The only thing that I don't like, but won't stop me from buying it, is the red shirt. I don't even mind that it's molded, I just don't the color. I would have went with the traditional black and white and saved the red for a future Kmart t-shirt series.
The placement of the scorpions of on his legs doesn't bother me because a) it just doesn't and b) it will be displayed with the jacket on, so they will mostly be covered.

If Mattel didn't give that torso, they would have thrown in a plastic shirt which would be too big for the jacket and we would have complained about that.
I don't think it's that bad. There will be more Stings. Mattel actually gave him more hair like Sting went through Bosley's hair treatment.

I really dont think the head looks that bad. I think what is throwing everybody off is that Sting's hair IRL is very thin and its hard to make someone that has thinning hair in figure form. The figure has a legit full head of hair. I think that's what is throwing people off.

When Mattel botches a head like Trent Barretta's we can at least say, well, he's not a legend yet or anything. Gosh, its as if you were a butthurt Trent Barretta fan...

That shirt, kinda reminds me of this garbage.... That looks like a million bucks compared to the actual figure we got. No detail whatsoever. Black shoes and all red shirt. Icky. I still <3 mattel.

It's pretty fine by Mattel standards.

I don't mind the head/face. I think it looks like him in the face paint. I think it's the pic angle that makes it look odd. Hell I don't even mind the molded on shirt as much as most, but the think that does bother me the most is the scorpions placement. If the just placed them correctly with only the bottom of the scorpions showing with the rest being "hinted" as under the I would be so much happier with it. But putting the scorpions on the crotch like that just looks horrible.
I am sure they wanted to give us the whole scorpions, but then scrap the shirt or just give him a removable one and scrap the coat of they couldn't include both.

it would have been so much better to scrap the coat and include a cloth shirt.

When he debuted in WWE w/ the untucked stonger pants.....look how the scorpion is in a different spot compared to his WM 31 singlet

I didn't call them lazy and I don't need to have the figure in hand to say having the scorpions body's on his crotch and pads look like cr@p. I am sure that is like that because they wanted to give us the full scorpions. But that looks nothing like what he wears 95% of the time. They should have just given us half scorpions if they were going to make a molded shirt. At least that would look much more accurate. I don't mind the head/face.

But now I can accept those tights more. (I still don't like it, but I can accept it) Do you have a pic of him in that singlet with the red shirt? If so then I will have no complaints as it will be accurate.

I like it. Only wish there was more flesh tone on the sides of face, and bat was shorter/aluminum

The OP is 100% correct. This figure is an embarrassment.
It's Sting for crying out loud. The main issues are the headscan and the steroid arms. Good to know they totally ignored the arm complaints from the DM figure.
That headscan looks worse than headscans from 2010. It might be the worst headscan of any Mattel figure.
Plus Sting is suffering from steroid syndrome. The man is 56 years old. He isn't jacked!
The rest of the figure is okay. I'm okay with the shirt and the fat man calves.
Bill should apologize if this is the end product. I preordered this. I'm very close to cancelling my order. I've seen customs that are 100 times better.
One word. Three letters. B-A-D!

I know it's just a toy, but honestly?
Looking at that makes me want to cry in despair. I'll buy it because it's STING, but damn MDT, this is awful.

If so then I will have no complaints as it will be accurate. I think they got it right(for the most part). If you imagine the shirt un-tucked, the little scorpion legs line up. It was his RAW debut, so it makes sense to immortalize the moment.

They're probably going to scrap this now, due to the lack of interest from the customer.

All I have to say, is it better look not as bad in person. Because it looks bad,in picture. But I ing hate rubber coats. It ruined the only post wm20 Undertaker i tried to buy. It tore trying to get it off of him. He couldn't move his arms. They're ing cocooned in it in the box. They're so terrible...
