i've been waiting for a early years blonde Sting in WWE figure form for soooooooo long. I know I'll get it no matter what it looks like.

The thing I liked about Mattel is all the part choices...but now theyre all over the place. Can guys with flattering torsos at least match guys with the same build?
So stupid. The last two days ive felt crappy and this doesnt help

More for me...it's a nice figure overall and I actually like that torso, all it needs is white Ziggler boots and it'll be fine. I don't base an entire figure on something as minor as a torwso mold. I'll get the Sting, and I'll get another to make a Benoit(good idea). HBK is my favorite wrestler and I wish they'd give him Slater or LOD boots instead of kickpads, but its a minor issue and I can look past that because the figures are overall great in appearance.

If the tone matches Austin I'll have to do the same

how do u not give the figure the Austin torso (or even Macho)....crow boots and just call it a day.
21 months?
i just can't see how the same company that can make a near perfect figure like JYD or Godfather.....can also be the same one that puts the wrong kneepads on nearly every figure, chooses inaccurate torsos for Surfer sting/sycho sid/HOF jake, and gives me a Faarooq thats 3 shades too dark.
i know not every figure can be a homerun. But its such a bummer when the one they mess up on, is the figure u were most looking forward to.

that torso is excellent for dudes that used to be huge but age has since flattened them out(batista, hogan and steiner). i have no clue what the hell that thing is doing on an in-his-prime sting. bulldog/legends hawk would've been great. between the kinda-looks-like-sting-if-i-squint scan, the wrong boots(yeah, yeah, they're being corrected) and now the completely wrong torso... they botched the crap outta this.

They're knocking most figures out of the park but there have been way too many dud figures lately. Wrong parts choices, not including elbow/knee pads, giving a wrestler the wrong elbow/knee pads are all issues that have been occurring lately.

Well you are a bigger man, not only in stature. As minor as a torso mold??? That's half the figure! His face sculpt is already iffy with the big old mouth guard, his boots are wrong which Bill said will be corrected but with what?!?! And some people aren't loving the plastic jacket. That's definitely a lot more minor issues than HBK's kickpads.

If those are the Legends Series 1 Hawk legs I have no issue with those, because they don't have any larger plain tights molds besides the Kane/Taker legs which would be to large. I hated when they painted Triple H's bare legs into tights on the E23 figure. So if those are Hawk's legs I am fine with them. But the Austin torso was the way to go and then give him the e39 Sting arms. Basically I wanted this but with the E18 Lawler lower legs and boots with the DM Sting foot....

The head sculpt is fine. He made that face in almost every match vs Flair. Flair would chop him then Sting would beat his chest into a power flex pose with that expression while Flair would either drop to the mat begging for mercy or back up begging for mercy. So while it isn't a standard facial expression I have no issue with the sculpt.

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 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.
