The most accurate thread title of all time.
The figure does suck. Shame on Mattel.

I'm not too excited about it from the pics I've seen. I feel like the Jakks coat will be huge on him since it's already pretty big. However, I am excited about the basic surfer Sting coming up!

I can't wait for this figure to ship. I have two preordered. I think the face scan captures his power up taunt perfectly. And hopefully RSC shipment will be with the laceless boot. When it arrives I will probably pull out an ESR and set it up again with the WCW ring skirt/mat and display him and my DM Flair with HOF Flair head in it. For someone who switches out kneepads and arms like a maniac, you honestly think this figure looks good? The face isn't good at all, wrong boots and silly rubber coat

I have to disagree about this scan capturing his powering up face, it looks Gary Busy about to hit the waves.

I'm not impressed either.

Is there any chance, that like the laced boots, the torso was an error too? However unlike a relatively simple boot swap, the torso could not be changed?
Or
The Piss Poor Part Selection was done by an intern with a box full of Create-A-Superstar parts?

It looks like a tanned turd with bubba teeth.
I was looking forward to owning it. Now nope.

I have no problem keeping mine standing. Of course mine is still MOC, but still, no problem.

As long as the head isnt as big as it seems, a torso swap might help this figure greatly. What Im worried about is the head looks pretty big on the Batista torso. So putting it on a Macho Torso or Bulldog torso wont help it any.

I honestly like the scan. It looks like Steve Borden to me, It's the torso, and the legs that are the problem.

This is the least exciting surfer sting figure I can imagine. I'm not sure yet if I'll get it.... Maybe when it's down around $5.
I would be very excited if the neon green surfer sting was elite.

For someone who switches out kneepads and arms like a maniac, you honestly think this figure looks good? The face isn't good at all, wrong boots and silly rubber coat The face is perfect for that match as he did that power up taunt every time Flair chopped him. The only issue I have seen with the face is they painted the gums of the mouth white like the teeth. So yeah I will fix that when I get it. People are saying the head it to big, but it isn't. He had a long face to begin with. Plus he had high spiked hair so the head's scale is fine. The boots have been changed to laceless boots which while they still aren't perfect and 100x better than the laced boots. As for the jacket like the RSC Hitamn's jacket I love the look of it. Sure in a perfect world the torso would be Austin's and the thighs would be thicker, but from the detailed pics a couple members posted the figure doesn't look bad. I have wanted this figure to be made for 26 years and I will be happy to add multiples of it to my collection. I will probably do a torso swap on of them. But this figure can't get her soon enough for me.

I thought it looked awesome from pictures posted in another thread. I'll probably pick him up if I see him. Beggars can't be choosers guys, is it better to have Zero Sting figures? Cause that's what everyone was working with before the TNA line and his Crow Mattel release.

If they're going to mess up a Surfer Sting I'm glad it's USA Sting, because this is not how I remember him best.

This is a good point.
