Well the DI line hit Australia this past week or so and i quickly headed out a couple days ago to find all of DI1. I managed to get the one fig i really wanted not just from the set, but from jakks entirely. None other than arguably the biggest superstar to not wrestle in WWE, the icon Sting. I prefer his white and black colour scheme but this red one is also quite good. The scan is not a letdown, catchs stings likeness brilliantly. Im glad they didnt go with a screaming or some odd scan and went with this neutral one. The facepaint is well done and the attire is really good except for the padding (red blobs). Im going to have a try at sculpting them and paint the rest of the designs onto the figure cause i think i'll remove the pads. Other than that, its hard to complain about this figure and im glad to have it. For once, the short kickers are actually suitably used. Good figure and with a little fixing up can probably be a great one. MOC:  Loose:  |

How much is it over there in aussie dollars? AU$18 but TRU normally prices higher than normal retail stores so they should probably be AU$15 or so which is a standard RA< basic or whatever. AU$18 is what we'd consider a decent price. |

hey kaneisdaman. maybe i'm rude in asking this, but if a figure is $18 Aus....how much do you make an hour, in comparison, at your job?

Very nice pick-up! Minor flaws aside, I'm happy that we finally have RI/DI Sting figures.

How much is it over there in aussie dollars? Not sure about Aussie, but here in NY they were $10.99 + tax at KMart. After NY state sales tax they were $11.91 each. |

that headscan is amazing, i cant wait to get the RA version when they come out.
i'm thinking i might get an extra one and paint it skintone for a street gear sting too.

Its pretty good for here, DAs were always over $20 so at least they are cheaper than they were. hey kaneisdaman. maybe i'm rude in asking this, but if a figure is $18 Aus....how much do you make an hour, in comparison, at your job? It aint about how much i make, i know the $18 seems a lot to people outside the US but with currency conversion and then shipping from store to store factored in, our prices are always a fair bit higher than US, just how the dollar works. |
