At least it has a new a new scan and will be taller than the short Starrcade '90 neon green figure. I am sure we will get at least one elite with this new scan. PJ at the rate Bill is going pumping out elite Crow Stings vs. Surfer Stings; I highly doubt we'll see an elite Surfer Sting in the near future. What pisses me off is that neon green and this orange version are as iconic as him in all-yellow and all-pink. They've MISSED serious opportunities to make this a cash cow. Surfer Sting is the equivalent of Ultimate Warrior for these guys. I would have expected a Clash of the Champions I Sting as a BASIC and this PWI 500 Sting (orange) as an elite. Folks can't argue that Surfer Sting isn't colourful enough for the kiddies on the consumer market. Hell MDT should be 2-packing Surfer Sting & Ultimate Warriors for massive income... This makes no f'n sense. I think we'll see an elite surfer Sting at SDCC which will be released before the end of the year. And you know me Surfer Sting's are my top wants. If it was up to me we would have one in every wave of Elites, Basics and BP's...Plus a boxed set of Sting's career like the Toy Box Evolution of Sting or Mattel's TRU Exclusive Rey Mysterio set. We still need a neon pink (hopefully the Beach Blast attire vs Cactus Jack) a yellow attire and I hope they redo the Starrcade '90 as an elite like they did with the EG HBk. (Just slot sooner! lol) |

I want every elite surfer sting in every color except I have this thing about hating USA patriotic attires on any figure.
So after almost three years that leaves me with no surfer stings... except the one from the bash at the beach which I love but it's the very very end of his surfer era.

Speaking of Sting: Am I insane for wanting a 'White Castle of Fear 2-pack'? Not in ring gear, although that would be good too, but a Sting in that horrible blue leather suit and Vader with his straps down and fur robe. I plan on making custom set at some point.

Sting looks like a custom using the early Elite Jericho head.

Would love to see that Sting and Batista in elite form! After the last few Spotlight releases Ambrose is a bit underwhelming seeing as how we just got a similar figure in E48. The more I look at that Sting the more I like it, we need a surfer Sting in every color!

What a great roll out. I like everything that was displayed. Like another poster said, it would have been nice to see some OVW attires for the class of 2002...but still cool.

Brock, Sting, Enzo and Cass are separate figures. Buy 1 or buy all 4, whichever you want.
Class of 2002 pack did have to change at last minute when the Shelton Benjamin return did not occur.

Ugh that Ambrose is a horrible choice for Network Spotlight. And that Batista should have been an elite.
Cool to see Nash and Hall in all black, but no way I'm buying a 5 pack to get them.
Mattel always seems to screw something up on what could be huge opportunities.

Sad to hear about that Shelton Benjamin figure not being included, I'm sure an elite of him would have been around the corner as well. Great to hear Sting will be in a single pack!

I like how they're releasing new Hasbro style figures this Fall, yet no one can find the Taker and Warrior ones from Series 1 yet.
Just brilliant, really.
And enough with the crappy basics, ugh.

Not in ring gear, although that would be good too, but a Sting in that horrible blue leather suit and Vader with his straps down and fur robe. I plan on making custom set at some point. With a vac metal(or a foil sticker) pair of these glasses. Accessories could be a strap and "flaming" table(clip-on flames) |

Well the Asylum cage certainly looks better than the match.
So all told with Hall and Nash's two battle packs, the WCW 4 pack and now this is that four straight releases all in a t-shirt and jeans?

The color of Deans pants is finally on the spot now! I did not really like the color of the elite 48 ambrose pants.
