I'm really surprised there hasn't been more surfer stings or a 96 brown hair version of stinger, what attires would yall like to see me the pink and black and orange and blue are a must!

The lack of surfer stings just aggravates me

Right? I get the choice for the DM but man, there are soo many others I'd rather have had before that green basic.

They'll be making Stings for eternity. They'll all be covered by the end.
But I agree, that green one was an odd choice.

The neon green was a good choice, but he should have been taller so it was the same size as the DM. Personally I want pink next, but I also want a surfer Sting in every wave of Elites and Basics they release. There will never be enough Sting figures released for me.

man dont even get me started. Mattel has pissed me off with the way they've jerked having Sting around. Its only fitting they they keep releasing this stupid black & white look so it keeps clogging shelves. Now the neon green one is clogging shelves as well because they made it a stupid basic figure. You know what Sting isnt clogging though? The only ELITE SURFER STING that was made.

I don't know man, I'm pretty worried. They bungled RVD HARD. One Elite, maybe 2 basics, NO iconic attires. Just terrible. Then there was the whole blue Hogan before Hollywood and Hulk Still Rules debacle. They make some choices that are questionable at best and baffling at worst. I still hate the current surfer Proclaimers scan with the huge overbite, so I am still waiting for something better than that. As for the mid-length brown hair surfer transition head, I don't expect anything like that for quite awhile if at all. Although that figure would be perfect for a Bash at the Beach basic 6 pack with Hogan, Hall, Nash, Savage, Sting, and Luger. It would probably sell better than all of the other re-release 6 packs (although it would be a WCW non-Hollywood Hogan).

Ill buy them but Im glad Ive got most of the Crow looks. Thats the Sting I know, and most kids are going to recognize. Surfer Sting doesnt look anything like Sting now. Ill probably get flamed by geriatrics, but Crow Sting looks like much more of a badass than Surfer Sting.
Its like Hogan. I was first introduced to Hogan when he was already nWo, so when I was shown Hulkamania, I was like "whos that swollen hotdog with a baldspot?" Not a "cool" look. He just looked like an old man. Flair too. This is what I thought as a kid, so imagine what they think now.......

Surfer Sting looks like a nerd with the flat top and rat tail. Just my opinion. |

I used to rock the flat top at UPS for years. |

I thought for sure we would of had more blonde Stings by now. Can't believe we've only had one so far. Maybe they haven't released more because they are re-tooling his figure "recipe" as in making his torso smaller and a new sculpt.

I'm really just hoping for him in the retro line, but 96' short brown hair Sting is the Sting I knew and loved when I was most into WCW. I never liked the Crow look and was bummed he never left it after he came back in 97', plus he was never the same after that.
