DM Surfer Sting Official MOC and Loose Image!

the new boots have to be Ziggler or Billy Gunn boots - Sting had straps along the sides, it wasn't just plain.

I thought of that and had a couple pairs of Dolph boots set aside for this figure. Then thinking about it I was pretty sure Sting only had the one buckle at the top of the boots on the outside. (Maybe there were 2 like his DM) But the Dolph/Gunn boot have 3 or 4 straps that wrap completely around it. And the L1/e30 LOD boots would make him to tall unless they changed the calves to smaller ones. If that is the case I would rather they be plain and paint the buckle on myself. Still Dolph's will still be better than laced boots. lol

Sting using the Batista torso? Wha?

I thought it was obvious choice to be the Macho Man one..

They did that already with the Crow Sting. But seeing this figure has more than likely already gone into production there is no way they are going to have another new boots mold sculpted and made in time for the correction Bill mentioned. So they will probably go with a laceless boot that they already have.

I forgot about that! Seems like someone dropped the ball if it's a part that they already made!

Yes, but the Crow Sting has much thicker legs than this one. So the boot overlaps way to much.

Here's a quick pic of the Sting boot and an e17 Lawler's on the calves the Sting will use.



Give him the E17 Lawler/E14 Del Rio boot (has two buckles at least Lawler's boot does) than use the DM Sting foot to remove Lawler's third buckle.

Here is the Lawler styled boot in white. Although this one is the basic version. But you get the idea.


Give him a different foot to remove that third buckle and that will be the best option for now.

The Crow boots aren't taller. They were sculpted as if they were mid-match where they were sliding down. They are no taller than the Lawler boots or the laced boots on the proto. They are all the same height. The LOD boots are taller.
