Hey guys, I was just watching some old Wcw on YouTube & it gave me an idea. What do you think about an elite or (maybe a bit of a stretch) a defining moments "free agent" Sting? In a way it is a defining moment of sorts because it marked the very last time he appeared as "surfer" Sting on Nitro. Would you guys go for it? All apologies if it's been discussed before, if it was I missed it.

I just want as many bright colored elite surfer sting figures as they make and currently I own zero because that how many they've made.

If you scroll/skim through the following, recent "multitude of Sting(er)s" suggestion thread of mine, you shall see (near the end of the OP) that I have actually already previously, and coincidentally, completely concurred with you . . . just a bit before you ever even brought this topic up! forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/345278/surfer-stinger-pink-purple-heavyFWIW, I believe that the BATB 1996 3-pack Stinger head sculpt lends itself quite well to other attires & looks from around that time frame amid his brown-haired era. Thus, such a likeness could obviously include a red, white & black "Free Agent" version. After all, said sculpt does just so happen to depict intensity similar to the apparent anger & betrayal that Sting successfully portrayed as feeling on that (in)famous night/episode of Nitro, which he translated in-ring through his character on the stick! It certainly was one of his better and more memorable promos (IMHO). Granted, personally, I still think a basic/core figure would be just fine for accurately representing those red and white tights, along with his matching face paint style. That is, I am not so sure something of that ilk warrants being fittingly featured as a DM release per se, especially when taking into account the absence of additional accessories (e.g. entrance jacket/other regalia, at least specifically during that segment). Albeit, I also agree it was quite literally a defining moment of sorts, particularly considering this was indeed the preemptive prelude to what would soon come, as in approximately only one month later when he made his debut appearance as the "Crow" persona! |

I'm all for more Sting figures. For me, guys like him, Warrior, Bret, Macho Man, RVD, Flair, and some others should be right up there with a Cena/Mysterio in regards to constant repaints. The amount of cool color schemes are all there to make some impressive looking figures.
With that said, I feel like Mattel seriously needs to listen to the fan base on Sting releases. For whatever reason, they keep dropping the ball a bit with his figures due to poor part choices.

We need a boatload of Stings, he's my favorite of all time. The only thing that bothers me are the parts they're using. The surfer needs the Austin torso, the crow has a torso (the Wolfpac one) that not only makes him shorter, but is way too thin, has roided arms, short boots (when they should be tall), the modern version should have the Wolfpac torso (Mr.perfect torso just looks weird in general) and newly designed glossed boots. I think for a character that has such a minimal look little details like these should be payed attention to. I've waited years for really good Sting figures and the closest one to perfection is the crow DM.

we have such a huge UNDER-representation of surfer Sting in elite form that I will NOT endorse another defining moment figure of him when he ended that gimmick!!!
my god MDT, I hope you are going to flood us with Surfer Sting elites at SDCC next week!!!!

I may be in the minority because it seems like everyone wants more surfers but I want early Crow Stings. I think we can all agree that we're good on old man receding hairline soul patch Crow Sting though.

I would like that along with multiple other versions of Sting given he was my favorite as a kid. That one would be pretty easy to make using the TNF 3-pack Sting molds/parts but with a new paint job. Only about a 2 or 3 month time difference between the two.

I see this Sting as maybe a basic at some point......if we're lucky. That probably contains too much deco, plus additional accessory molding, for a basic figure. I say that simply because—if you recall—he was actually wearing the multicolored BATB '96 "STINGER" tights beneath the trench coat, along with what appeared to be black, high top shoes (as opposed to wrestling boots) and a plain, black tee shirt. Actually, now that I think about it, that entire attire ensemble was kinda merely a mishmash, as he was still transitioning/finding his "Crow" niche, I suppose. Don't get me wrong, since I feel it was one of those clashing kind of things where it was somehow a goofy look in a good way! |
