This has instantly become one of my top favorite figures. All of the bad publicity that this figure has gotten, finally in my hands with the correct boots, there is nothing wrong with the torso. The legs are fine, the head isn't too big and the mouth doesn't necessarily need pink on the gums. Easily one of the greatest figures I own. Thanks and keep up the great work, MDT!

I don't have much gripe with the figures execution.... I just don't like the gab attire. I'll buy it eventually, but I'm not real excited for it.

The torso is a little big but it's not as ridiculously big as its made out on here, and even with the wrong boots (which I've got) it's still a fantastic figure! Not worth dm prices but it's still a great addition to my collection.

I saw the figure at my TRU today. Great figure, but I only need the head to make a Mattel version of Marvel's Nuke, so I passed and will pick it up another day.

Originally, I had no interest in GAB Sting because I preferred his Crow gimmick. But, the more I see this figure and after watching the actual match, my tune has changed. Still not to the point where I would order it online at this moment though.
I do have a strong feeling it will warm pretty hard so I'll grab it when it's discounted on Amazon or something.

I just picked up the one with the wrong boots. And I really like this figure. The GAB outfit has been my number one favorite look of Sting's since 1990, so I'm so happy to finally have one on my shelf.

I couldn't wait any longer and bit a few days ago on a certain auction site ... of course, Ringside got it in stock the following day, lol. My bad, could've saved some dough. One of my favorites of the entire line. Just fantastic. Celebrated by watching the match again late last night.

Found one locally today and I'm glad I did. I don't care if the jacket's rubber, I prefer it honestly. I don't care if the boots have laces (though I might keep the laced one MISB and get an accurate opener.) Don't care about the torso, plenty of their figs have that kinda off (I'm assuming WWE has a hand in that.)
My only issue is QC. I saw 4 of these, only 1 was acceptable. Two of them the jackets were spotty and trashed, the paint was just junk. The other had blue paint smeared across the left side of the face from ear to chin. I'd have been really upset had I ordered this and not gotten a good one.
I'll buy nearly every surfer/blonde Sting. As a kid I was mostly WWF, but Sting pulled me into WCW, he was a weird Hogan/Warrior mash up to me and I was super into him and Vader. So glad they're getting some of these out there.

The fig is great. I left it MOC because the package is awesome. Gonna pick up one with the correct boots eventually and open that one.

The fig is great. I left it MOC because the package is awesome. Gonna pick up one with the correct boots eventually and open that one. Today, I found 2 DM GAB Sting figures still available since whenever they recently hit my local south central PA TRU with quite a few qc issues as far as paint apps (this will surely be a figure where that is inevitable though). Seeing as that was the case more so with the jacket than the face, it is possibly able to be overlooked, but I couldn't make myself impulsively pull the trigger, mainly due to being the laced boots version of course. Otherwise, I would have, for I had the same idea as yourself spring to mind this morning. I'm thinking it's still not such a bad idea to just pick one up even with the laces, 'cause "why not?" I mean, might as well have several different versions, including the apparent low amount of production for the first run "variant"...plus I plan on doing what I normally do with all DMs: buying multiples of each character. So, without meaning to, I believe you have inadvertently talked me into my own initial gut instinct, as it's actually a good idea honestly, the more I pensively ponder an eventual purchase, all while talking myself into it! Also, overall, seeing it in person I have to agree it's an awesome DM figure, even if not in the conversation of top 5 all-time, let alone its shortcomings that are often brought up in discussions. Before stumbling upon the Stonger, I was just popping in mark fashion over finding Nattie By Nature today & Zack Ryder from the B 61 series @ Wal*Mart. Those were the only two I really "need" from that set too, so I'm content, and those will hold me over in the mean time. I contemplated snapping pix of those works of art. After all, I immediately thought to myself, "Woo Woo Woo! You Know It's Long Island Iced Tease DomiNATrix!" I spared the forum the usual pun-induced thread title though lol. But I was giggling, giddy & gleeful with the Calgary gal-carry-out purchase!

Never thought it looked bad at all and can't wait to pick one up. Kudos. I'm glad to hear some people actually appreciate it for what it is. Stinger is the man
