I recently got a network spotlight Sting and when compared to my other basic Sting with the green neon tights, the network Sting is noticeably taller. Was there any reason given for this? Seems very sloppy on Mattel's part.

Yes they corrected his height because the basic 62 Starrcade ‘90 neon green Sting was grossly too short. Now his basic are the same height as his Elites which was more on par to what he should be. It’s the same with the basic Crow Sting figures. They are noticeably shorter than the Elite Crow figures. There was a huge discussion about how they got first few basic Sting’s (B55, B62 & B68) height wrong when they were first released.

They need to fix his parts in general.. For both crow and surfer. The crow Sting needs taller boots and the Hall of Champions Eddie torso, Hawk arms, wrist cuffs from the new AJ figure. The Surfer could use the Austin torso and thick Ziggler legs.

Still love the way RSC Wolfpac Sting managed to capture Stings previously unheard of anorexia battle.
Bizarre torso choices for every single sting figure this far. Terrible in fact.

I'd like to see a redo of that neon green Sting. It's one the worst Basic figures Mattel ever made. Maybe make it a chase variant to the next surfer Sting, Elite or Basic.

They need to correct Sting’s parts and then stick with them. He’s got like 12 different body types and none of them are correct except the Starrcade ‘97 one and maybe the HOF figure

That’s one of the reasons why I hate that figure. It looks so unproportional. It was also missing the lines on his lips. It looks weird when you line up all the Stings together and they all have 20 different part choices. |
