Can anyone explain to me why the Sting Defining Moment figures has a tab attached to the top of the package? None of the other figures had this did they?

Because they are hanging them on the store pegs instead of setting them on shelves like the others...

So will there be any Sting DM figures avail without the tabs? Or is Mattel producing them all with tabs?

All stings are with tabs. Only differences are with some int'l packaging, the bio is changed for multi language health warnings.

I don't mind the tab if I'm honest but I wish they had put it flat against the back end instead of in the middle just so that moc collectors have the choice of putting it up on the wall or not.

The boxes have shrunk (at least compared to the original DMs) because on of retailers Main concerns was/is shelf space. They have to work out every aisle so that every item they sell can fit onto the shelves. It makes it much easier if there is a hook on the package, that way they can hang them on the peg, and save space for other things.

I was wondering why on pics they were hung up, now I know there is a piece attached my confusion I solved. I haven't seen him at retail my local Smyths only had Hogans the other day, not even Ramon or Sting.I can't wait till I get Sting.

I found Flair hanging on pegs at KMart. Hogan hanging on pegs at KMart. Razor was hanging at WalMart. And Sting I have seen Hanging on pegs at both WalMart and TRU.

In retail its easier to free up peg space rather then shelf space. With the way the DM figures are released essentially all a store has to do is remove 1 elite space and hang the DMs up. With shelf space you'd have to completely readjust not only the 4 ft section but possibly the entire aisle.

Clearly, it's to lower him down onto the pegs from the rafters of the stores.
