I don't think the RFL kitties are billed as making a special baby when mated together. The winter, Spring, and Halloween collections actually say on the announcement/ad taht they make one special baby when mated.
In my silly opinion, best course of action is to treat them exactly like plain starters and give each one an awesomely beautifully-traited mate, the best you can find/afford.
According to many, a useful choice as "starter mate" would be a 7 to 9 trait foxie salty with recessive eyes (ody bellini?), a fairly recessive tail, and some recessive whiskers. This, because foxie salt & pepper is a very recessive fur, yet great ones can be gotten relatively inexpensively. Using a cat with many recessive traits is not necessary, but it speeds up the process of identifying your Tin Man and Tin Woman's hidden traits. That way, if your cats throw their hidden traits, it is more likely to show on the kitten. (On that first round, they both threw their recessive fur, but you can only see the more dominant one, the American shorthair one, and you can't tell which cat contributed it.)
It's pretty cool that you got Flair on the first round -- it means both your cats are hiding a shade (one is hiding Flair), which starters are not guaranteed to do.
I'd be interested to know what comes from the Tin Man and Woman too! We are overdue fro a new shade ... but IDK if the RFL's are said to be carrying new traits? or not?
