I have always felt that the Savage heads on all the figs have been a bit cartoony, but seeing it with this facepaint makes me realize how wrong I was. Spot on

Alright... so that Sting head is pretty good IMO. It just looks like it was ripped off a Jakks figure and stuck on a Mattel figure. It's too damn big for his body.
I'm still hoping that this is some kind of an optical illusion and a loose pic will make it look better.
Luger and Savage look good.

Yeah, these clearer pics just sort of solidify the odd size of that Sting head. Even if by some magical chance it isn't so bad in person, there's almost no way you'll be able to hide its size should you choose to go for a more accurate torso switch. There's so much to like about the 3pk otherwise, but that and the dull Savage head are a bit disappointing.

Only way this pack could have been better is if they gave Lex white boots and Savage the shirt he wore for the promo.

Happy to see a Sting but this is not what I wanted. That head is huge. Where is his neck?

Sting looks like there's a brown snake playing peekaboo with his ass.

Okay, so they finally nailed Sting's likeness on the surfer Sting. That thing looks incredible! Now the rest of the figure needs to be disposed of and redone completely as far as part selection. Seriously? How hard is it to give Sting an Austin torso and thicker legs with accurate boots? That torso is just too ripped for Sting. I want to see what Luger looks like without the face paint, the likeness looks okay. I'm just upset that Mattel won't correct Sting's parts. I also hope they use the headscan for some crow figures, it's just fantastic.

By the way, any fellow U.K. Collectors here that want these, hit me up. I'd be more than happy to trade for the contract set released there with the Balor basic!
Once these show up in my area that is!

That Sting head is huge.. he could be the world international head butting champion and just a couple hours into 2017.....i think we have a strong contender for worst elite of 2017 this looks like a bad custom made from Jakks & MOTUC parts. shame, cuz the head looks decent and a 96' pre-Crow Sting is a look that I really wanted

The streak continues, Mattel hates Surfer Sting.
Maybe if Surfer Sting was in NXT Mattel would bend over backwards to get the figure right.

A few random thoughts: - I love the idea and hope it sells well enough to warrant more "special event" multi figure packs. - Sting looks like he just smelled a really bad fart and is wondering whether it was Luger or Savage who did it. Having said that, I really want a BatB Sting! - I hope they release an elite WCW Luger with that head minus the face paint. - I don't mind the $50 price point; it sounds reasonable to me for three cool elites. I'm not sure that I will pay that price though for the one off face painted Luger and Savage, as historic as those looks are. I'm also not sure I will ever see it at retail because there are no Walmarts nearby (I live in one of the few areas that actually told Walmart to get bent when they tried to open a store here a few years back). - If someone were to buy the set but not want Sting, they should PM me. Maybe we could work something out. Particularly if that person is adept at torso swapping and would like to make Sting a little less huge

I hope something can be done with that figure. Usually I would be pretty excited to drop some cash on a new Sting, Macho and to lesser extent Luger.

Thanks for the new pics.
Luger and Savage look fine.
That Sting sculpt really does look good, way better than the DM & Basic. It actually resembles Borden. Just looks like they were in a hurry and didn't shrink it down enough.
Oh well, there's always next time. Still excited to find this.

For some reason that Sting face reminds me of the villain from Best of the Best 2. Random thought.
I sincerely hope Mattel never tries to use that exact head on any future Basics.

Very cool. Been waiting for a brown haired surfer Sting. This one is by no means perfect, but I can't pass it up.

I have always felt that the Savage heads on all the figs have been a bit cartoony, but seeing it with this facepaint makes me realize how wrong I was. Spot on Like most people I think I'm thinking what would I do with this? swap a macho head and a lex head or leave it be. Seeing this closer though I don't like the macho facepaint and bandana... I dunno, I think he looks weird. Maybe better in hand. I love that sting but I'd have rather had just a WCW pack. A regular lex luger in blue trunks, a regular macho and then this sting. This is cool but not what I'd pick.
