Thanks for the pics!
Flair's robe looks very nice. I don't understand why Jakks gave him that boot mold though. Doesn't fit him. The old boots they gave him for his earlier CS figs would've been perfect.

"my goal in life is to be the first on the board with the new Ric Flair figure Just so I can post the group shot and mark out like a little girl when it gets here " ;D ;D I only laugh because Jakks has done this too me several times. THANK GOD they gave Ric Rude a better torso! I was so pissed when CS Hogan had the headband painted on , an nobody else seemed to mind. I suppose though one of the odd attractions of Jakks to me is the fact that they are easily modified , and I and enjoy making accurate modifications . (all factory no paint) Not at all. No disrespect either way. Was that a shot at me...?

It's a good thing it has that awesome robe because that is the worst possible Flair figure ever, every part is wrong, even the head is so overused for that sort of expression. The recent CS 3 pack Flair is perfect for him, he had and has short but muscular arms like the CW ones, not too much torso definition like the Flabby Regal (the new Rey torso might be good for him too) and the attire should be like all the others. They changed everything to the worst parts possible. CS20 is barely recognisable as CS.
Also - big LOL at all the kids that still think it's a Cody Rhodes figure with a Flair head just because it's green and yellow attired.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually might not buy that Flair. I made a custom of that attire using a Cody Rhodes body and ralph robe, but I was going to buy this one anyway. Thanks to the skinny arms and Rocky boots, I don't really like the look of this one at all. The robe is cool (I have several Ralph robes, but no green one), and the arms and boots can easily be fixed. But I don't know if I can justify buying one to fix up when the fix-up will be more or less like my custom. I'll probably still buy it, I mean it is Flair and the robe is better than it looked in the first MOC pics, but this figure is no longer a must have for me. EDIT: Excuse my griping. Thanks for the quality pics.

Flair looks bad, his tights and pads are two toned and his legs look odd to me. Mysterio looks pretty good. The Rock is a re-release minus the bull tattoo which is different, the belt and the lack of wrist tape. Thanks for the pics

Why the F*** have they given Flair the Rocky boots?
They look AWFUL on him!
A fictitious robe, and inaccurate boots that make him as tall as Kevin Nash. Yeah...nice one Jakks. What a way to screw up the green Ric Flair that everyone's been begging you for over the last 5 years.

Thanks...

Worst CS ring gear Ric Flair figure ever. Looks like I'm only getting Dynamite Kid, The Rock, and Ron Simmons from the worst Classic Superstars set since CS 9. In fact, I'd have to say that this is the second worst CS set ever since Classic 9 had some great figures and accessories (even after Chinese New Year) while this set has only a few. Is the Rock figure the same figure from Series 19? Thanks... It doesn't have wrist-tape unlike CS 19.

I got my CS 20 Dynamite Kid and Simmons today, too. Rather than starting a new thread, here are some loose notes:
- Simmons has the AD 25 Shelton Benjamin shade of black skintone, so he's darker than the other Faarooq/ Ron Simmons figures Jakks has released. That just seems dumb to me. It's not like his skin got lighter when he changed gimmicks.
- He has designs on his tights and "RS" in black on his boots.
- Dynamite Kid is really disappointing. The scan is great, but I think the torso is too big for him. The figure has no neck because of how the head sits on the torso.
- Extremely disappointed in his tights. They're just plain red...no Union Jack on the back, no "Bulldogs" on the sides. Seems like Jakks purposely half-assed this figure knowing that they'll do a more accurate version when they do the Bulldogs CS 2-Pack.
I would advise passing on Dynamite, but I like Simmons.

I'm not surprised at all, just irritated at Jakks's continuing laziness. Looks like I'm only going to get two figures from this set after all.
