This is exactly why I use a bat from a Mcfarlane Walking Dead figure. Paint it black and seal it. That's it. I wouldn't display my Stings with that mattel bat in a million years. Its ugly, warped and just plain out of scale. I've had a custom Mcfarlane bat ready to go for months. Figure will finally be here tomorrow and I can't wait. I would consider it if you want the most accurate Sting. Go with another bat.

Ya it wouldve snapped if i kept moving the leg forward and back. After heating the joint and leaving the figure in a seated position all night tho it's fine. That's PJs trick i think and it works great if you can snag a McFarlane baseball bat, much better replacement Good tip! Im gonna find one

These things are made in a Chinese factory where they're made by children God knows how old. Heating up water to straighten the bat out, should be the LEAST of your problems. China has labor laws you know. Businesses can not employ anyone under the age of 16 in china Are you Serious ?? Yes because China follows all the rules, and they don't put up suicide nets at foxconn/apple factories.

Those issues are on apple and the government not stepping in. The point in my statement is china is one the most corrupt countries in the world maybe #1. So excuse me if I highly, highly doubt china follows those age limit "rules". People would rather jump off of factory roofs that work in there factories.

I'm wondering if you could carefully push a needle into the bat from the bottom and it hold the shape then. I've heard of someone doing that to fingers to hold them straight (Austin's bird finger).

The fact that they're "wooden" bats never bothered me. Then I read this thread, and now I hate them.

Apple chooses the suppliers, knowing that these places do not adhere to china's labor laws. Mattel is not apple.

Mattel is not apple. Yes because mattel has not had any recalls because there products had lead paint in them ala 2007. If your going to keep saying mattel can do no wrong and china is not a massively corrupt country even when the facts tell otherwise I don't know what else to say.

The bats suck, it was a bad choice. Mattel would be outed and a huge fuss would be made about it..just like when apple had a dozen or so kids employed
