CT got the new boots, too. All four boxes at my TRU were in bad shape: PJ, I was going to buy an extra in case you needed an opener, but figured you would find him at your store, lol. That sucks about the boxes. Thanks for the thought. I was really surprised to see the updated boots so soon.

congrats PJ! Being in Canada I've got to wait for my RSC pre-order instead Even though I think you're looking at this figure through rose coloured lenses and not seeing the obvious short-falls, I'm happy you finally have him in your possession. I always figured you for a WWF guy not a NWA/WCW fan As the biggest Sting fan north of the border, I can't wait to get this figure, mod it up and have an awesome Surfer Sting on my shelf next to Lex and the 4 Horsemen.

As for the body based on the parts available the only thing that I feel is really off is the torso. It should have been Austin's. Sure in a perfect world he could have used thicker thighs also. But the thicker thighs used on Hawk, Edge or Bulldog all have shorter calves to make up for their taller boots. Not sure how the thicker thighs would look on the leaner longer calves. So with the parts I have no issues with the legs used.

Congratulations man. Always good to see a collectors dream fig come out. I can't wait to find this fig. Will definitely be picking up 2 of them. Can we move on to my dream elite 2pack now? WM 2 Bulldogs, with jackets and titles(silver plated)?

The scan isn't perfect or close to it (the nose is too bulbous, the teeth are awkward, there's no real emotion with the top half of his face), the torso is wrong, even you say it could go for thicker thighs, the wrong boots were first used, and there's a silly typo on the back of the box. It's OK to say this wasn't a perfect figure. Come to the jaded side young padawan, its better over here.

But the figure has an angry scrunched brow like the pic I posted yesterday. And they are pretty close.
