Hey guys,
I was just reading through the thread that someone started about the top 5 exclusives.
Ric Flairs Internet Exclusive got quite a few votes. I knew the figure existed, but never paid much attention.
What is the story on this figure? when was it released, through who, how many, approx value, etc...
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
Vandutch

I think you might be talking about the 1/25 Jakks Employee Exclusive. I believe it was just a Best Of WCW Figure with a white robe and it had 25 Rimestones on the robe. Released in 2005. Pic Credit to WF Figure Data Base. Not sure on the price, I believe they have gone for $2000+  |

It was a RSC exclusive back in 2004. It was basically a CS 2 Ric Flair with black tights and knee pads with a black robe. I believe it was produced between 1,800 and 3,000 pieces. Either MOC or loose it is a very sought after figure nowadays.
MOC = $50-$80
LOOSE (complete) = $30 - $40
LOOSE (minus rob) = $20

How do you NOT know about this? lol. well, I knew it was out there, but never looked into it until now. It appears to be that Limited one that everyone was talking about. Nice figure, i'll have to keep my eyes open for it. |

I managed to get one recently really cheap MOC (£18 posted) and it's one of my favourite figures, especially with the "1/500" belt it's wearing now. The reason alot of people consider it CS is because it's based on his 92 Rumble attire and is basically the same as his CS figures but in a different colour. If it was released now it would definately have had the CS logo on it, it's a Classic figure just without the CS logo on the packaging.

Also...If anyone doesn't know this...Ric Flair on the card is replaced with a sticker...As underneath said "Rick Flair" I believe...So they covered it up with a sticker instead of making a new card

Why is your Flair wearing his knee pads on his knees? I don`t think flair has ever wore his pads actually on his knees. he wears them on his shins lol, just though I`d ask.

Many considerit a CS, WHY? is beyond me, it doesn`t have classic superstars logos anywhere on, but what ever. It could have a lot to do with the classic head sculpt. |

This is indeed an awesome Flair fig, perhaps the best available. I know that the 1/25 is ungodly rare and all, but I honestly like this fig better.
I was lucky enough to pick this one up from RSC right when it came out, so it cost me like $14.99 or something. The fact that they screwed up his name and had to cover it up really does make it an oddity.
