Unless the basic has long tights I think they look ridiculous. Even Jericho made fun of his own basic recently. "Three cheeked ass" lol The figure that Jakks did of sting were really impressive and as we know, Mattel are all about detail so surely theyll be even better than the Jakks ones

I have a feeling the DM Sting will be the only Sting we get.

I have a feeling the DM Sting will be the only Sting we get. I wouldnt be upset if thats all they brought out because the DM figure looks unbelievable! Like i said previously I bought a basic Jakks Sting figure from US so Im happy with that I just thought Mattel would make a great basic figure of him, maybe his WM31 match with HHH. One can hope though!

I have a feeling the DM Sting will be the only Sting we get. I wouldn't worry about it. There is no reason to believe that there is any problem between Sting and WWE or Sting and Mattel. Sting was sent by the WWE to the Wizard World Convention in Philly this past weekend, he is currently filming interviews for a documentary on a new Sting DVD/Blu Ray, and he made his "WWE Debut" at Comic-Con last year promoting the Defining Moments Sting figure. I know fans are upset that the Defining Moments Sting has been "delayed", but it really hasn't been. When we first heard of the figure, they said it would be out around SummerSlam. RSC put up a really early date that they expected to get their first shipment in, and that was changed to more what we thought it would be. And the possible reason for the "delay" could be that they are fixing something or doing another type of running change. Fans are upset if something is the wrong color, the wrong size, or even like we saw with the WM31 Elites people get upset if the info on the back of the box is wrong. Maybe Mattel caught something and decided to fix it now before they put out a figure that is less than perfect. And Mattel keeps showing this figure at conventions. So bottom line, everything is great between Sting and WWE, and Mattel keeps showing the Sting figure. There is nothing to indicate that this figure won't come out, or that we won't get anymore Sting figures. We will get a LOT of Sting figures. I'm sure we will get a Survivor Series Sting, Sting in the black/red coat,, a Wrestlemania 31 Sting,...Bill already said Surfer Sting's are coming in 2016.... Everything will be fine.

Good a bit of info there thanks a lot! Mattel should do what ToyBiz did and do an evolution of Sting! I would defo invest in the ToyBiz one but the figures don't look all that great! I would love to see a Mattel Surfer sting, They will prob do a Survivor Series one as that was his debut, plus a WM31 figure Throw in a few Elites too while theyre at it They could even tease A WM32 match by doing a Wrestlemania Fantasy Match and having a double pack of Sting and Taker

The feeling that we won't get a Basic Sting has passed. Now I feel like we will get as many Stings as the market will bear.
In retrospect that feeling that the DM Sting was going to be the only Sting was probably just has. The old stomach ain't what it used to be.

Not that anybody except WWE, Sting and Mattel can possibly know what's going on with it

They should also release the Blade Runners.

They should release a box set similar to the ToyBiz One; Sting would be great to bring in some profit though too, all his merchandise are probably all wanted

C'mon MDT!!! You're leaving money on the table!!!

Just as long as the shelves aren't chocked full of them like they are with Hogans Nooooo, lol. As a Mattel collector since day one, I love going to a store and seeing all the Hogans and Flairs (and hopefully Stings one day!)... it's something I never thought I'd see, back when they were all signed with TNA. They can make as many as they like of each of them... I have a feeling the DM Sting will be the only Sting we get. I think at the very least, we'll get about 3 Elite Stings (DM, pre-'Mania look, Mania/Red coat look), plus a couple of Basics (most likely his current look and older Crow look). Plus MDT did say we'd be getting Surfer Sting in 2016, so I think they'll be plenty to look forward to. They all can't be Crow Sting though. Some of them need to be Beach Bum Sting. They should also release the Blade Runners. They should release a box set similar to the ToyBiz One; Sting would be great to bring in some profit though too, all his merchandise are probably all wanted I would LOVE Mattel to release "Evolution" sets like this... not just of Sting, but also guys like Hogan, Undertaker, Triple H etc. They'd be pricey (no doubt) but AMAZING.
