Perfect for a benoit custom I guess Good point. I'm rubbish at torso cracking, so this should do for my Benoit. This Sting could be an early sample, of course.

either this is April Fools or MDT is seriously f'n up the first ever Sufer Sting My favourite wrestler and the figure I looked forward to the most and there's so much wrong here.

I still think it should have been this... Legends Series 1 Hawk base figure. E39 Sting arms. Shorter laceless boots. (E18 King boot with DM Sting foot)
But until I see the figure in person or have it in hand I will not pass judgement on their part choice.

I dont know how you can hate on Ziggler and Cody figures and dont see how ripped/shredded Batista isnt a good choice for muffin top Sting?

I dont know how you can hate on Ziggler and Cody figures and dont see how ripped/shredded Batista isnt a good choice for muffin top Sting? It is a crappy picture. Which I am hoping looks better in person. But as I said above I do think the L1 Hawk should have been the base for this figure. I think the Austin torso would have been perfect for him. It's large, but not overly ripped. I am just hoping what they used doesn't look as Cartoony as the pic does. Or he will be wearing the jacket at all times. I was planning on displaying one with a DM Flair with HOF head inside a ring. Where Sting would be doing his taunt to a begging Flair. And if the figure looks as Cartoony as the pic the OP posted then I will not be doing that. I am not saying the Batista torso is by any means the right torso. I am just saying I hope it looks better in person, because this is a version of Sting that I wanted a figure off since I watched the match back in '90.

Torso is a tad too big, but I'll still get it. I've been waiting far too long not to.

I would be fired from my job for overlooking blatant details. Who overlooks this stuff on Mattels part? Lol

That really does look awful. I have no idea how that figure passed the prototype stages. The legs are way too skinny and the torso is way too big. Sting was a big guy in the 80s, but he was never ever as ripped as Batista. What a bad job by Mattel on this one.

I was going to pass on this figure, but it looks amazing! Most of the time Mattel does so-so work on their figures, but I have no gripes about this one! I might get 2-3 when Wal-Mart decides to $5.00 clearance them.

I'm not usually one to complain but this is ridiculous. Sting was known to have thicker legs and a bunch of junk in the trunk. He also wasn't absolutely shredded like Batista. Why give him little sticks? Fail Mattel Fail.

I try my hardest to not complain, but that torso is horrible. I'm hoping that's something WWE made MDT do and not a free choice because Sting never looked like that

The main problem is the legs. The torso is passable, but the legs make it look odd on him.
I'll get it though. I really want it.
