Well I have an extra Barry Windham torso (same as Austin torso but more tanned) so hopefully it will work with those arms and head colour. Looks like I have to do a torso crack on top of changing the boots. Can't do anything with the head unless MDT release better Surfer Sting heads in future elites or basics windham has the barrett torso..and he's the plain white guy skintone British Bulldogs have the Austin torso in tan tho

Barry-British-B =P I know why I confused myself, because I gave my Barry an Austin torso; but the tanned Austin torso is definitely British Bulldog.

Looks like I have to do a torso crack on top of changing the boots. Can't do anything with the head unless MDT release better Surfer Sting heads in future elites or basics I'll give you that he grimaced a lot during his power-ups and taunts. But gosh man, Mattel's sculptors gave him a mouth guard not teeth!!! Oh and the calves of the figure gives it away that it's the legs from Elite Christian (yellow tights) not the L1 Hawk legs. Not sure about the legs, because while the calves are Christian's the rest might be Hawk's. Hawk has a shorter lower leg to make up for the taller boots. So it would need the longer lower Leg of Christian/King. But I don't know if it is the whole leg. I don't have Christian in front of me now but I think the Christian/Pillman legs are leaner than Hawk's. As for the head I really thing it looks like that because they painted his gums white also. If it was only on the teeth I think it would look alot better. I am hoping if mine has white paint on the gums a little goof off and repainting of the teeth will fix that.

It's the Tasmanian Devil! I'll still buy it, even though it looks odd.

Will the boots be corrected on this? Supposedly, but I think the boots are the least of this figures problems right now.

my excitement for a neon tights Surfer sting elite...just went from a 10 to a 2 for the last year i've been thinking of like 5-7 surfer sting elites i would want to buy. But honestly, if this is what they're going to look like..no thanks RSC's exclusive Scott Hall figure fixed the tiny arms and small shoulders of the DM Razor Ramon figure. Fingers crossed RSC gets a Surfer Sting exclusive....and they can get the torso, overbite and boots fixed. Its a longshot..but its something.

I'm out on it. They tried, they failed, I'll wait for another attempt. If we didn't already have Crow Sting, I might feel differently, but I can wait for something better.

Will the boots be corrected on this? Supposedly, but I think the boots are the least of this figures problems right now. Not supposedly, its definitely. These are images of a pre-production sample. Most of our official images are from such samples, which are the last ones I review before they are finalized.Sometimes I am able to catch late errors before production, as with the Renee Young figure. The boots are being changed to be more accurate. The 1st run will be the laced boots. The rest of the run will be corrected boots.Jacket being molded was an aesthetic decision based on the facts 1) Sting's arm streamers were much thinner and more numerous than Macho Man's. If I used a SG jacket he would have streamers the same size as Macho Man's, which I did not want (they have to be a certain size to avoid choking hazards, no way around it). 2) I would also have lost the epaulets on the shoulders. If I would have produced a SG jacket with wide arm streamers and no shoulder epaulets I would have heard the feedback as well I am sure.

Batista torso here is insane. who are the ad wizards who came up with that one.
MDT is all over the place lately. Their continued failure to use their library of parts effectively is disturbing. Why have we never seen the awesome road warrior boots on any one else? And here, the laced boots is so freaking annoying. I mean what goes on over there?
Another thing bothering me lately--what's the deal with the size of heads--Nastys have awesome but tiny heads while the new battlepack 2005 flair head is huge. Get it together man.

Last time we had a sub-par Sting figure, Bill went away
