Am I the only one who thinks the torso is too small or the legs too thick? It looks that way in photos about the torso, but with the exception of the ripped arms the figure is spot on for Starcade '97. If he had large less ripped arms he would be perfect. Sting always had thick powerful legs. As for the arms maybe Taker, Kane or original Rock sized arms would be perfect, but I have no issues with what they gave him. I think Orton's new arms would be perfect (minus the tats, obviously). The Stinger had big arms, they just weren't very ripped.

Hey pj do E30 Hawk's arms match Sting's skintone? If you so would you mind swapping to see what it looks like? Another thing, the head looks like it's floating or it might just be a tad big. Do you think shortening the peg might help? Thanks!

The head is definitely not to big it might look like it sits high because it needs room for the jacket to fit under the hair. As for the arms swap I don't think the skin tones are a perfect match. Plus I don't like doing swaps until I have doubles. Just in case something goes wrong.

Your favorite mattel figure? I thought you hated the bat

Yes my favorite figure. The bat doesn't look bad in person, (some pics made the barrel look like one of those huge wiffle ball bats) but I still think it should look aluminum and not wooden. Maybe tomorrow I will look for one of my Toy Biz Sting bats to see how they look.

Can you take a picture with the Mattel world title or even the nWo one? When I get mine, im sure ill have a thread too. While Surfer Sting is a lot of guys priority, Crow Sting is Sting to me. MNW kid 4 lyfe I added a few more pics including a pic of him with the Mattel World title belt.

I wish it was a few weeks earlier because I would have had my Brother-in-law get it signed at the Philadelphia Comic Con when he was there.

Got my Sting in today! Absolutely love this thing...it's such a well done figure and I really appreciate all of the new tooling that went into making this guy a reality. The head sculpt is pretty dead on and he looks so awesome with the coat on, bat in hand and nWo belt over his shoulder!
The only real gripes I have are the arms and hands. I absolutely loathe that arm mold; they just look awkward and I sware they can never just hang in a neutral, arms at the side position. I had a second Sheik that was pretty close in skin tone so I swapped those arms. Though I like what someone said about Ortons E35 arms...
I was also seriously scratching my head as to why they just painted regular hands black. They have an excellent gloved hand mold for Goldust that would have been perfect, and being a DM it really needed them. Fortunately I had a now outdated basic Goldie and added those along with taker 'cuffs' and it looks so much better and more detailed.
In doing so, I noticed the wrist peg on those gloves is much larger than the standard hand and so i had to make the wrist hole on the arms a bit bigger to fit and be able to twist freely...so perhaps that's why they don't really use that mold? Either way, I'm super happy with the way Stinger looks now...and that wait for Hollywood Hulk Hogan just got that much more difficult!

I despised Sting joining the nWo red. Hated it with every fiber of my being.
