Gloves

I don't collect anymore, so I won't be buying the figure. I wasn't complaining, just pointing out that I believe he should have those hands.

Buying well made and well designed products is fun. Clearly flawed and innacurately produced products are not as fun.

Good work should be applauded, poor work should be criticised. I understand someone being content, but that's no reason to get offended at or throw shade at people who see mistakes and think they should be remedied. No manufacturer is above criticism, no matter who their target demographic or price point.

"They're just toys so who cares" is the dumbest argument. Just because you're apathetic doesn't mean everyone else should be.

On the product packaging from a multi-million dollar company? Probably. On a messageboard where I post for free? Probably not.

The arms, shoulders, and lack of gloves are absolutely poor choices. Doesn't drop it from "great figure" to "absolute dogcrap," but it does drop it from great to okay, or whatever. They're questionable and poor part choices, which has plagued the line since 2010. Unfortunately, actually paying attention to detail is more something that happens in theory than in practice. It is what it is, and anyone who's collected Mattel figures from multiple lines over the years will back that up.


There's been plenty of figures that I would've liked to purchase, but passed on due to easily fixed problems that were ignored during the design process. Just because I vote with my dollar doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to express my thoughts on the subject though, especially on a forum for discussion of these things.

People get far too worked up about small stuff like this, seriously is this the worst thing in your life right now? lol

I still don't see the issue with his arms. He was a big guy. He might not have been as ripped as he was, but he was still a large guy at Starcade '97. They gave Elite 19 Dolph and 20 Rhodes they DM Steamboat arms which would have been what I gave Sting those or Sheamus. But he needs to be larger than those two so the only arms left that fit that are the Triple H or Brock arms. So to me the Triple H arms work. Would rather he had the Steamboat arms, but there's nothing wrong with the Triple H arms.

I think the sting figure looks fantastic, the arms look fine, he was a bigger dude.

And he wore Mechanix gloves...so other than a molded wrist area, there isn't much to the glove. So painted ones are fine

So if you hate them so much, why continue to come into the thread and troll and belittle people for discussing figures? I dug through your posts, I know you think everything Mattel does is great and perfect, but people don't have to be satisfied just because you are.

Your only contributions to this thread have been telling people their thoughts don't matter.
