his first Internet exclusive with the black robe. Twice every week for a summer I would take our daughter to a place called My Gym which was located in the same strip mall as T0y W!z and rather than drive home I would stay in the parking lot for the two hours she was there so I would walk into their store and look at what they had. And every time I would look at that Flair and the Jakks IE debut Mankind and every time I would put them back. Then one day I said screw it I am going to buy them and when I got to their store they were both gone. That one actually Stung more than the WWE 24/7 figure because I had it in my hands on numerous occasions. |
