I was waiting to see who that WCW Title is coming with but yes its really dumb not to have any Surfer Stings. MattelDesignTeam comes here...they have to know....I mean Jesus people for 2-3 years now have been screaming SURFER STING....Ive failed to see 1 person say "Gimme Shark" Gimme SHARK!!!!! Also I'll settle for Avalanche Or the I just dont care anymore version John Tenta, AKA the Jakk's final days Earthquake. Also...... Yo Baby Yo Baby Yo Gimme PN NEWS I'd love to see as many Surfer Stongs as possible.

Its amazing to me Mattel has Sting under contract for this long and we still dont have a great Surfer Sting I understand they needed to get as many Crow Stings out as possible but they can atleast give us one great Surfer Sting with the right parts bye now.

I just don't think MDT cares for Surfer Sting - they couldn't get him right with his DM and they still refuse to give us what we've been asking for - elite surfer stings!!!! my god, he has an equal amount, if not MORE colourful outfits and make-up than Ultimate Warrior and Randy Savage. He is a cash cow and I don't understand why MDT are sitting on their laurels with this.
Must not be in their spreadsheets.

making/releasing the Shark was a big mistake IMO. with TNF Qauke warming issue and all. SOOO many others they coulda did. like Sting.

It bothers me in a sense that Mattel is finally able to give us a decent surfer Sting, but it turns out to be a basic (network spotlight). I want more Sting figures crow, surfer there's a lot to be done. You would think that after all these years Mattel would capitalize and churn out the void that was about 16 or more years of non WCW Sting figures. There's a lot they could do with the crow as well like '96 crow with the single lines, '98 with the sculpted shoulder singlet he had (not referring to starrcade), 1999 where he had the white boots, another 1999 version where he wore a sleeveless shirt and padded pants. It's a matter of retooling parts and creating new headscans to keep them fresh. However, I don't see Mattel going the extra mileage for Sting... I think their best Sting has been the crow DM and even then it's lacking. Here's some subtle differences between then '97 and current Sting. His boots were different ('97 he had tall boots with 4 boot locks, rather than three) however both releases shared the same, he was more built and muscular back then, we get a skinny torso on the wolfpac that doesn't match it's legs proportion wise, then the hof has that weird torso with the wide chest, but thin waist. I wish Mattel would take in the these details because I'm sure a lot of people are tired of the crow Sting. Most of the problems being with how it's literally the same release with any few changes when there's things that should be retooled and changed. The surfer Stings are another topic, they have the Austin torso, the arms they have now are fine, they have the network spotlight, they have the thick ziggler legs and I believe the best boots would be the first laceless uso boots. I just really wish Mattel would go all out. Sting is my favorite of all time and it would be nice to have his career displayed properly.

Jakks did make a couple of surfer Stings in that 16 year span actually.

aggressiveperfectpoor I believe they made about two, but they made no WCW crow stings at all. Mattel on the other part can perfect them if they want to.

I don’t have issues with the torsos used on Crow Stings. I feel it’s the shoulders they use that is the issues. Here was a HOF Sting I was converting into a WCW era Sting, but never finished. I still need another of the newest long haired Sting to finish it. Anyway it looks much better with the larger Triple H shoulders. With Triple H shoulders & arms Comparison with one I finished that used the old shoulders and Ziggler arms - The larger shoulders make him look much larger.

We still await a "definitive" Surfer Sting. Hopefully it comes in 2018. Weve got a few Stings but nothing that would make me think its the one. Surprising to me

From the Q&A, no Surfer Sting in 2018 but there's one that Bill wants to work on that could possibly come out in 2018 or 2019.

Im boycotting any Sting figures until there's an elite Surfer Sting. Mattel wont get $.01 of my money towards a Crow Sting.

Remember when Bill said you guys were gonna get Stung, and everyone thought it meant they were gonna get a ton of sting figures from different eras?
It really meant "this is gonna sting" lol

I don’t know how much more begging everyone has to do before we get Surfer Sting. Can’t believe there isn’t one planned for 2018.

It doesn't surprise me that they wouldn't release another Surfer Sting. Flair, Steamboat, Razor, Bret Hart, and Stone Cold were all legends in the Defining Moments line and we didn't see many more of those in other Elite lines. And I know it might shock some people, but perhaps Sting in general doesn't sell that well. Plus add to the fact that any time a Sting is released people will just find a reason to complain about it. Why bother.
