Even though Sting is still too muscular, I'm going to buy this when I see it.

It's a great looking figure and it's a shame it's not an elite. I really like the scan and hope they use it on some future crow Stings, hopefully another 1998 version with his hair covering his ears.

Basic, Elite doesn't really matter to me as long as we get more surfer Sting figures. My only gripe about this figure is the legs are trunks legs molded in orange plastic so there so wrinkles or molded hidden knee pads. Like the neon green figure had. Maybe basic Edges thighs with Christian's calves would have kept him at this scale while giving him wrinkles and hidden molded knee pads? But I am just glad we got another surfer Sting.

Surprised/ disappointed we haven't got more elite blonde Stings. Not sure if I'll pick this up as I don't collect basics. The sculpt looks good though.

This to me, even though I ordered one from TRU, looks like a custom figure. The head looks like another painted up Cena. Or I could just be crazy. 😜

It would have been awesome as an elite. Disappointed at the lack of surfer sting elites. |

One of my favorite color combinations for Sting. I was really hoping this one would be an Elite after the neon green one came out a basic. I swear if we get a pink Sting as another basic lol...

I picked this one up the other day and I love the scan. It definitely should've been an elite. I was also curious if you had this one yet as I know you have a nice collection of Stings! |

You remember! Sadly I won't be picking this one up due to it being being a basic:/ I mainly just collect elites and pick up the occasional basic if I desperately need a headscan or a pair of arms etc. I really wish this was an elite. Also, call me weird, but I was never a really a fan of the pink attire. The irony is I might pick one up if the figure looks good. |

Looks dope. I'd recommend picking this one up. It's the best basic Sting for sure and it's up there with the best figs Mattel have released of him. Here's a question. What's your favorite Mattel release of Sting? |

What's your favorite Mattel release of Sting? Oh yea! I was referring to the all pink everyone wants in elite form lol. I really want to, but I just won't. I just hate basics lol due to the lack of articulation. Favorite one? Easy it's the Starrcade crow DM. I'll update this thread with my Mattel Stings once I get home. What's yours? |

The basic is probably my favorite era of Sting. You have no idea how bad I want the DM Great American Bash Sting to be the best one. Sadly it has too many issues. I still like the figure, but they could've done a much better job with it all around. |

I still like the figure, but they could've done a much better job with it all around. I grew up with crow Sting, but within the last few years I've been really getting into the surfer era. I remember as a child thinking that they were two different entities  There's a lot Mattel needs to work on both surfer and crow Stings imo.... Anyways, here's what I have Mattel wise. P.S.I used the sting you sent me for the last basic in the pic and yes I still hate basics lol.  IMG_7998 by matt grey, on Flickr |

Or I could just be crazy. 😜 I just received this in the mail from TRU & I must say, I was wrong with my first post about it here. I guess it's just the pics but in person this figure is amazing. Only thing that coulda, shoulda, woulda made it better is if it were an elite release. |
