They need to be harder plastic The wood grain looks corny and terrible Just make it a flat smooth surface Also my right sting leg is fused I almost broke it. I need to hair dry it. Hopefully I didn't twist it too much at first but I didn't remember the first crow sting having that issue

Diecast bats would be nice! Maybe a 1:500 Bat chase?

if you can snag a McFarlane baseball bat, much better replacement

Neither of my 2 so far look like this.
Just ordered RSC Sting, hope the bat doesn't look like this on all of them

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.

Most if not all of the Bats I've seen are somehow crooked

be careful man, the Mattel/forum SMARKS here will condemn you for talking bad about the new quality of figs.... try using the Boil 'N Pop technique instead! Defending something we enjoy collecting hardly makes someone a smark. They're relatively cheap from collective stand point. That being said.... Bats should of definitely been made of a harder plastic. So easily warped

Its not even about the warped bat. Its that Sting never used a long ass wooden bat. He always used short aluminum bats. So dumb that we keep getting these. Toybiz got it right 18 years ago, why cant Mattel....oh yeah because weve been Matty'd....

Owning hundreds and purchasing a hundred more each year is not mate... now times that by thousands from buyers around the world... pretty sure Mattel is the one getting cheap, especially when their quality was higher in earlier series... and then they make it a RSC exclusive thing so you have to pay MORE especially if you are overseas!!! We are not all wealthy like you and consider this a cheap hobby.... pay attention to how many more of these quality control threads are coming out... "THIS FIG IS IN BAD SHAPE, OH WELL IT'S CHEAP!" said no one ever

You are so right on that bat. Felt this way about the first one, and the new one is just as bad. As I recall sing had an aluminum bat not wood so there should be no grain. But that's a bit nitpicky and I can over look it. I can't however overlook the melty handle. This is awful. I am lucky enough to have my old WCW toy biz sting bat which looks much better.

I agree about the bat. The figure makes up for it to me.

MattelDesignTeam Is there any way that the mold for the bat could be changed and the plastic as well? For accuracy and aesthetic sake I would love to see a harder aluminum-like bat with no grain.

This is one of the problems I have as well. I don't get why they'd even want to make a wooden bat and yes I know they used it from a wwe promo but Sting is known for his aluminum bat. We've gotten a lot of good detail on the older toybiz figures that the elites lack. For me personally, it's a giant step back. I think this figure is not up to par to be quite honest. The nWo logo is in the wrong spot, the arms and torso are relatively small in comparison to the lower body, painted skintone, the vertical lines on his lips are also missing and the hairline is a bit wierd. Now to top it all off my RSE Sting has qc issues and has a black blotch on his back. A figure of this caliber and price should not have so many inaccuracies. My biggest problem that's really bugging me about the WCW Stings are the boots, they should be taller. Current Sting wears shorter boots and they are glossy. And.... Sting is my favorite wrestler of all time, so hear me out on my frustrations. I've been waiting a really long time for some quality Sting figures and Mattel has the resources to make them right. Thank you.
Edit: I have contacted both Ringside and Mattel about my figure's quality issue. Hopefully, I'll get this resolved.

Yes, Mattel's quality control has gone south. $20 isn't a premium though. It's the market standard for mass produced toys, see also Marvel Legends, DC Multiverse, Star Wars Black, McFarlane Color Tops, Mattel Halo, etc. This happens. It still isnt as bad as some of the things Hasbro let squeak by in the Matvel Legends line. When cracks and crevices don't get covered like MLs, then I'll become more vocal.
