My favorite wrestler of all time. Great collection of figures. The Network Spotlight basic is actually my favorite of all of the Surfer Stings Mattel released. OfΒ the ones with the better likeness of him it is the most colorful. I definitely think theΒ Defining Moments Crow Sting is the best one overall though. That one really stands out on the shelf. Agreed on the Network Spotlight. I threw on the blue jacket from the Evolution of Sting pack and the Ron Simmons HOC Title and it makes it even better!

I liked the mattel run of stings, but I never felt like they ever gave us the perfect sting.

Pity we won't see any more of Sting from Mattel...I would have loved the Blade Runners & some more Surfers...pity π€·ββοΈ Why does your network Spotlight Sting look red instead of orange?

While I agree with those who say we never got a perfect Sting, I like the orange and white Network Spotlight best I think. I just wish that headsculpt had a slightly taller or more vertical spiked haircut. It almost looks modernized, like what it would have looked like if Sting debuted in 2010. Still a solid job, though.

I actually repainted a jacket from an extra DM GAB Sting I had to match the Network Spotlightβs colors. The jackets from those 2 attires looked close enough in design that I think it works. I wish I had held onto my Evolution Of Sting set but I sold it with the rest of my Toybiz WCW figures a long time ago. I loved that line.

I'm hoping Jazwares does a better Surfer Sting head. Mattel just couldn't seem to get that one right.

I bought this on eBay not long ago. That head isn't nearly as bad on the BATB body.

Iβm still disappointed that weβll never get the early crow Sting in the legends series....I look at the empty space on my wall where it was supposed to go & Iβm sad

If I could own one Sting ever, it would be the Defining Moments Sting. That's my favorite one of him and I fear I'll never be able to get my hands on a mint complete figure for a good price.

Yeah -- I didn't look carefully at those photos. But what do people think of the actual Elite 62 Sting? Is it worth the aftermarket prices? What's the jacket like? How hard is the plastic?

I had it Moc at one point but sold it....of all the Elite Sting figures (and I have them all except this one now) this one is my least favorite....it could have been a much better figure had it not been a substitute for another that was pulled from that series....looking at it in person it felt rushed to me & I always thought the head was too big compared to the other Elites of him especially the Hall of Fame figure

Iβm not much of a customizer and that jacket was the first time I ever painted on a figure, so itβs not perfect. All I did was paint the red parts of the jacket orange and the blue parts a lighter shade of blue.

I canβt wait until we get surfer Sting figures from Jazwares. Iβd be very surprised if theyβre not the best Sting figures ever made. My dream Sting would be a modern remake of his original blue Galoob figure. That figure was the king of my fig feds as a kid. A pink attire would be good too.
