ZDB is correct above, albeit it should be noted that his robe was actually a shade of blue @ WM IV! I dunno why Bill preferred/chose a different colored robe than the actual one worn, but in all honesty, I'm glad he did, as it seems to mesh better anyway. HOWEVER, it does peeve me a bit that Mattel tends to like to write the ring attire on the back of the boxes, but sometimes only pertaining to what they wore for the match, and not entrance gear, which is sometimes off just like this figure. Technically, the E40 "Ravishing" Rick Rude is a mashup of WM 4 tights & a robe from many other events. So, they should stop bending the truth, in my humble opinion! On that topic, Xavier Woods E42 is neither shown on the box photos to be, nor is the figure inside of the package, Elimination Chamber 2015. They did not wear dark blue versions (that apparently existed according to online images found, previously proven by yours truly) of the glittery purple attire from E.C. '15 & onward! Mattel = fibbers. Those who pay attention to the minute details, however, WILL catch on & call them (out) on it from time to time. Today is one of those times, not that it matters in the grand scheme of things, but hey . . . whatever!

When we first saw that Rude figure I seem to recall some people questioning whether he ever wore that robe with those tights. Well, while cleaning out a closet last weekend, I found this picture. It was from a house show in either Dayton or Cincinnati, OH.

Rude wore those tights many other times but wm4 seem to be the one big event he wore them for.

Wish we got these tights That or in yellow. I think IC tights is a must for a future Rude figure.

Wish we got these tights As much as people won't want to hear this, the belt paint apps for that figure would look better on a Basic. I hope we get it too.

Ironically, I just purchased this figure today. The only thing left to be desired is the torso and arms they used for the proto. The proto originally had the macho torso and roided Ziggler arms. It still kind of bothers me when you line him up with the likes of Sting and DDP etc.

I love Elite 40 Rude but a blue robe would of been good to see. Ehhhh, personally I feel the red meshes better with the pink in a sense, even if it is in fact inaccurate for the actual event it's supposed to represent, as proclaimed by Mattel themselves. Whereas admittedly, if we're just talking robe vs. robe, I ordinarily would likewise prefer the "better looking" blue one most likely, I still think it's cool we got red instead. Why? Because there are two Ric(k)s in black robes, one of which is going to be in blue for an upcoming DM figure at the beginning of 2017 (perhaps end of 2016 during holiday rush?), plus if you have him (I don't), "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff came in a sweet, blue robe. Therefore, I think it was good for differentiation purposes at the very least, especially since Big John Studd didn't come in his entrance gear, so another flashback figure was recently released a red robe instead, so to say. I'm sure that was by no means intentional, but it kind of worked out well in retrospective hindsight, in my humble opinion of course, and much to my pleasure at that. This case being in lieu of one who would have had one of his own, in all likelihood, under virtually any other scenario but a multi-pack. But hey, we all have our own tastes, so I can certainly respect your preference all the while, especially since it WOULD be the correct robe for WM IV if it had been blue, as you desire(d). Clearly, that's already been covered & reiterated now by many in this thread, including you and I. However, if one has all the robed figures made, for instance, well then it's probably good not to have several characters in similarly colored cloth materials, no? Or perhaps for some folks, myself included at times, that'd be a nice theme throughout a variation of figures displayed, for sake of collection continuity to some extent. I suppose I just want the entire spectrum! I guess you could call/deem me greedy in that fashion; I certainly wouldn't mind if viewed as such! I must admit though, having many wrestling figures in patriotic attire, and lined up together—this being just one example as a refuting rebuttal to my original premise—they all look relatively awesome that way upon display! Sting, UW, Hacksaw, Flexy Lexy & "American Made" Hulkster, just to name a handful. Heck, even the aforementioned BJS, along with JYD, what with their respective, comparable ring attire appearances, go beside one another quite nicely! Hence, there tends to be a happy medium & common ground to be found amid all of my apparent collection OCD after all.

Just picked up this bad boy today in my local Walmart. Had been waiting a very long time to see it in a store in NJ. This is the first time I saw it in a store in my state, so I pounced on it. Awesome figure.

Where in the hell did you find this bit of info? I am pretty sure he is referring to the Ric flair DM that was just announced at Comic Con. Not sure what Ric Rude robes have to do with Ric flair robes, you can't interchange them or put them on another wrestler as they have their names on the back and it will look weird on someone else.
