Do you guys think that DM Sting will get a fabric coat, similar to what came with Entrance Greats Undertaker? Or do you think he will get one of those horrible plastic shells that comes with almost every figure that has a coat now?
I was so impressed and happy with DM Flair because of that beautiful cloth robe.....and then I was so disappointed with DM Hogan because it came with a hard rubber top. It almost looks like a VEST. The DM Hogan top should have been cloth and had Velcro in the front to simulate the tearing action.
Now with Sting, I'm very worried that they are going to cheap out and give him a hard rubber coat.
For $24.99 (or what could be even higher by August with all the prices going up), these figures need to come with accessories that make them worth the extra money. Rubber accessories make them no different than something we could get from the regular Elite Flashback line.
To justify the very high price point, I think Sting should come with the same style of fabric coat that Entrance Greats Undertaker did.
Does anybody have any information on this, or maybe MDT wants to chime in if they feel like it?
Thanks.

I'll be happy with either. I have no issues with plastic coats.

Rubber coat Baseball bat WHC To me, a rubber coat, a WWE WHC (that Sting never held as it represents WWE's version), and a baseball bat does NOT justify the $24.99 price point.

I assume it will be a plastic coat and the baseball bat. I will still hope for a fabric coat

A lot of times, the cloth jackets & accessories look too bulky & sloppy....
If they do a nice "leather" type looking coat, I'd be okay with it.... I feel like cloth might not come out looking right.
I'll be getting this either way.... I've got quite a Sting collection & this belongs in it!

Cant remember. Flair never held the WWE version of it, but with that beautiful cloth robe, the title to me was not important. Unless Sting comes with something REALLY special, what makes it worth being a DM? Why couldn't it just be in the regular Elite line as a Flashback if it just comes with a rubber coats, the inaccurate WWE WHC, and a baseball bat? Then you're basically just paying extra money for the DM Box.

Just happy to get a Mattel Sting figure.

To me it does because it is the only figure in the set to be released at the time and will be released in a lower production run than a regular elite line figure. So the cost to release a one figure wave will raise the cost of the figure compared to a six figure set. Plus he comes with new parts. And if he does come with a coat, title and title there's no way he would fit in the Elite lines production budget...unless 2 or more in the wave had no accessories.

I'd be happy with that duster the ToyBiz Sting's came with. That way it gives off that leather look. If not, plastic works.
If we're being nitpicky about prices, let's throw in a bat, a World Title, a Vulture, a zip-line cable, two contracts (one against Syxx, one against Curt Hennig),an nWo shirt, a Scorpion Shirt, a sign that says "Hulk vs. Sting", and a Head of Hollywood Hogan.
Maybe add a confused JJ Dillon and Mean Gene figure since for three weeks they couldn't figure out what Sting wanted.
Ok the last one was a bit much. Just up to the Hollywood Hogan head.

Those rubber jackets are really useless though. If anything it should be fabric or cloth. I'm not sure what the name of the material that windbreakers are made of but I think that would work nicely for this. Oh and since this is Sting's first wwe figure it should get a special treatment for the jacket! Add in a baseball bat and I'm set! Btw Sting is my favorite wrestler so I'm hyped!!!

I honestly think if they do it right a rubber coat would look better

Fabric damn it! Otherwise that Sting might as well be a FB. I thought the point of Defining Moments was to include things that we normally wouldn't get in the elite line, and the price is higher.

I'm not overly worried because of Hogan's shirt. To get a really good tearing look, it pretty much had to be plastic. But I only display anyway so whatever looks best is fine by me (prefer cloth though)
