I will buy multiples of any and all Sting figures released. Exceptions being Wolfpac Sting where I will probably just buy one (Hated the red/black facepaints) and if they ever decide to put out a TNA Sting in those fur pads singlets he had there. I will pass on any of those. Luckily we don't have to worry about that unless he wears it in the WWE. Same. Sting wore fur singlets? Not really fur, but his pads were a rust/browish color and looked extra large and it reminded me of Giant Gonzalez in his WWE attire. This one...

Are you OK with the overly jacked arms? I know you're very particular with having the arms just right on a figure.

He is still larger than many in the wwe especially Dolph so it's these or Brock's arms for a larger arm. If Dolph had his original arm then I would want modern Sting to get the e30 Hawk/boPPV Bret sized arms. Now if the GAB Sting comes with the laced boots like the CGI pic we saw then I will throw a Hissy fit!

I hate to keep being so negative on this thing, but it still looks really bad. The headscan is just a really poor representation of the character. It looks like a scuplt from 2000 not 2015. The only other complaints I have are the huge calves and the steroid arms (on a middle-aged man... I mean really?)
I preordered it, and it should arrive tomorrow. I'm going to take a stab at fixing it up, but am doubtful that I can do much. Sting is my favorite wrestler, and it's pretty disappointing that Mattel put out such a lousy product.

Mine will be here tomorrow and I can not wait. Disappointed to find out his skin color does not match with other Stings. Cause I was thinking bout ordering B55 and using the head, gloves, and coat from the Elite on the Basic body. Thanks, least you saved me money. Now if the GAB Sting comes with the laced boots like the CGI pic we saw then I will throw a Hissy fit! I'll be right there with you. I've waited 25 years for a GAB Sting, so it better not have laces!! Laces out Bill! Laces Out!!

It's the closest-looking mold Mattel has to the boots Sting used to wear back then. Just acetone off the "X" logo and you've got nice white strapped boots with black soles - just like Sting wore. I've got my pair waiting for GAB Sting! And if they release more neon Stings but give him lace boots, I'll just get more Billy Gunn boots because Sting wore white boots with neon tights alot too.

Great figure. I wish Mattel would create a tee shirt bicep piece and an untucked tee shirt ab piece.

Oh I have a couple pairs each of Gunn's, Lawler's Dolph's just in case they stick with the laced boots or the extra pair of DM Sting boots don't fit right.

there's something very wrong with the face/head scan.....I can not put the finger on what exactly is wrong with it though

I think the face is pretty accurate for modern Sting.

I'm pretty indifferent on this one - don't love it, don't hate it. I mean, Sting's like Macho, Hogan, and a few others....I'm gonna buy 'em all!

Just wanted to let you guys know that the head on this figure is seriously way better in hand. I just got mine today, and it honestly does not look bad at all...this is one of those figures that just doesn't seem to photograph well.
The way that PJ (no offense, my good man) took the picture makes it appear as though stings head is looking up a bit, and it's throwing it off. In reality, he's got stings long pronounced chin, while pics so far have made it look smushed and tiny.
But this is why all the profile pics look so much better and way more accurate. Believe me, you won't be disappointed once you get this figure in hand...I was so bummed over those proto pics, relieved at RSF & moc pics, then got upset again over these initial in hand pictures. As soon as I opened up the mailer box today, I immediately loved the figure again.
