Even though it would be Basic, I'd love to see a Sting boxset/5-pack (like the recent Undertaker one)... it could have: blonde/Surfer Sting, brown-haired Sting, Crow Sting, Wolfpac Sting, modern/WWE Sting. Can the one brown-haired Sting be this one packaged backwards? One of my top Surfer Sting wants. Hopefully we will get many more Surfer Stings and this will be one of the attires.

You guys are too funny with Sting. It's never enough, even tho there's been how many basic and elite Stings? I don't know exactly, but gotta be around 10. Surfer Stings? There's been 4 (2 basic, 2 elites)... 2 of which had the wrong torso, 3 of which had heads that were WAY too big. Its a very simple figure to make. Its a legit money maker like Savage & Warrior with all the colorful attires...yet Mattel consistently struggles putting it together. We're hardly asking for a lot. Just a simple "think" before you piece a figure together.

I don't know exactly, but gotta be around 10. “Surfer” Sting, as the internet has coined was when he was blonde, we’ve had one poorly executed elite. Crow Sting on the other hand & Wolfpack have both been home runs. Edit the DM GAB fig wasn’t horrible, still happy to of got that era of Sting, but the torso was way off (especially in comparison to the legs) and the paint apps on the teeth made the sculpt look bad.

I wonder if the Warrior is from the cover of a Coliseum Video they did for him in 1992, even though the picture could have been taken earlier.

As someone who waited 25 years to get a factory ‘90 GAB figure I love it flaws and all. I made one out of a Toy Biz Sting figure and then one from one of his Jakks So to finally have a real one I was over the moon. People complain about the head, but he made that face in almost every match I see the expression they were going for. As for the body I said since day one it should have used Austin’s torso, the DM Steamboat/E19 Ziggler arms, and thicker thighs. But it didn’t and I can live with that although I did swap and Austin torso on a double I have. But for all the complaints the DM figure gets because the body choices nobody seems to care that Harlem Heat uses the same body parts as used on Sting. I am just glad to have the GAB Sting and Harlem Heat in my collection. Sting and the EG Piper are my two favorite figures in my collection. Now bring on many many more surfer Sting figures please.

Ok, we need another Cena and another New Day attire. How about a Shelton Benjamin?

If you are talking about this one (pic below) then yes, that seems to be the consensus on what the new Warrior figure will be. And, I believe the pic is from the summer of 1991.

I love the GAB head scan, i hate the scaling. I did the torso swap and it looks so much better with the bulldog torso.

Since Sting is replacing Enzo I am assuming the jacket will most likely be a repaint of the U.S.A.one. Whatever I will buy any and all Surfer Stings. Hopefully warrior has a new head sculpt. If it is like the GAB ‘91 picture that was posted we can put it (jacket) on the Basic 61 (?) Neon green Starrcade ‘90 Sting.

I would argue....the GAB fig WAS horrible. out of the nearly 400 mattel figs i bought. This was probably the worst and most disappointing. I liked the hair and paint apps on facepaint, tight design and coat were alright. Everything else was bad. wrong arms, torso, legs, boots, huge head, bad face, rubber coat.

Has it been confirmed that this Sting is a surfer version? I feel like it might be a last minute figure. I just want a proper singlet Sting. Every single one they've put out has a flaw. I noticed that the hall of fame Eddie has a slightly thicker upper torso with the lower Sting torso. They should try and use that combo instead of the Wolfpac or Perfect torso which looks unproportionate with the thick legs.

I really like the GAB Sting too... the scan/head isn't great, but you can see the look they were going for. And I don't mind the jacket being plastic (which seems to be a common complaint)... it looks good, which is the main thing. It's a shame they didn't include the Big Gold belt with him too, but you can easily add that.
