If it is real, then it's well below Mattel standards. Terrible robe, and not even remotely appropriate to the only "Defining Moment" mentioned on the "box." The headsculpt looks good but isn't even anywhere near WrestleMania 24, either. At best, it's a real Mattel prototype Flair in a bad custom robe and box. to be fair ( Fair to Flair?!) , a lot of prototypes that have cloth accessories or clothes don't have the full design, or are just put together from factory scraps. what i'm saying is, it COULD be the real type of robe,just without any of the design printing on it yet, and with a belt/tie from a piece of fabric scrap. it's common knowledge that factory samples are made from any scrap plastic and cloth they have lying around.

Interesting that there's no date on the package and that the golden detail on the top doesn't wrap around the package like the normal DM boxes and it's higher on the package. Also note how the back of the window has feathered trim to it, specific for this Flair. The "8+" on the front of the box is differently located than on normal DMs as well. Guessing that this is a RSC exclusive, based on the special boxing. I doubt it's some kind of elaborate hoax.

The question is... Do we see a relaunch of the Defining Moments? On MattelElite4Life said it's confirmed from a source. Whenever I read that on Instagram/Facebook/Messageboards I think BS. But let's see if he pans out with his source. I hope it's the truth. God I hope so. I loved defining moments.

It would have to be an online exclusive or something, Mattel described DM as a failure and proof that people weren't willing to pay a $30 sticker price for a figure.

Yeah but wasn't that before elites were $20+ and they were still coming with cloth and not rubber clothes.

Didn't Warrior also have his 1 of 15 figures in DM packaging? Poor quality fabric is well-known anyway. I remember someone in China was talking about this figure. So I think this is real. Nice to finally see the images.

Looks legit, they sculpted his hair really well, but they made him look too old.

ok. its the Sheamus torso. The most overused torso as of recent. It works for Sheamus. It didn't work for Del Rio or BOPPV Bret. It doesn't work for Damien Sandow.
It works for DX HHH and Billy Gunn. But they need to stop using this.
MDT Bill, please do not use the Sheamus torso for Naitch. i beg of u
