Its a ghastly figure and worth nowhere near the price tag of £23.99 here in the UK. Ill pick it up loose on the secondary market for a fraction of the retail price. I like to support my local retail outlet but this figure will be an exception. It should have been much better, the face is horrible and the jacket is horrible. Its a catastrophe of a figure. They couldnt even get the boots right, some are laced some arent and this is meant to be a defining moments figure? Its a complete farce. Why didnt they use the same material as the jacket with DM Macho? That would have looked amazing, everytime I look at that DM Macho the jacket really is the stand out piece on the figure, its beautiful and shows what Mattel are really capable of if they put the effort in, I dont buy this budget excuse, this is a defining moments figure, the more expensive price tag dictates that we should be getting a better figure, that DM Sting really just looks like a regular Elite.

Yes. So far I have the laces version moc, still have to find the lace less correct version for my loose collection.

If you're going to play with it, get him. Let your imagination run wild and have a great time playing with Stinger in his stars and stripes. If you're going to display it, the jacket looks great. Either way, for $25 you get an iconic old-school Elite Surfer Sting to enhance your fed and collection.

I have swapped out the boots and it improved things greatly but its still an underwhelming figure to me.

I ordered him from Ringside, looked him over and sold him for less than I paid, just to get rid of him.
