Ric Flair



One of my favorite wrestling figures (and wrestlers) of all-time is this Classic Superstars release of the Nature Boy Ric Flair. This figure perfectly captures the look and feel (as well as the flair) of the Nature Boy. From the persed lips which you can just imagine are saying WHOOOOOOOOOOO, to the great recreation of the old school WCW belt, to the highly stylized entrance robe... all are spot on.

The sculpting is great if not a little too buff for Ric. The color scheme is also right on. From the platinum blonde locks to the red tights, boots and robe, this figure is almost perfect. Easily one of the best ever figure from one of the best ever lines.

On a separate note, I'm saddened that Jakks has lost the WWE license to Mattel. Mattel has to realize that Jakks has redefined the world of wrestling figures. You can no longer cut any corners, the bar has definitely been raised. I look forward to seeing what Mattel has to offer.
