So hot about this. I'm glad we got a good run of Flairs. But, we should have even more.
Savage, same thing. I'm thankful for what we got. But, that was just scratching the surface.
Meanwhile, we got nearly every Hogan in the book.

Not sweating it. I have Retrofest Flair. Will be interesting to see how Jazwares bungles a Flair release, and he will burn his bridge with AEW in a few months

Will be interesting to see how Jazwares bungles a Flair release, and he will burn his bridge with AEW in a few months (ROTFL) We thought the Jazwares Samoa Joe was bad? We thought the Jazwares Adam Cole was bad? enh. Jazwares Ric Flair... mangled up face with sequins falling off the robe. WOOOOO! 🤣 |

I’m disappointed we never got a proper 1991-92 WWF scan. The DM/Retrofest head looked like old man Flair with a 1992 haircut. I would also liked to have seen the purple robe. I mean Flair looked like he was 50 his entire career. |

I really wanted a 1998-2000 Flair, but oh well...
I'm sure within a few years he'll be back with WWE. Flair never lasts long anywhere nowadays.

It amazes me how he never once had brass knuckles accessories I wonder if that has something to do with how brass knuckles, unlike swords and barbed wire baseball bats, are illegal in the US. Or if it's because you wouldn't be able to use them with the figure unless they gave you a hand with them already on it. It's not like you can stuff them down his trunks for authenticity. |

Cena Top Picks came with brass knucks accessories Word Life that clicks onto the cuffed hands. |

Cena Top Picks came with brass knucks accessories Word Life that clicks onto the cuffed hands. Yeah but they could bs their way about those just being decorative with the WORD LIFE on them. Sort of like how Sasha figures had the "LEGIT BOSS" hand adornments With Flair, they would 100% be a weapon. |

Other than green trunks, pink trunks and the Black Scorpion I think I got pretty much all the Flair’s I would want. All I really want now is a robes pack.

I guess if other company is making Flair then we better enjoy the figures we've already got because it's gonna be a long time before we see a new one.

Yeah, the green lion robe would have been a good one for the Ultimate's line. Did we ever get an elite or ultimate Flair in the green attire? Also, the purple robe and attire from 1992 WWF would have been a good one. So too would the gold/yellow attire with robe from the WCW/International Heavyweight Championship unification match with Sting.

An Ultimate Starrcade 83 two pack with Harley would be my only want. Yeah, I was holding out hope for that when they originally released Harley as the King. Kinda sad they never bothered with this as it would've been a must have for me. |

Im good for Flair too. I would have liked an Elite Evolution Naitch but I made that myself so all good. I would also have bought a starrcade 93 one with that Elusive WCW championship.
NWA Champ- Ultimate in Pink
WWF Champ- Retrofest
WCW 90s: covered in Elite
yup all good.

I would have loved a suited Flair exactly the way the Major Pod guys did the Big Rubber Guys of him. No tie, red shirt, stylin', profilin'. I also would have really liked an accurate 92 WWF run head.
That said, I really love his Ultimate a ton. So while there are more of Flair I would buy, we got a Retro, Superstars, and pretty much perfect Ultimate of him. So my boxes were checked for the most part. Just a similar deal to Macho. Yes, I'll buy more if we get him back, but I do feel he's really well represented in the line.

Too bad we couldn't get an "Ultimate-Ultimate" Flair - the same Ultimate we had, with like 5 of his top robes included. - Red - Butterfly - Green Lion - Purple - Blue |

Also feel that the DM shoulda been straight up 1992 Royal Rumble and not a mashup. If Flair ever is back under a legends deal then that should be the first UE they do. Short haircut, sweat drenched post match hair, butterfly robe, winged eagle, and if they can squeeze it into the budget, the modified tag real worlds champion belt.

Just thought of one more I would like - March 25, 2002 Draft - Raw Commissioner Ric Flair.

One positive is that Jazwares isn’t as limited as they have been with legends talent. Flair being NWA champion many times over a long period of time wrestled for several promotions not currently under the WWE umbrella. They can do most of his classic looks if they choose to. That being said, they’ll probably just do Flair’s Last Match and his Dynamite appearance. Have we ever gotten a direct answer from the JazWares team as to why they rarely if ever do any of the classic looks for the various Legends that they have under contract? Like I get that for some of the wrestlers they can't do their WWF/E looks, but in the case of certain guys like Sting, in theory his attires form his NWA days should be ok to do? I'm just curious as to why JazWares hasn't done any Surfer Stings or ECW Taz figures yet, and whether its a legal issue or moreso them not just wanting to do very many looks that aren't associated with the current AEW product. |
