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. I'd love the original blue galoob...

I know the rule is that the figures have to be based on actual attires but I would think they could make an exception in this case because the figure itself is so iconic. Itβs definitely not something I expect to actually happen though.

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
Thanks. Helpful to know -- think I'm going to hold off on buying. Do you know what figure it replaced last minute?

All I know is that an Ultimate Edition Sting would have been amazing regardless if it was the Crow or Surfer look. Sucks that we most likely will never see that. All the same, I'm really glad we got a MOTU Sting.

Sting feels like one of those wrestlers you can't really complain didn't get the right figures (Unlike Hogan, with the whole current before a Hollywood etc) He got a great collection of figures and all his most iconic looks.

I really wanted a Sting in red/yellow from the 1995 story arc where he was trying to turn Hogan from the darkside...I though that was a great outfit. Also as I mentioned? I really wanted the Blade Runners...a basic 2 pack would have done. really unique chance to get a team that had NEVER been made. Now? Itll never happen.

Did the galoob figures have actual attires or were they made up? I donβt remember him ever wearing them but I could be wrong Most were actual attires... definitely. I'm not sure about Sting because it had black boots, and I can't remember him wearing black boots with blue tights. He was like Warrior that way, not usually wearing black boots (though he did it more often than Warrior). Like you said, though, most Galoobs were actual attires, so the Stinger absolutely could have been. I know when I was a kid I was disappointed with the black boots on the Galoob figure. Even then I wanted something more like what I was seeing on TBS Superstation every week.

I am sure he did wear black boots with the blue, because he did it with the neon green, neon pink and orange attires also from time to time.

I just recently found out Warrior had a second match (at least) in black boots after thinking for years he only wore black against Rick Rude at Wrestlemania V.

The studio photos circulated around here years ago, which confirmed why Doom was wearing the sweatpants.

In '87 and '88 Sting wore black boots a lot. Here he is with blue tight and black boots.

The Major Pod has discussed this a lot. Galoob used photos off a House Show -- when Doom was wresting in a street fight. Hence, we got horrible figures...

I sure hope Galoob figure makers had thick skin
