WCW Galoob History Part 3: Ric Flair

[Hasbromaniac]

The "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, 'nuff said.



(Release #1- Test Market Piece)

Ric Flair came in powder blue trunks, navy and powder blue knee pads and navy boots. He even had his initials in red on the side of right boot.

He was released on a card that had the words "Presents the Superstars of the NWA" in the bottom right corner. The package had "J-Hook A" and "Hang Tab A".












(Release #2)

This Flair package had the words "Presents The Superstars of the WCW" on front. It had "J Hook A" and "Hang Tab A". This was the mainstream release. The cardback was the same as Release #1.








(Release #3)

This Flair package had the words "Presents The Superstars of the WCW". This version had "J Hook B" and "Hang Tab B".












(Release #4)

This Flair package had the words "Superstars of the WCW". It also had "J Hook B" and "Hang Tab B".






***For anyone who doesn't really care about the J-hooks or hang tabs, good news starting in the next review. I won't be showing pics of them but I will still list the variations. I think after three posts everyone will know what the heck I'm referring to.***




Next Up: "AA" , to be bald or not to be bald ?

Nice,

I used to own Galoob Flair; no clue what happened to him, though.

[Lego Customs!]

I had a Galoob Ric Flair with brown trunks that had a lightening bolt on them or something, hope it wasn't worth anything, I used it for a custom....

Love this stuff. Had that flair and the red trunks with the lightning bolt. pwder blue was always my favorote. very vintage flair, and as said before the likeness is dead on, sans the playabilty. Cant wait for arn...I prefer the bald..more accurate...better tights:)
